WZ8040

WZ8040 is a novel EGFR inhibitor which suppresses the growth of EGFR-T790M-containing cell lines and inhibits EGFR phosphorylation. WZ8040 has a basic chemical framework (covalent pyrimidine) which is different from that of other EGFR inhibitors. WZ8040 is 30- to 100-fold more potent against EGFR T790M, and up to 100-fold less potent against wildtype EGFR, than quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors (HKI-272 and CL-387,785) in vitro.
