ALW-II-41-27 is a potent Eph receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor with IC50 of 11 nM for Eph2. Tumor growth in vivo was inhibited by ALW-II-41-27'sinhibitionof EPHA2, which also reduced the survival and proliferation of erlotinib-resistant tumor cells. The viability of cells that had developed resistance to the third-generation EGFR TKI AZD9291 was likewise effectively decreased by ALW-II-41-27. All of these findings point to an involvement of EPHA2 in the preservation of cell survival in EGFR-mutant, TKI-resistant lung cancer and suggest that EPHA2 might be a valuable target for therapeutic intervention in these tumors.

Biological Activity
| Targets | EphA2 (Kd = 12 nM) |
| ln Vitro | ALW-II-41-27 inhibits Ba/F3 cells transformed with Tel fusions of EphA3, Kit, Fms, KDR, FLT1, FGR, Src, Lyn, Bmx, and Bcr-Abl with an EC50 below 500 nM. Bcr-Abl and ALW-II-41-27 show cross-reactivity. Inhibiting b-raf, CSF1R, DDR1, DDR2, EphA2, EphA5, EphA8, EphB1, EphB2, EphB3, Frk, Kit, Lck, p38α, p38β, PDGFRα, PDGFRβ, Raf1, and numerous other kinases, ALW-II-41-27 shows how the addition of a thiophene group can significantly affect kinase selectivity[1]. |
| Cell Assay | In order to ascertain the function of EPHA2, myogenic precursors were exposed to ALW-II-41-27 (0.5 μM) for a duration of 12 hours in GM, after which they underwent myogenic differentiation. |

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Solubility in Formulation 2: 2.5 mg/mL (4.11 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), suspension solution; with ultrasonication.
