Product Description
Lapatinib, also known as GW572016 or GSK 572016, is a yellow crystalline solid and a small-molecule targeted antineoplastic agent of the 4-anilinoquinazoline kinase inhibitor class. It selectively inhibits the intracellular tyrosine kinase domains of ERBB1 (EGFR) and HER2/neu (ERBB2) receptors.
Uses
It is mainly used in the treatment of advanced or metastatic breast cancer, usually in combination with capecitabine or letrozole. Its targeted anti-tumor effect is achieved by inhibiting the activity of ERBB1 and HER2/neu receptors.
Molecular Formula & Structure
- Molecular Formula: C??H??ClFN?O?S
- Molecular Weight: Approximately 581.1 g/mol
Physical & Chemical Properties
- Appearance: Yellow crystalline solid, no visible impurities.
- Key Properties: Slightly soluble in water and dilute hydrochloric acid at room temperature; stable under proper storage conditions; incompatible with strong oxidants; melting point is approximately 210-212 °C (decomposition); boiling point is not publicly reported in detail due to its decomposition at high temperatures; has strong affinity for ERBB1 and HER2 receptors with long dissociation half-life.
- Toxicity: May cause mild adverse reactions such as hepatotoxicity, diarrhea and rash; potential embryo-fetal toxicity.
Synthesis & Storage
- Synthesis: Prepared via multi-step chemical reactions, suitable for industrial production.
- Storage: Sealed, stored in a cool, dry and dark place; avoid moisture and oxidants.
