Featured New

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

WZ4002 is EGFR inhibitor against EGFR T790M (mutation of the gatekeeper T790 residue) which is detected in 50% of clinically resistant patients to gefitinib or erlotinib. WZ4002 has a basic chemical framework (covalent pyrimidine) which is different from that of other EGFR inhibitors. This agent is 30- to 100-fold more potent against EGFR T790M, and up to 100-fold less potent against wildtype EGFR, than quinazoline-based EGFR inhibitors (HKI-272 and CL-387,785) in vitro.

More Info
WZ4002 is one of three new compounds designed specifically to bind to and inhibit T790M-mutated EGFR. Importantly, WZ4002 does not inhibit wild-type EGFR; thus, it may have less effect on normal body cells and not cause diarrhea or rash like iressa and tarceva. WZ4002 is a compound that can inhibit T790M EGFR in the laboratory cells without inhibiting normal EGFR.  Clinically effective doses could be safely reached in the mice.  This new compound seems sufficiently promising in the lab to move on to phase I testing.  However, as of August 2010, no news about clinical study was reported in the internet.   Researchers tested WZ4002 in NSCLC cells with EGFR T90M and found several that were up to 100 times more potent than quinazolines in restricting cell growth. As an unexpected bonus, these compounds were nearly 100 times less powerful at slowing the growth of cells with normal EGFR, suggesting they would be less likely to produce side effects than current drugs. The agent which performed the best is the pyrimidine WZ4002. (source: http://lcins.org/2009/12/egfr-and-wz4002/).        
Biological target:
WZ4002 is an EGFR inhibitor with IC50s of 2, 8, 3 and 2 nM for EGFRL858R, EGFRL858R/T790M, EGFRE746_A750 and EGFRE746_A750/T790M, respectively.
In vitro activity:
The ability of combination treatment with WZ4002 and SAHA to inhibit the proliferation of human NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) cells with an EGFR T790M mutation was investigated. While treatment with WZ4002 alone reduced the viability of PC-9G and H1975 cells in a small amount, combining it with SAHA resulted in significantly decreased cell viability for both cell lines (Fig. 1a, top panel). The combination of SAHA and WZ4002 manifested a synergistic effect on the viability of both PC-9G and H1975 cells in most combination concentrations (Fig. 1a, bottom panel).

In vivo activity:
It was investigated whether combined treatment with SAHA and WZ4002 might show an enhanced anti-tumor effect on xenografts of H1975 cells in vivo. Following tumor formation, nude mice were treated with gefitinib (50 mg/kg), SAHA (25 mg/kg), or WZ4002 (25 mg/kg) alone or together with SAHA for 3 weeks. Monotherapy with gefitinib or WZ4002 resulted in only a marginal decrease in tumor volume, whereas treatment with the combination of WZ4002 and SAHA led to a marked shrinkage of tumor (Fig. 5a).
