Biological Activity for Afatinib dimaleate

Afatinib dimaleate is a potent dual specificity EGFR/HER2 inhibitor (IC₅₀ are 0.4, 0.5, 10, 14, 1 nM for EGFR^L858R, EGFR^wt, EGFR ^L858R/T790M, ErbB2 (HER2) and ErbB4 (HER4), respectively). 100-fold more active than Gefitinib in L858R-T790M EGFR double mutant cell line. Irreversibly binds EGFR and HER2. Suppresses the kinase activity of wild-type and activated EGFR and HER2 mutants, including erlotinib-resistant isoforms. Induces tumor regression in xenograft and transgenic lung cancer models.
