Gefitinib (formerly ZD1839, ZD-1839 or trade name: Iressa) is a potent and orally bioavailable EGFR inhibitor with potential anticancer activity. In the NR6wtEGFR and NR6W cells, it inhibits EGFR Tyr1173, Tyr992, Tyr1173, and Tyr992 with IC50 values of 37 nM, 37 nM, 26 nM, and 57 nM, respectively. A variety of human tumor types, such as head and neck, prostate, breast, ovarian, colon, small-cell lung, and non-small-cell lung cancer, show anti-angiogenic properties when treated with gefitinib. The FDA authorized gefitinib in May 2003 for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As a third-line therapy, it was authorized for use as monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following the failure of both platinum-based and docetaxel chemotherapies.

ln Vitro |
Gefitinib effectively inhibits all EGFR tyrosine phosphorylation sites in cell lines that express EGFR, including NR6, NR6M, and NR6W cell lines, as well as high and low-EGFR-expressing cell lines. Tyr992 and Tyr1173, two phosphorylation sites, are less sensitive and require greater concentrations of Gefitinib to inhibit. With an IC50 of 27 nM, gefitinib efficiently prevents PLC-γ phosphorylation in NR6W cells. PLC-γ phosphorylation is low in the NR6wtEGFR and NR6M cell lines, but it is more resistant to gefitinib inhibition in the latter, with IC50 values of 43 nM and 369 nM, respectively. Gefitinib inhibits Akt phosphorylations in the low-EGFR- and EGFRvIII-expressing cell lines, with IC50 values of 220 and 263 nM, respectively. When administered at doses ranging from 0.1 to 0.5μM, gefitinib significantly promotes NR6M cell colony formation as opposed to inhibiting it. On the other hand, Gefitinib totally prevents NR6M colony formation at a concentration of 2 μM. In both the high- and low-EGFR-expressing cell lines, gefitinib quickly and dose-dependently inhibits EGFR and ERK phosphorylation for up to 72 hours following EGF stimulation.[1] These EGF-driven untransformed MCF10A cells grow monolayerically when exposed to gefitinib, with an IC50 of 20 nM. [2] When paired with irradiation, Gefitinib (0.2 μM and 0.5 μM) significantly inhibited the growth of LoVo cells in comparison to radiation alone.[3]

ln Vivo |
Gefitinib (100 mg/kg) enhances radiation therapy's anti-tumor efficaciousness in LoVo tumor xenografts.[3] When established human GEO colon cancer xenografts are given to nude mice bearing these tumors, gefitinib treatment results in a reversible dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth, as GEO tumors eventually resume the growth rate of controls.[4]

Enzyme Assay |
Gefitinib hydrochloride is an inhibitor with an IC50 value of 2-37 nM in NR6wtEGFR cells that selectively binds to and inhibits the EGFR tyrosine kinase. With an IC50 of 27 nM, gefitinib efficiently prevents PLC-γ phosphorylation in NR6W cells. PLC-γ phosphorylation is low in the NR6wtEGFR and NR6M cell lines, but it is more resistant to gefitinib inhibition in the latter, with IC50 values of 43 nM and 369 nM, respectively. Gefitinib inhibits Akt phosphorylations in the low-EGFR- and EGFRvIII-expressing cell lines, with IC50 values of 220 and 263 nM, respectively.

Cell Assay |
Exponentially growing cells, such as NR6, NR6M, NR6M, and NR6W cells, are seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 2000 cells/well, allowed to adhere, and then washed in PBS before being incubated overnight in medium containing 0.5% FCS. After that, cells are exposed to different concentrations (0–2 μM) of either gefitinib or the solute controls, DMSO and EGF. Since NR6wtEGFR and NR6W cells can proliferate best at a known EGF concentration, 10 nM and 0.1 nM EGF, respectively, are added to NR6wtEGFR and NR6W cells. NR6 and NR6M cells do not receive additional EGF. An MTT proliferation assay is used to quantify the number of cells after 72 hours.

Animal Protocol |
Female nude mice (cba nu/nu) aged 8–10 weeks are intra-dermal injected with LoVo cells.
