Chemical Structure

Biological activities

AZD6244 is a potent, selective, and ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of MEK1/2 kinases. The IC50 of AZD6244 is 14 nM against purified constitutively active MEK1. The IC50 values against Raf-activated MEK1 and MEK2 are similar. In contrast, AZD6244 prevents HT-29, Malme-3M, and SK-MEL-28 cell lines with IC50 of 175, 59 and 93 nM, respectively.[1] AZD6244 inhibits Colo-205 cells and Calu-6 cells with IC50 of 30 nM and 0.7 µM, respectively.[2] In two-dimensional cell culture, AZD6244 is cytostatic and decreases the growth of melanoma cells in a concentration-dependent fashion through the induction of G1-phase cell cycle arrest.[3] AZD6244 results in growth inhibition, elevation of the cleavage of caspase-3 and caspase-7, and cleaves poly(ADP)ribose polymerase, but inhibition of ERK1/2 and p90RSK phosphorylation in primary HCC cells.[4] AZD6244 inhibits the growth of several cell lines containing B-Raf and Ras mutations but has no effect on a normal fibroblast cell line. When dosed orally, AZD6244 prevents both ERK1/2 phosphorylation and growth of HT-29 xenograft tumors in nude mice, as well as a BxPC3 xenograft model.[1] When dosing is commenced at a mean tumor size of 0.2 cm3, chronic dosing with 25 mg/kg bd AZD6244 completely inhibits growth of Colo-205 tumors. AZD6244 inhibits partial growth of SW-620 xenografts by 73%. AZD6244 causes apoptosis in Colo-205 xenografts. An acute dose of 25 mg/kg AZD6244 results in a reduction in cytoplasmic and nuclear p-ERK in Colo-205 xenografts.[2] AZD6244 downregulates phospho-ERK in the tumors and significantly suppressed tumor growth.[3] AZD6244 results in a dose-dependent inhibition of tumor growth when given p.o. to mice bearing HCC xenografts.[4]

Protocols

In vivo: AZD6244 is dissolved in a methocel/polysorbate buffer.[2]
