A tyrphostin EGFR inhibitor
AG 555 is a potent and selective inhibitor of EGFR with IC50 value of 0.7 μM.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the cell-surface receptor for epidermal growth factor and plays an important role in tumor invasion and cancer cell proliferation.
AG 555 is a potent and selective EGFR inhibitor. In HPV16-immortalized human keratinocytes, AG 555 inhibited the activation of Cdk2 and induced growth arrest at the G1 phase accompanied by 15-20% cell apoptosis [1]. AG556 arrested cells at G1/S phase by 85% and inhibited the activation of Cdk2 by phosphorylating tyrosine 15 on Cdk2 [2]. In A-498, Caki-1 and Caki-2 renal carcinoma cell lines and RT4, J82 and T24 transitional carcinoma cell lines, AG555 inhibited cell proliferation with IC50 values ranging from 3 to 16 μM in a dose-dependent way. AG555 (10-30 μM) completely inhibited cell growth [3]. In NIH/3T3 cells infected with Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV), AG-555 inhibited the viral DNA integrated into the host genome in acutely infected cells. While in chronically infected cells, AG-555 decreased the level of viral RNA and inhibited viral protein synthesis [4].

Cell experiment: | ID13 mouse fibroblasts are maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) fetal calf serum, 100 units/mL Penicillin, and 100 μg/mL Streptomycin. Cells are seeded at 2.5×104 cells/cm2 to ensure logarithmic growth. The final concentration of the Tyrphostin AG 555 is 30 μM in all experiments. Stock solutions of 10 mM in Me2SO are stored at -80°C. To exclude potential Me2SO effects, the same final concentrations (0.3%) of Me2SO are added to nontreated controls. Actinomycin D is dissolved in water and added to cells in a final concentration of 5 μg/mL. SB 203580 is dissolved in Me2SO (stock concentration: 50 mM) and used in a final concentration of 10 μM[2]. |
