Product Description: O-Desmethyl gefitinib (Standard) is the analytical standard of O-Desmethyl gefitinib. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. O-Desmethyl gefitinib is an active metabolite of Gefitinib in human plasma. The formation of O-desmethyl gefitinib is dependent on CYP2D6 activity. O-desmethyl gefitinib inhibits EGFR with an IC50 of 36 nM in subcellular assays[1][2].
Formula: C21H22ClFN4O3
