Product Description
Afatinib (BIBW 2992) oxalate is an orally bioactive and irreversible bispecific inhibitor of the ErbB family (EGFR and HER2), with IC50s of 0.5 nM, 0.4 nM and 10 nM for EGFRwt, EGFRL858R, EGFRL858R/T790M and HER2 respectively. and 14 nM. Afatinib oxalate may be utilized in study/research of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and gastric cancer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
Heregulin-stimulated HER3 phosphorylation can be prevented by afatinib oxalate at a concentration of 100 nM [1]. Effectively suppressing the anchorage-independent proliferation of NIH-3T3 cells ectopically expressing EGFR mutations as well as the cell proliferation of H1666, H3255, and NCI 1975 cells is achieved with the use of Afatinib oxalate (0-10000 nM) [1]. SLMT-1, EC-1, HKESC-1, and HKESC-2 cells show growth suppression in response to Afatinib oxalate (48–72 hours) [2]. In ESCC cell lines, afatinib oxalate (0–1 μM, 24-48 hours) suppresses the AKT and MAPK pathways as well as EGFR and AKT phosphorylation [2]. HKESC-2 and EC-1 experience G0/G1 cell cycle arrest when exposed to afatinib oxalate (0–1 μM) for 16–48 hours [2]. In HKESC-2 and EC-1, afatinib oxalate (0–1 μM, 24-48 hours) efficiently causes apoptosis [2].
ln Vivo
EGFR, HER2, HER3, and AKT phosphorylation were all significantly downregulated and tumor regression was observed when oral afatinib oxalate (0–20 mg/kg) was administered daily for 25 days [1]. Strongly inhibiting the growth of HKESC-2 tumors was afatinib oxalate (15 mg/kg), taken orally for 5 days, followed by 2 days off, for a duration of 2 weeks [2].

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
