| In vitro | RDEA119 is selectively bound directly to an allosteric pocket in the MEK1/2 enzymes, and highly efficacious at inhibiting cell proliferation in several tumor cell lines, including A375, SK-MEI-28, Colo205, HT-29 and BxPC3. RDEA119 inhibits anchorage-dependent growth of human cancer cell lines harboring the gain-of-function V600E BRAF mutant with GI50 values ranging from 67 to 89 nM. Under anchorage-independent conditions, GI50 values for all cell lines tested are similar (40-84 nM). RDEA119 shows a tissue selectivity that reduces its potential for central nervous system–related side effects. [1] RDEA119 potently inhibits the proliferation of the 4 cell lines that harbored BRAF mutation but has no or modest effects on the other 4 cells that harbored wild-type BRAF (IC50 of 0.034-0.217 μM vs. 1.413-34.120 μM). This inhibitory effect of RDEA119 in selected cell lines OCUT1 (BRAF V600E(+), PIK3CA H1047R(+)) and SW1376 (BRAF V600E(+)) is enhanced by combination with the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus. RDEA119 and temsirolimus also show synergistic effects on autophagic death of OCUT1 and KAT18 cells selectively tested. [2] |
