General tips | For obtaining a higher solubility , please warm the tube at 37 ℃ and shake it in the ultrasonic bath for a while.Stock solution can be stored below -20℃ for several months. We recommend that you prepare and use the solution on the same day. However, if the test schedule requires, the stock solutions can be prepared in advance, and the stock solution must be sealed and stored below -20℃. In general, the stock solution can be kept for several months. Before use, we recommend that you leave the vial at room temperature for at least an hour before opening it. |
||
About Packaging | 1. The packaging of the product may be reversed during transportation, cause the high purity compounds to adhere to the neck or cap of the vial.Take the vail out of its packaging and shake gently until the compounds fall to the bottom of the vial. 2. For liquid products, please centrifuge at 500xg to gather the liquid to the bottom of the vial. 3. Try to avoid loss or contamination during the experiment. |

Canertinib dihydrochloride is a selective inhibitor of Pan-erbB tyrosine kinase with IC50 value of 3.5 nM [1].
ErbB receptor family is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily and plays an important role in the normal breast development. It has been shown that ErbB overexpression involves in the pathogenesis and progression of breast cancer and is a negative prognostic indicator for breast cancer [2].
Canertinib dihydrochloride is a potent ErbB inhibitor and has a different selectivity with the reported ErbB inhibitor erlotinib. When tested with BT474 cells overexpressing ErbB2-receptor, treatment with Canertinib dihydrochloride induced cell apoptosis with 47% fraction by inhibiting Akt and MAPK activity [3]. In a panel of neuroblastoma cell lines, treated with Canertinib dihydrochloride resulted in a significant reduction in cell yield with IC50 value ranging from 0.94 μM to 2.45 μM and induced cell apoptosis from 3% to 56% tested with SK-N-SH cells [2].
In 12 week old NOD-SCID-IL2R gamma knockout mouse model with SK-N-SH cells subcutaneous xenograft, administration of Canertinib dihydrochloride for 18 days resulted in a marked reduction in tumor growth and final tumor weight [2].

Early phase I data on an irreversible pan-erb inhibitor: CI-1033. What did we learn?[Pubmed:15688609]
J Chemother. 2004 Nov;16 Suppl 4:44-8.
CI-1033 (Canertinib dihydrochloride) is an orally available pan-erbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that, unlike the majority of receptor inhibitors, effectively blocks signal transduction through all four members of the erbB family. In addition, it blocks the highly tumorigenic, constitutively activated variant of erbB-1, EGFRvIII, and inhibits downstream signaling through both the Ras/ MAP kinase, and PI-3 kinase/AKT pathways (Figure 1). CI-1033 is also unique in that it is an irreversible inhibitor; thereby providing prolonged suppression of erbB receptor-mediated signaling. Preclinical data show CI-1033 to be efficacious against a variety of human tumors in mouse xenograft models, including breast carcinomas.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors. 17. Irreversible inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor: 4-(phenylamino)quinazoline- and 4-(phenylamino)pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-acrylamides bearing additional solubilizing functions.[Pubmed:10753475]
J Med Chem. 2000 Apr 6;43(7):1380-97.
4-Anilinoquinazoline- and 4-anilinopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-acrylamides substituted with solubilizing 7-alkylamine or 7-alkoxyamine side chains were prepared by reaction of the corresponding 6-amines with acrylic acid or acrylic acid anhydrides. In the pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine series, the intermediate 6-amino-7-alkylamines were prepared from 7-bromo-6-fluoropyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine via Stille coupling with the appropriate stannane under palladium(0) catalysis. This proved a versatile method for the introduction of cationic solubilizing side chains. The compounds were evaluated for their inhibition of phosphorylation of the isolated EGFR enzyme and for inhibition of EGF-stimulated autophosphorylation of EGFR in A431 cells and of heregulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of erbB2 in MDA-MB 453 cells. Quinazoline analogues with 7-alkoxyamine solubilizing groups were potent irreversible inhibitors of the isolated EGFR enzyme, with IC(50[app]) values from 2 to 4 nM, and potently inhibited both EGFR and erbB2 autophosphorylation in cells. 7-Alkylamino- and 7-alkoxyaminopyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines were also irreversible inhibitors with equal or superior potency against the isolated enzyme but were less effective in the cellular autophosphorylation assays. Both quinazoline- and pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-acrylamides bound at the ATP site alkylating cysteine 773, as shown by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and had similar rates of absorptive and secretory transport in Caco-2 cells. A comparison of two 7-propoxymorpholide analogues showed that the pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-acrylamide had greater amide instability and higher acrylamide reactivity, being converted to glutathione adducts in cells more rapidly than the corresponding quinazoline. This difference may contribute to the observed lower cellular potency of the pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidine-6-acrylamides. Selected compounds showed high in vivo activity against A431 xenografts on oral dosing, with the quinazolines being superior to the pyrido[3,2-d]pyrimidines. Overall, the quinazolines proved superior to previous analogues in terms of aqueous solubility, potency, and in vivo antitumor activity, and one example (CI 1033) has been selected for clinical evaluation.
