Lazertinib (GNS-1480) is an effective, highly mutant-selective and irreversible EGFR-TKI with IC50 values of 1.7 nM, 2 nM, 5 nM, 20.6 nM and 76 nM for Del19/T790M, L858R/T790M, Del19, L85R and Wild type EGFR respectively.

EGFR (WT):76 nM, L85R:20.6 nM, Del19/T790M:1.7 nM, EGFR (L858R/T790M):2 nM, Del19:5 nM

In NSCLC cell lines and primary cancer cells from patients harbouring EGFR mutations, YH25448 more potently inhibits cancer cell growth and significantly increases tumour cell apoptosis compared to osimertinib[1]. In the cell proliferation assays, GI50 values of Lazertinib are 6 nM, 5 nM, and 711 nM for H1975 cells (L858R/T790M), PC9 cells (del19) and H2073 cells (wt), respectively.

In an in vivo mouse model implanted with H1975 cells, once-daily Lazertinib treatment results in dramatic dose-dependent tumour regression in both subcutaneous and intracranial lesions with no abnormal signs such as skin keratosis. The plasma half-life of Lazertinib is 5.9-6.8 hr, while a tumour to plasma AUC0-last ratio is 3.0-5.1 in tumour-bearing mice. Lazertinib shows excellent penetration of the blood-brain barrier, achieving CSF concentrations exceeding the IC50 value for pEGFR inhibition. Lazertinib shows superior efficacy for tumour regression in an EGFR mutant brain metastasis model[1].

Concentrations: 5, 10, 100 nM. Ba/F3 cells overexpressing the indicated EGFR mutant are treated with YH25448 or osimertinib for 6 hours at the indicated concentrations. pEGFR levels are detected by Western blot analysis.
