Theliatinib (Xiliertinib) is a potent, ATP-competitive, orally active and highly selective EGFR inhibitor with a Ki of 0.05 nM and an IC50 of 3 nM. Theliatinib has an IC50 of 22 nM for EGFR T790M/L858R mutant. Theliatinib shows >50-fold selectivity for EGFR than other kinases[1]. Theliatinib is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Alkyne group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAc) with molecules containing Azide groups.
Theliatinib (HMPL-309) is a potent EGFR inhibitor with a Ki value of 0.05 nM for EGFR and IC50 values of 3 nM and 22 nM for EGFR and EGFR T790M/L858R mutant, respectively. It is more than 50-fold selective for EGFR over 72 other kinases.
Compared with erlotinib or gefitnib, theliatinib has stronger binding affinity to wild-type EGFR and is more difficult to be replaced by ATP, which makes theliatinib have better target binding effect, and the EGFR-activated tumors have stronger antitumor activity.
Theliatinib has concentration-dependent antitumor activity in a series of patient-derived esophageal cancer xenograft models. But aberrant activation or genetic mutation of other targets such as PI3K and FGFR attenuates the antitumor activity of EGFR inhibitors, especially theliatinib.
