Tarloxotinib bromide (formerly TH-4000; PR-610) is a novel quarternary amine-based and irreversible EGFR/HER2 inhibitor designed as a prodrug to selectively release a covalent (irreversible (covalent)) EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor under severe hypoxia, a feature of many solid tumors. Tarloxotinib may be able to reduce or eliminate the systemic side effects of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors that are currently on the market by effectively blocking aberrant EGFR signaling in a tumor-specific manner.

Solubility Data
| Solubility (In Vitro) | DMSO: ≥ 33 mg/mL (~48.4 mM) |
| Solubility (In Vivo) |
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (3.67 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution. 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 (3.67 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.

Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
