AST-1306

The Uses of AST-1306

Alitinib (AST-1306) is a structural analog of lapatinib, a new quinazoline anti-tumor drug, and a small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which selectively acts on EGFR/ErbB2 /ErbB4 receptor.

What are the applications of Application

AST 1306 is a potent and selective inhibitor of EGFR phosphorylation

Biological Activity

ast-1306 is a selective, irreversible inhibitor of erbb2 and egfr with ic50 values of 0.5nm and 3nm, respectively [1].ast-1306 is designed and synthesized based on the chemical structure of lapatinib. the molecular docking method shows ast-1306 binds to the atp-binding pocket of the kinases and form covalent bind with certain amino acids. ast-1306 can inhibit egfr and erbb2 in a cell-free assay with more than 3000-fold selectivity to other kinases. besides the wild-type egfr, ast-1306 also inhibits egfr mutant t790m/l858r both in a cell-free assay and in hih3t3 cells. the growth of the cells is suppressed by ast-1306 due to the inhibition of the phosphorylation of egfr. it also occurs in some human cancer cells. experiments have proved that ast-1306 notly inhibits the phosphorylation of egfr and erbb2 and subsequently decreases the downstream pathways of these kinases in a549 cells, calu-3 cells and sk-ov-3 cells. moreover, ast-1306 potently inhibits the tumor growth both in erbb2-overexpressing xenograft models and fvb-2/nneu transgenic mouse model [1].
