When non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR gene mutation are facing the dilemma of drug resistance, a “third-generation targeted drug” called ositinib mesylate is quietly rewriting the treatment landscape.
Today, we will bring you an in-depth exploration of the scientific code behind this innovative drug, which is known as the “lung cancer nemesis”.
You may have heard of it under the trade name “Teresa”, an oral targeted drug developed by AstraZeneca and specifically designed to overcome the EGFR T790M resistance mutation. As the benchmark of third-generation EGFR-TKI, it not only accurately combats cancer cells, but also has the “super power” of penetrating the blood-brain barrier, allowing patients with brain metastases to regain their lives.
The savior of drug-resistant patients: when the first/second generation of targeted drugs fail, T790M mutation exists in 79% of cases, which is exactly the main target of ocitinib.
A new standard of care for first-line treatment: New research shows that initial treatment can extend median progression-free survival to a staggering 18.9 months
Brain metastasis: its unique molecular structure makes its concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 15 times higher than that in blood, rewriting the survival outcome of patients with brain metastasis.
Second, unveiling the anti-cancer black science and technology: how it is precisely guided?
Imagine how this “smart missile” works:
Precise identification: locking the C797 site of EGFR kinase structural domain through acrylamide group.
Permanent Sequestration: Forms covalent bonds to irreversibly inhibit the activity of the T790M mutant.
Intelligent barrier avoidance: only 1/10th of the effect on wild-type EGFR of the first-generation drugs, dramatically reducing side effects such as skin rashes
Double mutation strike: simultaneous inhibition of sensitive mutations (e.g. exon 19 deletion) and drug-resistant mutations
Metabolic upgrade: active metabolite AZ5104 maintains long-lasting efficacy.
Brain penetration: special lipophilic design breaks through the blood-brain barrier.
The ultimate pursuit of production process
In the clean room of a GMP factory in Tianming, engineers are tackling key processes:
Crystallization control: the crystalline purity of methane sulfonate has a direct impact on bioavailability and requires precise control of temperature and humidity profiles.
Chiral purification: the ee value of the key intermediate (R)-3-amino-4-(2-cyanobenzyl)cyclohexane must be >99.9%.
Impurity profile control: 15 potential genotoxic impurities are monitored by UPLC-QTOF.
