TL;DR: PLX4720, a 7-azaindole derivative that inhibits B-RafV600E with an IC50 of 13 nM, defines a class of kinase inhibitor with marked selectivity in both biochemical and cellular assays and represents the entire discovery process from initial identification through structural and biological studies in animal models to a promising therapeutic for testing in cancer patients bearing B- RafV 600E-driven tumors.
