Selumetinib

Key Product Details

Product Description

Selumetinib is a potent and selective MEK inhibitor (IC₅₀ = 14 nM for MEK1, K_d = 530 nM for MEK2). Inhibits ERK1/2 phosphorylation (IC₅₀ = 10 nM). Exhibits no activity at p38α, MKK6, EGFR, ErbB2 and ERK2. Suppresses several cell lines containing B-Raf and Ras mutations, but displays no effect on a normal fibroblast cell lines. Inhibits tumor growth in colorectal tumor xenograft model. Orally bioavailable.
