Product Description
Mefatinib free base is a potent tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (antagonist) with anti-tumor activity.
Mefatinib free base (Mifanertinib) is a potent, second-generation, irreversible dual inhibitor of EGFR and HER2. It is an orally bioavailable tyrosine kinase inhibitor being investigated for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and other solid tumors driven by EGFR and HER2 aberrations.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
EGFR (ErbB1) and HER2 (ErbB2). Mefatinib is an irreversible dual inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.4 nM for EGFR and 11.7 nM for HER2. It forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the ATP-binding pocket of these receptors.
ln Vitro
Mefatinib inhibits EGFR with an IC50 of 0.4 nM, which is equipotent or superior to afatinib (0.5 nM). It maintains comparable HER2 inhibitory activity (11.7 nM vs. 14 nM for afatinib). In vitro, it blocks the proliferation of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines and HER2-amplified breast cancer cells, inducing apoptosis and G1 cell cycle arrest.
ln Vivo
In mouse xenograft models of EGFR-mutant NSCLC, oral administration of Mefatinib induces significant and dose-dependent tumor regression. It has shown superiority over first-generation reversible EGFR inhibitors in models of acquired resistance. Its irreversible binding mechanism provides sustained target inhibition and a long duration of action.
Enzyme Assay
Cell-free kinase assays are performed using recombinant human EGFR and HER2 enzymes. The compound is pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10-15 minutes to allow for covalent binding. Then, ATP and a peptide substrate are added. After 30-60 minutes, the reaction is quenched, and IC50 values are measured using an ADP-Glo luminescence detection kit.
Cell Assay
EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell lines (e.g., PC-9, HCC827) or HER2-amplified cells (e.g., NCI-N87) are seeded in 96-well plates and treated with Mefatinib for 72 hours. Cell viability is measured using the CellTiter-Glo reagent. The effect on downstream signaling pathways (p-EGFR, p-AKT, p-ERK) is measured by Western blot. Apoptosis is assessed by Caspase-3/7 activity.
Animal Protocol
To assess in vivo efficacy, a NSCLC xenograft model is established in BALB/c nude mice by subcutaneous inoculation of EGFR-mutant cells. When tumors reach a certain volume, mice are treated orally with Mefatinib (10-50 mg/kg) once daily. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers twice weekly. At study termination, tumors are excised for pharmacodynamic analysis of EGFR phosphorylation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Mefatinib is orally bioavailable and has favorable pharmacokinetic properties for cancer treatment. Its irreversible binding mechanism supports once-daily oral dosing. The free base form is critical for its solubility and absorption. It is metabolized in the liver, primarily by CYP3A4, and has a moderate terminal half-life in preclinical species.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are detailed. As an irreversible EGFR/HER2 inhibitor, its safety profile is expected to be similar to other drugs in its class (e.g., Afatinib), with potential adverse events including diarrhea, skin rash, and stomatitis. In preclinical studies, it was generally well-tolerated, with no significant off-target toxicities reported.

Additional Infomation
Other information: Mefatinib free base (CAS 1639014-72-4) is a research compound. It is distinct from the dimaleate salt form. Its irreversible inhibition of both EGFR and HER2 makes it a valuable tool for studying mechanisms of resistance to reversible inhibitors. It is not FDA-approved and is strictly for research use only. Synonyms: Mifanertinib.
