PD153035 nitrate

PD153035 is a ATP-competitive EGFR inhibitor with an IC50 and Ki of 25 and 6 pM. PD153035 effectively blocks the enhancement of mitogenesis, induction of early gene expression, and oncogenic transformation that occur in response to EGF receptor stimulation. With human fibroblasts and epidermoid carcinoma cells, PD153035 at nanomolar concentrations rapidly inhibits EGFR autophosphorylation. With breast and ovarian cancer cells, PD153035 not only blocks cell growth via inhibition of EGFR, but also upregulates the expression of the tumor suppressor retinoic acid receptor-beta 2 (RAR-beta2) .
