Background:

LGX818 is a potent and selective inhibitor of RAF kinase with EC50 value of 3nM in A375 cells [1].

The V600E mutation of B-Raf in the kinase domain results in constitutive activation of B-Raf and promotes cancer development. LGX818 is a RAF kinase inhibitor targeting V600E mutant B-Raf. It has little effect against wild-type BRAF. LGX818 has selective anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity ion in cells expressing BRAFV600E. It shows no significant activity against a panel of 100 kinases and no suppression of cell growth with more than 400 cell lines expressing BRAFV600E. In the A375 human melanoma cell line, LGX818 inhibits the phospho-ERK with EC50 value of 3nM and causes subsequent cell proliferation inhibition with EC50 value of 4nM. In human melanoma xenograft models, oral administration of LGX818 shows strong decrease in phospho-MEK and induces tumor regression [1, 2].
