EGFR Mutant-selective Inhibitor PLB1004
nci_thesaurus_definition
An orally bioavailable, mono-anilino-pyrimidine, mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, EGFR mutant-selective inhibitor PLB1004 targets, binds to and irreversibly inhibits the activity of various EGFR mutations, including exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) activating mutations, the gatekeeper mutation T790M, ExDel19, and L858R. This prevents EGFR-mediated signaling, induces cell death and inhibits tumor growth in tumor cells expressing these EGFR mutations. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase mutated in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Oral, irreversible EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor that selectively targets mutant EGFR—especially exon 20 insertion variants (also T790M, Ex19del, L858R)—to block EGFR phosphorylation and downstream MAPK/ERK and PI3K–AKT signaling, leading to tumor cell growth inhibition and death.
