| Targets |
The primary target of o-Desmethyl gefitinib is EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor). It acts as a potent inhibitor of EGFR with an IC50 of 36 nM in subcellular assays. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of gefitinib, involving inhibition of EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. By inhibiting EGFR, it blocks downstream signaling pathways that promote cell proliferation and survival.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, o-Desmethyl gefitinib inhibits EGFR with an IC50 of 36 nM in subcellular assays. It is a potent inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase, with activity comparable to that of gefitinib. Its inhibitory activity is typically measured using kinase assays with purified EGFR or cell lysates.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, o-Desmethyl gefitinib is an active metabolite of gefitinib and contributes to the overall pharmacological activity of the parent drug. It is present in human plasma following gefitinib administration and inhibits EGFR in vivo. Its effects on tumor growth are similar to those of gefitinib.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for o-Desmethyl gefitinib involve EGFR kinase assays using purified EGFR enzyme or cell lysates. The compound's inhibitory activity is measured by monitoring the phosphorylation of a substrate peptide or protein in the presence of ATP. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. Its selectivity for EGFR over other kinases can be assessed.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for o-Desmethyl gefitinib are conducted in cancer cell lines that express EGFR, such as A431 or NSCLC cells. Cells are treated with the compound, and cell proliferation is measured using assays such as MTT or CellTiter-Glo. EGFR phosphorylation and downstream signaling (e.g., AKT, ERK) are assessed by western blotting.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies for o-Desmethyl gefitinib are not typically performed as a standalone compound, as it is a metabolite of gefitinib. However, its efficacy in animal models would be similar to that of gefitinib, which is studied in xenograft models of EGFR-driven cancers. Animals are administered gefitinib, and the levels of o-Desmethyl gefitinib and its effects on tumor growth are monitored.

| Solubility (In Vitro) |
DMSO : ~100 mg/mL (~231.01 mM)

|---|---|
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.78 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (5.78 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication. For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |

*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.
