pki166

PKI-166 is an oral inhibitor of EGF-R tyrosine kinase (IC50:0.7 nM) that is both effective and selective. PKI-166 can effectively inhibit the growth and metastasis of various human cancer cells including pancreatic cancer.

Potent EGFR-kinase inhibitor (IC50 = 0.7 nM). Displays >3000-fold selectivity against a panel of serine/threonine kinases. Reduces metastasis and angiogenesis in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Antihypertensive and orally bioavailable.
