Pelitini has much greater inhibitory activity against the EGFR kinase than against Src, MEK/ERK, Cdk4, c-Met, Raf and ErbB2, for example, the IC50 for EGFR is 32-fold lower than the IC50 for the closely related ErbB2. Pelitinib results in a dramatic reduction in EGFR phosphorylation but no change in the total amount of EGFR protein. It requires at least 10-fold more drug to equivalently inhibit ErbB2 phosphorylation in similar assays, and EKB-569 does not block phosphorylation of another receptor tyrosine kinase (c-Met) assessed in the same manner[1].
EKB-569 is a potent inhibitor of proliferation in NHEK, A431, and MDA-468 cells (IC50=61, 125, and 260 nM, respectively) but not MCF-7 cells (IC50=3600 nM). EKB-569 is also a potent inhibitor of EGF-induced phosphorylated EGF-R (pEGF-R) in A431 and NHEK cells (IC50=20-80 nM)[1].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: 2.5 mg/mL (5.34 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
For experiments using cells in culture, A431 cells or 3T3/c-erbB-2 cells over-expressing c-erbB2 are are treated with various concentrations of EKB-569 for 2.75 h before co-incubation with 100 ng/mL EGF (A431 cells) or no growth factor (3T3/c-erbB-2 cells) for 0.25 h. Cells are ished twice with cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) before adding to lysis buffer for 20 min on ice, before immunoprecipitation and SDS–PAGE-immunoblotting[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice: For in vivo experiments, athymic nu/nu female mice are implanted subcutaneously with 5×106 A431 tumor cells. When tumors reach a mass of 200-300 mg, animals are treated with a single dose of 10 mg/kg EKB-569 in pH 2.0 water per gavage. Tumors from control and drug-treated animals are excised and minced into 1-mm pieces for anlysis[1].
