Afatinib is an irreversible inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ErbB2 (IC50s = 0.5 and 14 nM, respectively). It increases the cytotoxicity of adriamycin in a concentration-dependent manner in multidrug-resistant A549T lung cancer cells overexpressing P-glycoprotein. Afatinib (20 mg/kg) reduces...
