Product Description

Dabrafenib mesylate (formerly GSK-2118436 mesylate; Tafinlar), the mesylate salt of dabrafenib, is an orally bioavailable BRAF V600 inhibitor that was given FDA approval to treat melanoma in 2013. In cell-free assays, it inhibits BRAF V600 with an IC50 of 0.8 nM.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
B-Raf (V600E) (IC50 = 0.7 nM); B-Raf (IC50 = 5.2 nM); C-Raf (IC50 = 6.3 nM)
ln Vitro
Dabrafenib demonstrated strong inhibitory activity in enzyme and cellular mechanistic assays, as well as in cell proliferation assays in B-RafV600E-driven melanoma lines SKMEL28 and A375P F11 (IC50 = 3 and 8 nM, respectively), and colorectal carcinoma line Colo205 (IC50 = 7 nM). On cells with wild-type B-Raf and tumor cells lacking the activating B-RafV600E mutation, dabrafenib has little effect in vitro (HFF IC50 = 3.0 μM). Compared to the majority of kinases screened, it is more selective than 500-fold for B-RafV600E. One of the kinases in the panel, Alk5, showed significant activity (<100-fold selectivity), but GSK2118436 is significantly less effective at inhibiting SMAD2/3 phosphorylation (IC50 = 3.7 μM) than it is at inhibiting ERK phosphorylation (IC50 = 4 nM) in a cellular setting[1]. Dabrafenib reduced the activity of the BRAFV600E kinase in cells, which in turn caused a decrease in MEK and ERK phosphorylation, as well as a G1 cell cycle arrest and cell death.
ln Vivo
Dabrafenib, when taken orally, prevented ERK activation, downregulated Ki67, and upregulated p27 in a BRAFV600E-containing xenograft model of human melanoma, which inhibited tumor growth. Dabrafenib is orally bioavailable, does not significantly accumulate after multiple doses, and reduces pERK after 7 and 14 days of dosing[2]. This effect is sustained for up to 18 hours post-dosing.
Cell Assay
For longer-term proliferation assays, cells are plated in 10% FBS-containing RMPI-1640 for 12 days and treated with a single compound or a combination of compounds. The assay involves at least one compound treatment replacement. Using 0.5% methylene blue in 50% ethanol, cells are stained after 12 days. Using a flatbed scanner, pictures are taken.
Animal Protocol
The 26 10-week-old, time-mated, virus-antibody-free SD (Crl:CD[SD]) female rats that were chosen as the test system gave birth to the rat pups. From Day 20 to Day 23 postpartum, mated females are monitored for spontaneous deliveries (the day parturition is complete is designated PND 0). When parturition is complete, on PNDs 3 and 6, litter examinations are carried out. These examinations include external morphologic examinations, gender determination, and individual pup weights. Clinical signs and body weights are used to select parturient dams and their litters for the study, and selected dams and their litters are then randomly assigned to study groups based on clinical observations and PND 3 litter mean body weights. On PND 3 or 4, litters are reduced to four or five males and females, with only a small amount of fostering required to achieve the desired sex ratio. This helps to preserve natural litter sizes as much as possible. Records of the pups raised by the original and foster dams are kept. Paw tattoos are used to identify each puppy. Nonlittermates are placed in subsets to the greatest extent possible. DAB is administered to young male and female rats by oral gavage at a dose volume of 5 ml/kg, based on daily body weight, in a suspension of vehicle, 0.5% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose K15M, and 0.1% (v/v) Tween80 in purified water.

*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:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • 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)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
