afatinib (bibw2992)

Afatinib Dimaleate (BIBW 2992MA2) is an orally bioavailable anilino-quinazoline derivative and inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) epidermal growth factor receptor (ErbB; EGFR) family, with antineoplastic activity.

Afatinib (BIBW 2992) is an irreversible inhibitor of the EGFR family (EGFR-wt, EGFR-L858R, EGFR-L858R T790M, and HER2) with IC50s of 0.5 nM, 0.4 nM, 10 nM, and 14 nM, respectively.

(S)-Afatinib (BIBW2992) is an irreversible EGFR family inhibitor with IC50s of 0.5 0.4 10 14 1 nM for EGFRwt, EGFR (L858R), EGFR (L858R T790M), HER2, and HER4, respectively.

(R)-Afatinib ((R)-BIBW 2992), an isomer of Afatinib, is a potent, orally administered, irreversible inhibitor targeting the ErbB family (EGFR and HER2) with IC50 values of 0.5 nM for EGFR wt, 0.4 nM for EGFR L858R, 10 nM for EGFR L858R T790M, and 14 nM for HER2, holding potential for research into esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and gastric cancer [1].

Afatinib impurity 11 is a byproduct of Afatinib, an irreversible EGFR family inhibitor with IC50 values of 0.5 nM, 0.4 nM, 10 nM, and 14 nM for EGFRwt, EGFRL858R, EGFRL858R T790M, and HER2, respectively[1].
