Bioactivity | Gefitinib impurity 2 is the impurity of Gefitinib. Gefitinib (ZD1839; HY-50895) is a potent, selective and orally active EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor with an IC50 of 33 nM. Gefitinib selectively inhibits EGF-stimulated tumor cell growth (IC50 of 54 nM) and that blocks EGF-stimulated EGFR autophosphorylation in tumor cells. Gefitinib also induces autophagy. Gefitinib has antitumour activity[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
