Biological Activity:
An irreversible inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase with potential antineoplastic activity. Pelitinib irreversibly binds covalently to EGFR ErbB-1, -2 and -4, thereby inhibiting receptor phosphorylation and signal transduction and resulting in apoptosis and suppression of proliferation in tumor cells that overexpress these receptors.
