Nepidermin (

cicatrizant (a drug that promotes wound healing through formation of scar tissue). As a recombinant form of EGF, nepidermin is an agonist of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and is the first EGFR agonist to be marketed.[3][4] It was developed by Cuban Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (CIBG), and has been marketed by Heber Biotech as an intralesional injection for diabetic foot ulcer under the trade name Heberprot-P since 2006.[5][6] As of 2016, Heberprot-P had been marketed in 23 countries,[7] but remains unavailable in the United States. In 2015, preparations were made to conduct the Phase III trials required for FDA approval,[8][9] however as of 2023 developments in U.S.-Cuba relations
have stymied importation of the drug from Cuba.

Various forms of rhEGF are marketed for the treatment of

alopecia (hair loss) in Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, and China.[1][3][4]

Production

According to Heber Biotech, nepidermin is made by insering the 53-amino acid human EGF sequence into yeast.[10] A 1991 paper from Cuba seems to describe its production in more detail.[11] An improved process was described in 2009.[12]

Other rhEGFs

Several other products containing recombinant human EGF have been marketed. The potencies of these products can differ by the expression system used, despite all intending to match the structure of human EGF.[13]

Instead of measuring by mass, the international unit system from the World Health Organization provides a way to describe the potency-adjusted amount of rhEGF.[14][15] However, the WHO does not prescribe a specific way of measuring the potency. rhEGF bioassay remains a field in active development.[16]

Easyef

A topical spray formulation has been developed under the brand Easyef by

Daewoong Pharmaceutical.[1][3][4]

A

Daewoong-funded Phase II study evaluating nepidermin oral spray for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis did not reduce incidence or duration of moderate or severe oral mucositis, however per-protocol analysis suggested nepidermin oral spray might reduce pain associated with oral mucositis.[17]

Easyef is made by expression in E. coli. It appears to be less potent than an equivalent concentration of Heberprot in zebrafish.[13]
