Pyrotinib dimaleate (SHR-1258 dimaleate)

Cell experiment:

Cancer cells (A431, SK-BR-3 and NCI-N87) are treated at a suitable concentration of Pyrotinib for 72 hours. Cell proliferation is determined by a sulforhodamine B (SRB) method. The IC50 values are calculated by the data of inhibition rates of serial concentrations of Pyrotinib dimaleate[1].

Animal experiment:

Rats[1] Sprague Dawley (SD) rats (200-250g, 3 males and 3 females) are used .Test compounds (include Pyrotinib dimaleate) are administrated in both intravenous ( i.v. ; 3 mg/kg) and intragastric ( i.g. ;3 mg/kg) for rats to obtain their bioavailability. Plasma samples of nude mice is collected at pre-dose and 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24 h after the IV administration [1].Mice[1]: In vivo efficacy studies are performed on BALB/Ca-nude mice (6 to 7 weeks, female) from SLAC. Nude mice are hypodermic inoculated BT-474 human breast cancer cell or SK-OV-3 ovarian cancer cell. After tumor grows to 150-250 mm3, mice are randomly divided into groups and dosed with Pyrotinib (2.5, 5, 10, 20 mg/kg) once daily. The volume of tumors and the weight of the mice are measured and recorded for 2-3 times per weeks[1].
