Functions
Trametinib is a highly potent (IC50 uMEK1 = 0.7 nM, pp-MEK1 = 14.9 nM) and selective MEK inhibitor displaying selective inhibition of proliferation in various BRAF mutant cancer cell lines (IC50 ACHN = 9.8 nM; IC50 HT-29 = 0.57 nM). It is approved for use against unresectable or metastatic BRAF-mutant melanoma alone or in combination with Dabrafenib. Trametinib can limit outgrowth of tumors without directly inhibiting tumor cell proliferation via abrogation of cytokine-driven expansion of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (mMDSC) through a mechanism involving CD8+ T cells. Trametinib also displays potent anti-arthritic effects.
Application Procedures
First dissolved in DMSO (up to 20 mg/ml with warming), then diluted to aqueous buffer. Solutions in DMSO may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 months.
