 The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
belongs to the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine
kinases (RTK)
 These trans-membrane proteins are activated
following binding with peptide growth factors
of the EGF-family of proteins
 Binding of the protein to a ligand induces
receptor dimerization and tyrosine
autophosphorylation and leads to cell proliferation
 Amplification of the EGFR gene and mutations
of the EGFR tyrosine kinase domain have been
demonstrated to occur in cancer patients.

Scope of Breast Cancer
- Most common cancer (31%) in
women.
- Incidence  110/10K people
- Life time risk is 13.48% (1 in 7)
- 0.6% of all cases are in men
 EGFR overexpression in breast cancer is associated with large tumor size, poor
differentiation, and poor clinical outcomes.
 Treatment of patients with high EGFR level has been challenging not only because of
the aggressive behaviour of these diseases but also because of the lack of established
clinically relevant treatment targets.
 The role of EGFR in breast cancer has been scrutinized, and several therapies that target
EGFR, including gefitinib, cetuximab, lapatinib, and others, have been developed.
 However, results of clinical studies of EGFR-targeted therapy in breast cancer have been
disappointing.

In summary 
 Indole Derivative DPDIM Inhibits Proliferation and Survival of Cancer Cells.
 DPDIM is a Non-cytotoxic Compound.
 Regulation of EGFR Pathway by DPDIM Leads to Mitochondrial Cyt c Release
in Breast Cancer Cells.
 DPDIM Induces apoptosis Through Activation of the Mitochondrial
Caspase Cascade.
 DPDIM Inhibits Growth and Induces Apoptosis in DMBA Induced
Breast Tumors also.
 Thus, DPDIM emerges as a promising anti-cancer agent showing high efficacy in
breast cancer cells and the breast tumor model
Scope of Brain Cancer
- Incidence of primary brain tumors
(benign or malignant) 12.8/100,000
- 10%15% of cancer patients develop
brain metastases
- Brain cancer is associated with high
mortality rate
- Glioma is the most common type of
brain cancer
- Overall survival rate for patients with
high grade glioma remains lowaround
8%
- Till date, malignant glioma has no
