CAS 184475-35-2: Gefitinib
Description:Gefitinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor primarily used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that harbors specific mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Its chemical formula is C22H24ClFN4O3, and it features a complex structure that includes a quinazoline core. Gefitinib works by selectively inhibiting the tyrosine kinase activity of the EGFR, thereby blocking downstream signaling pathways that promote cell proliferation and survival. This mechanism of action makes it particularly effective in tumors with activating mutations in the EGFR gene. Gefitinib is administered orally and is characterized by its moderate solubility in water and its ability to penetrate biological membranes, which is crucial for its therapeutic efficacy. Common side effects associated with gefitinib include skin rash, diarrhea, and liver enzyme elevations. Its pharmacokinetics are influenced by factors such as food intake and liver function, necessitating careful monitoring during treatment. Overall, gefitinib represents a targeted therapy that has significantly improved outcomes for patients with specific types of lung cancer.
