Afatinib is used to treat non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSCLC), and its mechanism involves irreversible inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase. In this study, we examined if afatinib had cytotoxic action against NSCLC other than inhibition of tyrosine kinase. Afatinib (1-30 μM) caused apoptotic death in A549 NSCLC in a concentration-dependent manner. Afatinib triggered Ca2+...
