AZD9291

AZD9291 is an oral, irreversible, and mutant-selective EGFR inhibitor with IC50 of 12.92, 11.44 and 493.8 nM for Exon 19 deletion EGFR, L858R/T790M EGFR, and WT EGFR, respectively. In vivo, AZD9291 shows significantly more potent inhibition of proliferation in mutant EGFR cell lines when compared with wild-type. AZD9291(5mg/kg p.o.) causes profound regression of tumors across EGFRm+ (PC9) and EGFRm+/T790M (H1975) tumor models with profound inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation and key downstream signaling pathways such as AKT and ERK .
