  "definition": "The monohydrochloride salt form of NRC-2694, an orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, EGFR inhibitor NRC-2694 binds to and inhibits EGFR, which prevents EGFR-mediated signaling and leads to cell death in EGFR-expressing tumor cells. EGFR, a receptor tyrosine kinase mutated in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and tumor vascularization.",
