AZD3759 is a selective EGFR inhibitor that can fully penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), with equal free concentrations in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain tissue. Treatment with AZD3759 causes tumor regression in subcutaneous xenograft, leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), and brain metastasis (BM) lung cancer models and prevents the development of BM in nude mice.
AZD3759 is an EGFP inhibitor (Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor) with blood brain barrier (BBB) penetration. It has the potential for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with brain metastases (BM) and leptomengingeal metastases (LM) since this type of cancer often contain a lot of activating mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It has excellent capability of penetrating the blood brain barrier to reach the central nervous system.
AZD 3759 is EGFR inhibitor. It is a potent, oral active, central nervous system-penetrant, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
