Neratinib Maleate is the maleate salt form of Neratinib. Neratinib is a quinoline derivative. It acts as a tyrosine kinase inhibitor and has anticancer properties. Neratinib has shown benefit for HER2 positive breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.
| Mechanism of Action | Neratinib is a dual inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinases with similar potency, and the inhibition is irreversible. It targets a cystine residue in the ATP binding pocket of the receptor. It can induce cell cycle arrest and decrease cell proliferation. The inhibition is irreversible. |
| Molecular Formula | C30H29ClN6O3 • C4H4O4 |
| Solubility | DMSO with warming; very poorly soluble in ethanol; very poorly soluble in water |
