RAF inhibitors transactivate RAF dimers and ERK signalling in cells with wild-type BRAF

TL;DR: Because RAF inhibitors do not inhibit ERK signalling in other cells, the model predicts that they would have a higher therapeutic index and greater antitumour activity than mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors, but could also cause toxicity due to MEK/ERK activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of a selective inhibitor of oncogenic B-Raf kinase with potent antimelanoma activity

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.
