Encorafenib

SKU: orb1222780

Description

Encorafenib, also known as LGX-818, is an orally available Raf kinase inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. LGX818 specifically inhibits Raf kinase, a serine/threonine enzyme in the RAF/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) signaling pathway. By inhibiting the activation of the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, the administration of LGX818 may result in a decrease in proliferation of tumor cells.(In Vitro):Encorafenib (LGX818) is a potent drug that can prevents diseases or disorders associated with abnormal or deregulated kinase activity, particularly diseases or disorders that involve abnormal activation of B-Raf. Encorafenib (LGX818) (10 nM) suppresses the ERK/MAPK pathway and displays marked inhibition of pERK in A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells. 10 nM Encorafenib (LGX818) treatment for 12 days potently inhibits colony formation in A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells, but not in RPMI7951 and C8161 cells. Encorafenib (LGX818) treatment induces a steady increase in the β-catenin level in G361 cells over time.
