Description

Neratinib is a potent irreversible inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor and human epidermal receptor 2 with IC50 of 92 nM and 59 nM, respectively. Neratinib inhibits the proliferation of EGFR-dependent A431 cells with an IC50 of 81 nM. Neratinib (HKI-272) also weakly inhibits tyrosine kinases KDR and Src with IC50 of 0.8 μM and 1.4 μM, respectively. Likewise, Neratinib inhibited the photolabeling of ABCB1 with [(125)I]iodoarylazidoprazosin in a concentration-dependent manner (IC50 = 0.24 μM). Neratinib enhanced the sensitivity of ABCB1-overexpressing cells to ABCB1 substrates. It is noteworthy that Neratinib augmented the effect of chemotherapeutic agents in inhibiting the growth of ABCB1-overexpressing primary leukemia blasts and KBv200 cell xenografts in nude mice. Moreover, Neratinib increased doxorubicin accumulation in ABCB1-overexpressing cell lines and Rhodamine 123 accumulation in ABCB1-overexpressing cell lines and primary leukemia blasts. Neratinib (HKI-272) stimulated the ATPase activity of ABCB1 at low concentrations but inhibited it at high concentrations.
