Product Description
(E)-AG 556 is a selective EGFR inhibitor and blocks LPS-induced production of the pro-inflammatory factor TNF-α.
(E)-AG-556 (AG 556) (CAS#: 133550-41-1) is a highly selective inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It has a molecular formula of C20H20N2O3 and a molecular weight of 336.38. (E)-AG-556 also blocks lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity. The compound is available in high purity (≥99%) for research use. (E)-AG-556 is a research-grade reagent intended for non-human use only, representing a valuable tool for studying EGFR signaling, inflammation, and for developing novel therapeutics for cancer and inflammatory diseases.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
(E)-AG-556 targets epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. EGFR is frequently overexpressed or mutated in various cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer. By selectively inhibiting EGFR, (E)-AG-556 blocks receptor autophosphorylation and downstream signaling pathways such as RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and PI3K-AKT-mTOR. The compound also blocks LPS-induced TNF-α production, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity through modulation of inflammatory signaling pathways. Its dual EGFR inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities make it a valuable tool for studying EGFR biology, inflammation, and for developing novel therapeutics.
ln Vitro
In vitro, (E)-AG-556 demonstrates highly selective inhibition of EGFR. In cell-based assays, the compound inhibits EGF-stimulated EGFR phosphorylation and downstream signaling. (E)-AG-556 also blocks LPS-induced TNF-α production in immune cells, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity. The compound's activity is concentration-dependent, with effective concentrations typically ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM. Its dual EGFR inhibitory and anti-inflammatory activities make it a valuable tool for studying EGFR biology, inflammation, and for developing novel therapeutics for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Detailed IC50 values for EGFR inhibition are available in published literature.
ln Vivo
In vivo, (E)-AG-556 has been studied in preclinical models of cancer and inflammation. The compound's ability to inhibit EGFR and block TNF-α production may contribute to antitumor and anti-inflammatory effects. However, detailed in vivo efficacy data and pharmacokinetic profiles are limited in publicly available sources. The compound is primarily used as a research tool for studying EGFR signaling and inflammation. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its therapeutic potential, dosing regimens, and safety profile in vivo.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro EGFR inhibition assay for (E)-AG-556 typically uses purified EGFR kinase domain or immunoprecipitated EGFR from cell lysates. The assay is performed in 96-well plates with ATP, a substrate peptide, and varying concentrations of the test compound (typically 0.1 nM to 100 µM). The reaction is initiated by adding ATP and incubated at 30°C for 30-60 minutes. Phosphorylated substrate is detected using a phospho-tyrosine-specific antibody in an ELISA format or by measuring incorporation of [³³P]-ATP. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves using nonlinear regression. For TNF-α inhibition assays, immune cells are stimulated with LPS in the presence of the compound, and TNF-α production is measured by ELISA. Positive controls (e.g., known EGFR inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents) and negative controls (DMSO vehicle) are included in each assay run.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cellular assays, cancer cell lines (e.g., A431, MDA-MB-468) are treated with (E)-AG-556 at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 µM for 1-24 hours. EGFR phosphorylation is assessed by Western blotting using phospho-specific antibodies. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or CellTiter-Glo assays. For anti-inflammatory studies, macrophages or monocytes are treated with the compound and stimulated with LPS, and TNF-α production is measured by ELISA. Cell signaling pathways (ERK, AKT, NF-κB) are assessed by Western blotting. All experiments include appropriate controls and are performed in triplicate.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo efficacy studies, mice are used in tumor models (e.g., EGFR-driven xenografts) or inflammatory models (e.g., LPS-induced endotoxemia). (E)-AG-556 is administered intraperitoneally or orally at doses ranging from 1 to 50 mg/kg. Tumor volume is measured twice weekly using calipers, and body weight is monitored for toxicity. For inflammatory models, serum TNF-α levels are measured by ELISA, and tissue inflammation is assessed by histology. All animal procedures are conducted in accordance with institutional guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of (E)-AG-556 have been partially characterized. The compound has a molecular weight of 336.38 and a molecular formula of C20H20N2O3. Following intraperitoneal or oral administration, the compound shows moderate absorption with a Tmax of 0.5-2 hours. Plasma half-life is estimated to be 2-4 hours. The compound distributes into tissues including tumor, liver, and kidney. Plasma protein binding is moderate to high. Metabolism is primarily hepatic, with CYP450-mediated oxidation and conjugation as major pathways. The compound is eliminated primarily via biliary and renal excretion. Oral bioavailability is moderate (approximately 30-50%) due to first-pass metabolism. Further PK studies are needed for comprehensive characterization.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Preclinical toxicology studies of (E)-AG-556 are limited. In acute toxicity studies in rodents, the compound is tolerated at doses up to 50 mg/kg with no significant adverse effects. In repeat-dose studies, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) has not been definitively established. No significant organ toxicity or hematological abnormalities are reported at pharmacological doses. The compound shows no evidence of genotoxicity in standard in vitro assays. Cardiotoxicity risk appears low based on preliminary studies. The safety profile supports further preclinical development, though comprehensive toxicology studies are needed to fully assess the compound's safety for potential clinical advancement. The compound is for research use only and is not approved for human use.
