Abstrakt: This paper describes the development of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor ZD1839 from a lead series of 4-anilinoquinazoline compounds. ZD1839 has suitable properties for use as a clinically effective drug and shows activity against human tumours. In particular, the use of pharmacokinetic data in the development of ZD1839 is discussed.
