Chemical Structure

Biological activities

PLX-4032 is a potent small-molecule B-Raf inhibitor for the potential treatment of malignant melanoma. PLX-4032 inhibits B-RaFV600E with an IC50 of 30 nM. PLX-4032 possesses 3-fold selectivity for the V600E mutation over the wild-type kinase. [1] PLX-4032 inhibits the activity of B-Raf with an IC50 of 100 nM. In addition, PLX-4032 also prevents C-Raf. The IC50 of PLX-4032 against C-Raf is 48 nM. In contrast, PLX-4032 blocks SRMS (src-related kinase lacking C-terminal regulatory tyrosine and N-terminal myristylation sites), ACK1 (activated cdc42-associated kinase), MAP4K5 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase 5) and FGR with IC50 of 18, 19, 51 and 63 nM, respectively. [2] PLX-4032 inhibits the growth of B-RaFV600E-positive melanoma cell lines both in vitro and in vivo. PLX-4032 potently inhibits proliferation and mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) kinase and ERK phosphorylation in a panel of tumor cell lines, including melanoma cell lines expressing B-RaFV600E or other mutant B-Raf proteins altered at codon 600. In contrast, PLX-4032 lacks activity in cell lines that express wild-type B-Raf or non-V600 mutations. PLX-4032 treatment gives rise to partial or complete tumor regressions and improved animal survival, in a dose-dependent manner. PLX-4032 also potently inhibits proliferation of melanoma cell lines expressing other codon 600 B-Raf mutations (V600D, V600K, and V600R). In addition, proliferation of the WM1789 melanoma cell line expressing B-RafK601E is moderately inhibited by PLX-4032. PLX-4032 inhibits the phosphorylation of MEK and ERK in the two representative B-RaFV600E-expressing melanoma cell lines, Colo829 and LOX. PLX-4032 also blocks MEK and ERK phosphorylation in the WM2664 and WM1341D cell lines, which expresses B-RafV600D and B-RafV600R, respectively. [1] PLX-4032 inhibits A375 cells, ARO cells, and NPA cells with IC50 values of 47, 205 and 126 nM, respectively. PLX4032 inhibits TPCI cells with an IC50 of 10.77 μM. [3] PLX-4032 not only increases the rate of proliferation of growth factor-dependent NRAS Q61L mutant primary melanoma cells but also reduces cell adherence and increases mobility of cells from advanced lesions. [4] PLX-4032 significantly inhibits tumor growth and induces tumor regression. PLX-4032 significantly increases survival relative to vehicle in a dose-responsive manner. Compared with animals in the vehicle group, PLX-4032-treated mice reveal a 61% increased life span. [1]
