Potential impact of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on glycemic control and diabetes mellitus progression: a clinical appraisal. (PubMed, J Diabetes Metab Disord)
Most of these hypoglycemic effects were observed during the clinical use of imatinib, dasatinib, erlotinib, and sunitinib in cancer patients with diagnosis of DM. The use of these antineoplastic agents in patients with DM and a diagnosis of cancer shows that these agents have the ability to lower blood glucose, which can be associated with tapering down or discontinuing the use of anti-diabetic treatment. The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40200-025-01811-5.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of quinazoline-benzohydrazide and quinazoline-benzothiazole hybrids uncovering a dual EGFR/VEGFR-2 inhibitor with pronounced cytotoxic activity against triple-negative breast Cancer. (PubMed, Bioorg Med Chem)
Among the tested compounds, 7a demonstrated the most potent activity, with IC₅₀ values ranging from 3.98 to 9.67 μM, comparable with doxorubicin...It also markedly inhibited EGFR and VEGFR-2 with IC₅₀ values of 1.67 and 6.72 μM, compared to Erlotinib and Sorafenib, respectively...Molecular docking studies confirmed the strong binding affinity of 7a within the active sites of both EGFR and VEGFR-2, supporting its proposed mechanism of action. These findings position compound 7a as a promising lead for further development as a dual EGFR/VEGFR-2-targeting anticancer agent, particularly for aggressive cancers such as TNBC.

Identification of 2 Ubiquitin-Proteasome System-Related Subtypes in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma for Prognostic and Immunotherapeutic Response Prediction. (PubMed, J Immunother)
Selumetinib, entinostat, and erlotinib were identified as candidate drugs for cluster 2, whereas tozasertib, alpelisib, and cediranib showed higher suitability for cluster 1. Ten potential biomarkers, 13 transcription factors, and 2 miRNAs were characterized. This study elucidates the role of UPS in ESCC progression and provides a framework for personalized treatment strategies.

Design, synthesis, and characterization of novel 5-ethylsulfonyl-indazole-3-carboxamides as dual VEGFR-2 and EGFR inhibitors: apoptotic antiproliferative and immunomodulatory evaluations. (PubMed, RSC Adv)
Compounds 8g and 8h reduced TNF-α and IL-6 levels compared to dexamethasone. Additionally, SwissADME profiling demonstrated acceptable drug-likeness, moderate solubility, and a low CYP-inhibition profile, suggesting favorable pharmacokinetics compared to the reference inhibitor erlotinib. These integrated computational findings align with experimental data on antiproliferative effects and kinase inhibition, reinforcing compound 8h as a promising dual-target anticancer candidate.

Design, synthesis, and structural elucidation of ethyl 2-amino-5-oxo-4-aryl-4H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinoline-3-carboxylates as dual EGFR/HER-2 inhibitors endowed with antiproliferative activity. (PubMed, RSC Med Chem)
Compounds 3a and 3f had the highest antiproliferative efficacy, especially against HT-29 colon cancer cells (IC50 = 23 and 25 nM, respectively), surpassing erlotinib (IC50 = 30 nM)...The compound showed strong binding affinities, forming critical hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with key active-site residues. Additionally, SwissADME analysis of 3a revealed full compliance with major drug-likeness filters, highlighting its potential as an orally available, dual EGFR/HER-2 inhibitor with favorable pharmacokinetic properties.

Fused thiophene - benzimidazole conjugates targeting EGFR: Design, synthesis, anticancer evaluation and their mechanistic insights. (PubMed, Eur J Med Chem)
Furthermore, Western blot analysis revealed that both compounds significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of the EGFR (pEGFR) and also upregulated the expression of LC3B-II (a key marker of autophagy) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27, suggesting that activation of autophagy and cell cycle arrest occurred, respectively, thereby inhibiting EGFR phosphorylation and activating downstream cellular responses similar to those of Erlotinib...In silico ADME profiling further highlighted favourable pharmacokinetic properties, reinforcing the potential of 4d and 6d as promising lead candidates. Collectively, these results establish fused thiophene-benzimidazole hybrids as selective EGFR-targeted anticancer agents with strong therapeutic promise.

ABCB1 and ABCC10 polymorphisms predict sensitivity to first- and third-generation EGFR-TKIs in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. (PubMed, Invest New Drugs)
To assess clinical relevance, blood samples from 109 gefitinib/erlotinib- and 54 osimertinib-treated patients were analyzed for these SNPs. These findings suggest that ABC transporter SNPs could be valuable biomarkers for personalized medicine in NSCLC. These findings suggest that ABC transporter SNPs may serve as valuable biomarkers for predicting EGFR-TKI efficacy in NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations, which will contribute to personalized medicine.

The docking protocol was validated by redocking (RMSD = 0.98 Å), and erlotinib (-8.96 kcal/mol) reproduced known interactions with ASP855, ALA859, and PHE723...In conclusion, PLA-EO exhibits selective cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells via ER stress pathways, supported by in silico evidence of EGFR targeting. The combined phytochemical, cellular, and docking results highlight P. loeflingii as a promising source of bioactive essential oils, warranting further in vivo validation.
