Abstract:
:The EGFR is one of the most popular targets for anticancer therapies and many drugs, such as erlotinib and gefitinib, have got enormous success in clinical treatments of cancer in past decade. However, the efficacy of these agents is often limited because of the quick emergence of drug resistance. Fundamental structure researches of EGFR in recent years have generally elucidated the mechanism of drug resistance. In this review, based on systematic resolution of full structures of EGFR and their variants via single crystal x-ray crystallography, the working and drug resistance mechanism of EGFR-targeted drugs are fully illustrated. Moreover, new strategies for avoiding EGFR drug resistance in cancer treatments are also discussed.
