Gefitinib (ZD1839) (Synonyms: ZD1839) |
Catalog No.GC16737 |
Gefitinib (ZD1839), is a potent EGFR-TKI (EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor) with IC50 of 0.033 µM, selectively inhibits EGF-stimulated tumor cell growth with IC50 of 0.054 µM and that blocks EGF-stimulated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) autophosphorylation in tumor cells[1].

Gefitinib (ZD1839), is a potent EGFR-TKI (EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor) with IC50 of 0.033 µM, selectively inhibits EGF-stimulated tumor cell growth with IC50 of 0.054 µM and that blocks EGF-stimulated EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) autophosphorylation in tumor cells[1].
In vitro, the NR6wtEGFR and NR6M cell lines had low levels of PLC-γ phosphorylations but the level in the NR6M cell line was more resistant to inhibition by gefitinib (IC50 of 43 and 369 nm, respectively)[2]. A gefitinib concentration above 0.1 µm decreases the colony-forming ability of NR6W and NR6wtEGFR cells and a concentration of 1.5 µm completely abolishes the ability of these cell lines to form colonies[2]. The IC50 values of four NSCLC cells for gefitinib were 18.90 µmol/L, 16.40 µmol/L, 1.794 µmol/L and 15.99 µmol/L for A549, H1975, PC9, and PC9/GR, respectively[3]. In addition, a small concentration of gefitinib (0.62 µmol/L) significantly inhibited IL-13-induced M2-like polarization of macrophages[4].
In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were treated with 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg, once-daily for 18 days, intragastrically significantly inhibited lung metastases compared with lung tumor metastatic model mice, further indicating that the lung tissue had a reduced number of metastatic lesions and cancer cells[5]. In vivo, the growth of D341 and Daoy (medulloblastoma cell lines) xenografts treated with gefitinib at 150 mg/kg per day was inhibited by approximately 50%. Ectopically overexpressed HER2 in Daoy cells significantly increased sensitivity to gefitinib's antitumor effects in vivo (tumor volume inhibition = 78%)[6].

Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines |
PC-9 or PC-9/GR cells |
Preparation Method |
A549 (2 × 103/100 µL/well), PC-9 (3 × 103/100 µL/well) or PC-9/GR cells (3 × 103/100 µL/well) were plated into each well of 96-well plates. After incubating 24 h, several concentrations of W2014-S, W2014-R, gefitinib, and/or culture supernatants were added to each well, and incubation was continued for another 72 h. Cell proliferation and IC50 values of gefitinib at different concentrations for 72 h were measured in PC-9 (0 - 600 nM) and PC-9/GR (0 - 120 nM) cells. |
Reaction Conditions |
0 - 600 nM; 0 - 120 nM; 72 h |
Applications |
PC-9 cells harboring EGFR activating mutations were sensitive to gefitinib with an IC50 at 32 nM. While PC-9 acquired resistance to gefitinib after continuous exposure to gefitinib at low concentration for a long time, and then it was termed as PC-9/GR with an IC50 at 6.547 µM. |
Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models |
nude mice |
Preparation Method |
PC9/GR and A549/GR cells stably transfected with sh-NC or sh-SNHG17#1 were inoculated into nude mice (male, 6 weeks old). After 4 days of inoculation, the mice were treated with gefitinib (oral gavage, 5 days per week at 25 mg/kg). After 28 days of inoculation, all mice developed tumours. |
Dosage form |
25 mg/kg; p.o. |
Applications |
LncRNA SNHG17 knockdown or treatment with gefitinib could decrease the tumour volume and weight. |
