Product Description

Encorafenib (formerly LGX818; LGX-818; trade name Braftovi), an approved anticancer drug, is a highly potent, and orally bioavailable B-RAFV600E inhibitor with potential antineoplastic activity. With an IC50 of 4 nM, it inhibits B-Raf V600E. Against BRAF of the wild type, it has little impact. Encorafenib was given FDA approval in June 2018 to treat metastatic or irresectable melanoma. On cells expressing BRAFV600E, encorafenib has selective anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity. With more than 400 cell lines expressing BRAFV600E, it exhibits no discernible activity against a panel of 100 kinases and no inhibition of cell growth. Encorafenib oral administration results in a significant decrease in phospho-MEK and causes tumor regression in human melanoma xenograft models. In the RAFMAPK/ERK signaling pathway, Raf kinase is a serine/threonine enzyme. Encorafenib may lessen the proliferation of tumor cells by preventing the activation of the RAF/MAPK/ERK signaling pathway.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
B-Raf (V600E) (IC50 = 0.3 nM)
ln Vitro
Encorafenib (LGX818) is a potent medication that can prevent illnesses or conditions linked to abnormal or uncontrolled kinase activity, especially illnesses or conditions involving abnormal activation of B-Raf[1]. In A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells, encorafenib (LGX818) (10 nM) significantly inhibits pERK and suppresses the ERK/MAPK pathway. A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells are potently inhibited from forming colonies when exposed to 10 nM Encorafenib (LGX818) for 12 days, but RPMI7951 and C8161 cells are not. In G361 cells, encorafenib (LGX818) treatment causes a progressive rise in the concentration of β-catenin[2].
ln Vivo
Encorafenib treatment at oral doses as low as 6 mg/kg resulted in a strong (75%) and sustained (>24 hours) decrease in phospho-MEK, even following clearance of drug from circulation in single dose PK/PD studies in human melanoma xenograft models (BRAFV600E). In multiple BRAF mutant human tumor xenograft models grown in immunocompromised mice and rats, LGX818 induces tumor regression at doses as low as 1 mg/kg. According to in vitro data, LGX818 is ineffective against BRAF wild-type tumors at doses up to 300 mg/kg bid, with good tolerability and linear exposure increase. Additionally, effectiveness is attained in a model of brain metastasizing melanoma as well as a spontaneous metastatic melanoma that is more disease-relevant. LGX818 is a potent and selective RAF kinase inhibitor with unique biochemical properties that contribute to an excellent pharmacological profile. [1]
Enzyme Assay
The addition of 10 L of 2×ATP diluted in assay buffer per well initiates the Raf kinase activity reaction. The reactions are terminated after 3 hours (bRaf(V600E)) or 1 hour (c-Raf) by adding 10 μL of stop reagent (60 mM EDTA). By adding 30 μL of a mixture of the antibody (1:2000 dilution) and detection beads (1:2000 dilution of both beads) in bead buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 0.01% Tween20) to the well, phosphorylated product is measured using a rabbit anti-p-MEK antibody and the Alpha Screen IgG (ProteinA) detection Kit. To prevent light from damaging the detection beads, the additions are performed in a dark environment. A PerkinElmer Envision instrument is used to read the luminescence after an hour of room temperature incubation with a lid on top of the plate. Using XL Fit data analysis software, non-linear regression is used to determine the concentration of each compound that results in 50% inhibition (IC50).
Cell Assay
Cells were incubated with encorafenib at various concentrations for 24 hours.

*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.

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)
  • 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)
