Dabrafenib (GSK2118436)
Dabrafenib is a specific inhibitor of BRAF V600 mutants with IC50 values of 0.5nM, 0.6nM and 1.9nM against V600E, V600K and V600D, respectively [1].
BRAF plays a central role in regulating MAPK signaling pathway which regulates cell growth, division and differentiation. The V600E mutation of BRAF increases the kinase activity and is involved in metastatic melanomas. Dabrafenib is an ATP-competitive and reversible inhibitor of BRAF mutants. It potently inhibits BRAFV600E, BRAFV600K and BRAFV600D with IC50 values of 0.5nM, 0.6nM and 1.9nM, respectively. Dabrafenib is currently approved by FDA and is widely used in cancer patients harboring BRAF mutations. It is reported that treatment of dabrafenib shrinks the overall size of brain metastases in patients. It also has an impressive 60% response rate for melanomas outside of the brain. Dabrafenib provides a significant survival benefit in patients with metastatic melanoma [1, 2].
