Gefitinib, but Not Erlotinib, is a Possible Inducer of Fra-1-mediated Interstitial Lung Disease

Abstract: Gefitinib is an anticancer drug developed to inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Two structurally-related EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gefitinib (Iressa) and erlotinib (Tarceva), are used as oral chemotherapy by patients with non-small-cell lung cancer. Immediately after introduction of gefitinib to clinical practice, interstitial lung disease was identified as a life-threatening adverse effect, although this condition can be well managed. It is still unclea… Show more

“…20 Off-target effect of gefitinib causing lung injury by Fra-1-related pathway is not shared by erlotinib, despite being the same class of drug. 21 As a result, erlotinib can be used in patients with gefitinib-induced lung injury, as was done successfully in our case. 22,23 TBLB can establish the pathology in focal and diffuse parenchymal lung diseases as was seen in our cases.…”

“…The utility of these inhibitors as tools to study the biology of GAK is severely limited. Notably, it has been proposed that GAK inhibition causes clinical toxicity due to pulmonary alveolar dysfunction, but this controversial hypothesis has not been addressed with a selective small molecule GAK inhibitor [16] .…”

“…These drugs were designed as inhibitors of EGFR, and their utility as tools to study the biology of GAK is severely limited. Notably, it has been proposed that GAK inhibition causes clinical toxicity due to pulmonary alveolar dysfunction, but this controversial hypothesis has not been addressed with a selective small molecule GAK inhibitor (Tabara, Naito et al 2011, Takada and Matsuo 2012).…”
