Description:	RG13022 is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor; inhibits the autophosphorylation reaction of the EGF receptor with an IC50 of 4 μM.
Target:	IC50: 4 μM (EGF receptor autophosphorylation)[1]
In Vivo:	RG13022 suppresses tumor growth in nude mice. RG13022 also increases the life span of these tumor-bearing nude mice[1].
In Vitro:	RG13022 suppresses EGF-stimulated cancer cell proliferation. In a cell-free reaction RG13022 inhibits the autophosphorylation reaction of the EGF receptor in immunoprecipitates with an IC50 of 4 μM. RG13022 inhibits colony formation and DNA synthesis by HER 14 cells, which were stimulated by 50 ng/mL EGF, in a dose-dependent manner. The IC50s are 1 and 3 μM for HER 14 colony formation and DNA synthesis, respectively[1]. RG-13022 inhibits not only EGF-induced growth but also growth stimulated by insulin, insulin-like growth factor I, insulin-like growth factor II, or transforming growth factor alpha. RG-13022 also totally blocks estrogen-stimulated phosphorylation of the EGF receptor, as well as estrogen-induced cell proliferation, suggesting that functioning TK pathways are required for estrogen action[2].
Cell Assay:	40 mM stock solutions of RG13022 is made in 100% DMSO and diluted with the culture medium before addition to the cells. MH-85 cells and HER 14 cells are plated in culture medium in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations of RG-13022 or RG-14620 for 10 days. At the end of culture, the cells are fixed with 4% (v/v) formaldehyde and stained with hematoxylin. Numbers of colonies including more than 20 cells in each well are counted under the microscope[1].
Animal Administration:	Mice: MH-85 tumors 5 mm in diameter are inoculated s.c. into the right dorsal portion of 4- to 6-week-old male BALB/c nu/nu mice. RG-13022 or RG-14620 in 0.1 ml 100% DMSO is injected i.p. twice a day from 1day after MH-85 tumor inoculation. Control animals are given the same vehicle. Tumor sizes are measured once a week under anesthesia with nembutal (0.05 mg/g body weight, i.p.) and calculated[1].
