Lung Cancer and T790M

The T790M mutation is a source of resistance to a previously effective drug called Tarceva. One possible use of these new type of drug is to suppress T790M. "CUDC-305 is a heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitor of the novel imidazopyridine class. Here, we report its activities in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines with gene deregulations conferring primary or secondary resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors.

The imidazopyridines are a class of sedative drugs related (in terms of their effect) to benzodiazepines. They include:
