Biological Activity
| ln Vitro | LU0387 (NPH) cells are inhibited by mobocertinib mesylate (1.5 nM-10 μM; 7 days) with an IC50 of 21 nM [1]. More powerful than WT EGFR (A431 (WT)), mobocertinib mesylate (2 h) effectively suppresses EGFR with common activating mutations (HCC827 (D), HCC4011 (L)), or with the T790M mutation (H1975 (LT)) [1]. In CUTO14 (ASV) cells, mobocertinib mesylate (0.1 nM-1 μM; 6 hours) inhibits pEGFR and pERK1/2 [1]. Impeding EGFR and downstream signaling, mobocertinib mesylate (0.3 nM-1 μM; 6 hours) inhibits [1]. H1781 (HER2 exon 20G776>VC) and Ba/F3 (HER2 exon 20YVMA) cells' HER2 signaling is inhibited by mobocertinib mesylate (0.01, 0.1, and 1 μM; 6 hours) [2]. |
| ln Vivo | Tumor growth is significantly inhibited by mobocertinib mesylate (3, 10, 30 mg/kg; oral; once daily for 20 days) [1]. |

Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: CUTO14 (ASV) Cell Tested Concentrations: 0.1 nM-1 μM Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Strong inhibition of EGFR signaling, reaching 80% inhibition of phosphorylated EGFR (pEGFR) at a concentration of 100 and 100% are nM and 1 μM respectively. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: HCC827 (D), HCC4011 (L), H1975 (LT) Cell Tested Concentrations: 0.3 nM-1 μM Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Potently inhibited EGFR and downstream signaling in HCC827 (D), HCC4011 (L) and H1975 (LT) cells. Western Blot Analysis[2] Cell Types: H1781 (HER2 Exon 20G776>VC), Ba/F3 (HER2 exon 20YVMA) cells Tested Concentrations: 0.01, 0.1 and 1 μM Incubation Duration: 6 h Experimental Results: Inhibited HER2 signaling in H1781 and Ba/F3-HER2 exon 20YVMA mutant cells at 0.1 μM with Dramatically diminished phosphorylations of HER2, AKT, and ERK1/2 in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Animal/Disease Models: Female athymic Nude-Foxn1nu mouse (human NSCLC H1975 LT tumor model) [1]. Doses: 3, 10, 30 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral; one time/day for 20 days. Experimental Results: Relative to tumor size in the vehicle group, mean tumor volume was diminished by 44% and 92% at 3 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg, respectively. 30 mg/kg induced 76% tumor regression relative to pre-treatment tumor size. |
