Gefitinib | Iressa | ZD1839 | EGFR Inhibitor (Pan) 62 EGFR Inhibitor 1st gen 3 | Iressa (gefitinib) is a first-generation EGFR inhibitor that binds EGFR and inhibits downstream signaling, potentially resulting in decreased growth of tumors with EGFR activation (PMID: 26980062, PMID: 25302162, PMID: 15284455). Iressa (gefitinib) is FDA approved for use in patients with non-small cell lung cancer harboring an EGFR exon 19 deletion or EGFR L858R (FDA.gov). |
Vemurafenib | Zelboraf | RO5185426|PLX4032 | RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 28 | Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibits BRAF V600E, wild-type BRAF, ARAF, and CRAF (PMID: 20179705), which may result in an inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway resulting in a reduction of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 20823850). Zelboraf (vemurafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma and for BRAF V600-positive Erdheim-Chester disease (FDA.gov). |
