Becotatug (powder)
Becotatug (powder) (JMT-101) is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and serves as the antibody component of the antibody-drug conjugate Becotatug vedotin (HY-171265). Becotatug (powder) specifically binds to the extracellular domain of EGFR, induces receptor internalization and degradation, blocks the EGFR signaling pathway, and mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. When conjugated to monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) (HY-15162) via a valine-citrulline cleavable linker, Becotatug (powder) enables targeted delivery of cytotoxic drugs to EGFR-positive tumor cells. Becotatug (powder) can be used for research related to non-small cell lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

In Vitro
Combined treatment with Becotatug (10 μg/mL; 24 h) and 100 nmol/L Afatinib (HY-10261) or Osimertinib (HY-15772) for 24 hours induces EGFR downregulation and endocytosis in EGFR insASV-positive Ba/F3 cells[1].
Becotatug (10 μg/mL; 6 h) alone does not block the EGFR signaling pathway in EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive Ba/F3 cells, but when combined with 100 nmol/L afatinib or osimertinib, it potently inhibits EGFR pathway activation and reduces total EGFR levels in these cell lines[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Line:Ba/F3 cells stably expressing EGFR exon 20 insertions (A767_V769dup/insASV, S768_D770dup/insSVD, N771_H773dup/insNPH)
-
Concentration:1-200 μg/mL (Becotatug alone); 10 μg/mL (Becotatug in combination with afatinib/osimertinib)
-
Incubation Time:72 h
-
Result:Had minimal effect on the viability of all three EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive Ba/F3 cell lines when used alone at concentrations from 1 to 200 μg/mL.
Shifted the dose-response curves of afatinib and osimertinib to the left, demonstrating potent antiproliferative effects when used at 10 μg/mL in combination with the TKIs.
-
Cell Line:EGFR exon 20 insertion-positive Ba/F3 cells (insASV, insSVD, insNPH)
-
Concentration:10 μg/mL (Becotatug alone); 10 μg/mL (Becotatug in combination with 100 nmol/L afatinib or osimertinib)
-
Incubation Time:6 h
-
Result:Did not efficiently block EGFR signaling activation in the three cell lines when used alone at 10 μg/mL.
Strongly inhibited EGFR signaling activation, including phosphorylation of EGFR, AKT, and ERK1/2, and reduced total EGFR levels when used at 10 μg/mL in combination with 100 nmol/L afatinib or osimertinib.

Cell Line:EGFR insASV-positive Ba/F3 cells
-
Concentration:10 μg/mL (Becotatug alone); 10 μg/mL (Becotatug in combination with 100 nmol/L afatinib or osimertinib)
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Exhibited marked downregulation of total EGFR levels and a trend of EGFR internalization when used at 10 μg/mL in combination with 100 nmol/L afatinib or osimertinib, compared with cells treated with afatinib or osimertinib alone.
