Product Description

Cobimetinib hemifumarate (formerly also known as RG7420; XL518; GDC0973), the hemifumarate salt of cobimetinib, is an oral, highly potent and selective MEK1 inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. IWith an IC50 of 4.2 nM, it blocks MEK1.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MEK1 (IC50 = 4.2 nM)
ln Vitro
Cobimetinib (GDC-0973) has an EC50 of 0.2 μM and 10 μM for 888MEL and A2058 cells, respectively. (888MEL: 0.05 μM GDC-0973, 2.5 μM GDC-0941; A2058: 2.5 μM GDC-0973, 2.5 μM GDC-0941)[1] Melanoma cells are treated with EC50 concentrations of MEK and PI3K inhibitors for 24 hours. When cobimetinib (100 nM) is used to treat melanoma cells in A375 cells, mitochondrial OXPHOS limits the amount of cell death that is induced[4].
ln Vivo
Treatment with Cobimetinib (GDC-0973) up to 5 mg/kg causes moderate TGI in the NCI-H2122 KRASG12C mutant non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) xenograft model, and at 10 mg/kg approaches tumor stasis[1]. GDC-0973 and GDC-0941 are given to mice with the A2058 tumor daily (QD) or every third day (Q3D), either separately or together. For GDC-0973 and GDC-0941, the population rate constants linked to tumor growth inhibition are 0.00102 and 0000651 μM-1 h-1, respectively[2]. Based on tumor concentrations in xenografted mice, the estimated in vivo IC50 values of %pERK decrease are 0.78 (WM-266-4) and 0.52 μM (A375) after single doses of GDC-0973 (1, 3, or 10 mg/kg, p.o.)[3].
Enzyme Assay
Cobimetinib (GDC-0973, RG7420) is a potent, selective and oral MEK1 inhibitor with an IC50 of 4.2 nM for MEK1.
Animal Protocol
Female NCR nude mice have had 5 million WM-266-4 melanoma cells intradermally implanted into the hind flank. The cells were resuspended in Hank balanced salt solution. Xenograft mice with tumor volumes of roughly 100 to 120 mm3 are randomly assigned to 4 single dose groups and 4 multiple dose groups on days 11 or 13 following the implantation. Mice in the single dose groups receive a single oral dose of the drug Cobimetinib (GDC-0973, expressed as free base equivalents), vehicle (water for injection USP), 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg one day after randomization and group assignment. For 14 days, mice in the multiple dose groups receive daily oral doses of the GDC-0973 1, 3, or 10 mg/kg, vehicle (water for injection USP), or both. On day 1 (single dose groups) or day 14 (multiple dose groups), plasma and tumor samples (n=3 per time point) are taken from euthanized mice predose and at 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 72, and 168 hours postdose. Samples are kept until analysis at 80°C. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS) is used to assess the concentrations of GDC-0973 in tumor lysates and plasma. The assay's dynamic range is 0.004 to 35 μM.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
