Erlotinib | Tarceva | CP358774 | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 EGFR Inhibitor 1st gen 3 | Tarceva (erlotinib) is a first-generation EGFR inhibitor that blocks EGFR signaling, potentially leading to inhibition of tumor growth (PMID: 30069756). Tarceva (erlotinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring EGFR exon 19 deletions and/or EGFR L858R, and in combination with gemcitabine for patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic pancreatic cancer (FDA.gov). |
Pralatrexate | FOLOTYN | Pralatrexate is folate analogue inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase that is selective for cells expressing RFC-1 (which may be overexpressed on cancer cells). Pralatrexate causes depletion of nucleotide precursors; inhibition of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis; and apoptotic tumor cell death (NCI Drug Dictionary). |
