EGFR/tubulin-IN-1

EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 (Compound 26) is a dual-target inhibitor of EGFR and tubulin. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 significantly reduces the levels of p-EGFR, p-AKT, and p-ERK in cells, disrupting the microtubule structure of the cells. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 significantly inhibits the proliferation of H1975 cells and significantly blocks the cells in the G2/M phase. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 induces the expression of autophagy markers LC3B-II and Beclin-1, while down-regulating the expression of p62. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 induces ferroptosis, with increased ROS content and depletion of glutathione (GSH) . EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 inhibits epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor metastasis. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 has a significant tumor-suppressing effect in the H1975 transplanted tumor nude mouse model. EGFR/tubulin-IN-1 can be used for the study of non-small cell lung cancer[1].
