Product Description
Desmethyl Erlotinib (OSI-420 free base) is the bioactive metabolite of Erlotinib, an EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Desmethyl Erlotinib is a reagent for click chemistry. It contains Alkyne groups and could undergo CuAAc (copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction) with compounds bearing an Azide group.
Desmethyl Erlotinib (OSI-420) is the bioactive metabolite of the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib. Erlotinib is an orally active drug used to treat non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. Desmethyl erlotinib is formed by the demethylation of erlotinib and is an active metabolite.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Desmethyl Erlotinib targets the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. As an active metabolite of erlotinib, it retains the ability to inhibit EGFR autophosphorylation in tumor cells. Its mechanism of action is similar to that of the parent drug, involving the inhibition of EGFR signaling pathways.
ln Vitro
In vitro, desmethyl erlotinib is an active metabolite of erlotinib that inhibits EGFR tyrosine kinase activity. Erlotinib itself has an IC₅₀ of 2 nM for the inhibition of human EGFR and 20 nM for the inhibition of EGFR autophosphorylation in tumor cells. The metabolite contributes to the overall antiproliferative effect of the drug.
ln Vivo
In a pharmacokinetic investigation conducted in Wistar rats, desmethyl erlotinib showed a t1/2 of 11.96±2.01 h[1].
In vivo, desmethyl erlotinib is a bioactive metabolite of erlotinib. It is formed in the body and contributes to the therapeutic efficacy of the parent drug. Its pharmacokinetic profile is studied to understand the overall disposition and activity of erlotinib in patients.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for desmethyl erlotinib typically involve its use as a reference standard in LC-MS methods. The compound is used to quantify the metabolite in biological samples. Its kinase inhibitory activity can be measured using cell-free kinase assays with recombinant EGFR.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell assays, cancer cell lines expressing EGFR (e.g., A431, HCC827) are cultured and treated with desmethyl erlotinib. Cell proliferation is assessed by MTT or SRB assays. EGFR phosphorylation is measured by Western blot to confirm target inhibition. The compound's potency is compared to that of erlotinib.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo animal studies, desmethyl erlotinib is measured in plasma and tissue samples after administration of erlotinib. The compound is quantified by LC-MS to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of the parent drug and its metabolite. Its contribution to the overall antitumor effect is evaluated in xenograft models.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Desmethyl Erlotinib (MW 379.41) has the molecular formula C₂₁H₂₁N₃O₄. It is a crystalline solid with a purity of ≥98%. The compound is stable under recommended storage conditions. It is soluble in DMSO and other organic solvents. It is also known as OSI-420 and CP-473420.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
The compound is for research use only. No specific toxicity data are available for desmethyl erlotinib. As an active metabolite of a kinase inhibitor, its toxicity profile is expected to be related to the parent drug. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed.

  • 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)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
