Description
AZD-8931 is an inhibitor of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 that exhibits anticancer chemotherapeutic activity. In vitro and in vivo, AZD-8931 suppresses growth of inflammatory breast cancer cells and tumors and induces apoptosis. This compound also inhibits growth in cellular models of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and squamous cell carcinoma.
