Biological Activity:
CP-358,774 inhibits the proliferation of DiFi human colon tumor cells at submicromolar concentrations in cell culture and blocks cell cycle progression at the G1 phase. This inhibitor produces a marked accumulation of retinoblastoma protein in its underphosphorylated form and accumulation of p27KIP1 in DiFi cells, which may contribute to the cell cycle block . Erlotinib increased NOX4 mRNA and protein expression by increasing its promoter activity and mRNA stability in FaDu cells in vitro. At doses of 100 mg/kg, CP-358,774 completely prevents EGF-induced autophosphorylation of EGFR in human HN5 tumors growing as xenografts in athymic mice and of the hepatic EGFR of the treated mice [1]. Erlotinib had no single agent antitumor activity, raised serum-VEGF levels, and lacked a synergistic effect in combination with sorafenib in vivo.
