GDC-0879
GDC-0879 (CAS 905281-76-7) is a selective inhibitor of B-Raf kinase, targeting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade implicated in tumorigenesis. It specifically inhibits B-Raf harboring the V600E mutation, demonstrating IC50 values of 0.13 nM against purified mutant B-Raf and 63 nM for phosphorylated ERK in MALME-3M cells. In vitro assays using V600E mutant cell lines (A375 melanoma, Colo205 colorectal cancer) illustrate the compound's selectivity towards B-Raf and related C-Raf kinases. In mouse xenografts expressing human BRAFV600E tumors, GDC-0879 treatment results in sustained (>90%) inhibition of ERK phosphorylation and reduced tumor progression, highlighting its research value in oncology studies involving Raf pathway modulation.

Applications |
GDC-0879 is a potent, selective and orally bioavailable RAF small-molecule inhibitor. GDC-0879 effectively inhibited phospho-ERK with an IC50 value of 63 nmol/L and inhibited cellular viability of BRAF-mutant Malme3M cells with an EC50 value of 0.75 μmol/L. Moreover, there was a strong correlation between activating mutations of the BRAF oncogene and GDC-0879 sensitivity. |

Oral administration, 15, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg |
Application |
GDC-0879 inhibited tumor growth in A375 xenograft tumor-bearing mice in a dose-dependent manner and inhibited phosphorylation of MEK1 in A375 xenografts in a concentration-dependent manner with IC50 value of 3.06 μM. |
Other notes |
Please test the solubility of all compounds indoor, and the actual solubility may slightly differ with the theoretical value. This is caused by an experimental system error and it is normal. |
