Approved drug
tucatinib is an approved drug (FDA (2020), EMA (2021))
Compound class: Synthetic organic
Comment: Tucatinib is an orally bioavailable ERBB2 (HER2) receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor that was developed as a novel antineoplastic agent by Seattle Genetics [2]. The chemical structure is claimed as Example 11 in Array Biopharma patent WO2007059257A2 [3], and was exemplified as ARRY-380 in the later patent WO2013056183A1 [1]. Tucatinib contains a quinazoline core that is conserved in other tyrosine kinase inhibitors including lapatinib, erlotinib, and gefitinib [2].
The INN tucatinib replaced the earlier INN irbinitinib that was associated with this chemical entity.

Bioactivity Comments
Lapatinib and neratinib do not exhibit the selectivity for ERBB2 compared to EGFR that tucatinib does [2]. In a biochemical screen of 223 kinases, tucatinib showed selectivity within the EGFR kinase family, and inhibition of other kinases was minimal. Tucatinib inhibits HER2 signalling activity in BT-474 HER2-driven breast cancer cells (receptor phosphorylation; IC50 7 nM) and proliferation of these cells (IC50 33 nM), These effects were less potent in EGFR-driven A431 cells.
