Mubritinib (TAK-165) is a potent and selective EGFR2/HER2 inhibitor with an IC50 of 6 nM. IC50 & Target: IC50: 6 nM (EGFR2)[1] In Vitro: TAK-165 specifically inhibits HER2 tyrosine kinase with an IC50 6 nM and does not inhibit other types tyrosine kinase up to 25 000 nM. TAK-165 inhibits HER2 phosphorylation and its down-stream Akt and MAPK in HER2 strongly expressing cells (BT474 breast cancer cell line). TAK-165 sensitivity depends on HER2 levels of each cell line. Especially, BT474 cells which over-express HER2 strongly is highly sensitive (IC50=0.005 uM) and PC-3 cells which express HER2 very weakly is less sensitive (IC50=4.62 uM). But, HT1376 and ACHN cells that over-expressed EGFR showed high IC50 (IC50>25 uM)[1]. In Vivo: In the xenograft model, treatment with TAK-165 significantly inhibits growth of UMUC-3, ACHN, and LN-REC4. The antitumor effect after 14 days treatment are 22.9%, 26.0%, and 26.5% in UMUC3, ACHN and LN-REC4, respectively[1]. |
