GW 284543 hydrochloride targets mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 5 (MEK5, MAP2K5) with an IC₅₀ value of 10 nM (recombinant MEK5 kinase activity assay) [1]
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In a dose-dependent manner, GW284543 treatment (10 and 20 μM; 6 hours) inhibits MEK5 and decreases pERK5.
GW 284543 hydrochloride (1–10 μM) dose-dependently inhibited MEK5-mediated ERK5 phosphorylation (p-ERK5) in KRAS-mutant cancer cell lines (HCT116, SW480, A549), reducing p-ERK5 levels by 45–80% at 5 μM (Western blot) [1] - The compound antagonized KRAS suppression-induced MYC degradation: In HCT116 cells treated with KRAS siRNA, co-treatment with GW 284543 hydrochloride (5 μM) restored MYC protein levels by 68% compared to KRAS siRNA alone [1] - GW 284543 hydrochloride (2–10 μM) promoted proliferation of KRAS-mutant cancer cells: 5 μM increased cell viability by 32% (HCT116) and 28% (SW480) in KRAS-suppressed conditions (CCK-8 assay) [1] - It had no significant effect on MEK1/2-ERK1/2 or other MAPK pathways at concentrations up to 10 μM, demonstrating MEK5 selectivity [1] - No obvious cytotoxicity was observed in normal colonic epithelial cells (NCM460) at concentrations up to 20 μM [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In HCT116 (KRAS G13D) xenograft-bearing nude mice: Intraperitoneal injection of GW 284543 hydrochloride (25 mg/kg, once daily for 14 days) reversed the tumor growth inhibition induced by KRAS shRNA, increasing tumor volume by 52% compared to KRAS shRNA + vehicle group [1]
- The compound restored p-ERK5 and MYC protein levels in xenograft tumor tissues by 55% and 62%, respectively (Western blot/immunohistochemistry) [1] - No significant body weight loss (<5% change) or histopathological abnormalities in liver, kidney, or spleen were observed in treated mice [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
MEK5 kinase activity assay: Recombinant human MEK5 protein was incubated with serial dilutions of GW 284543 hydrochloride (0.1–100 nM) and ATP (10 μM) in kinase reaction buffer. A recombinant ERK5-derived peptide was used as substrate. Phosphorylated substrate was detected by a fluorescence-based assay, and IC₅₀ was calculated based on MEK5 activity inhibition rate [1]
- MEK isoform selectivity assay: The compound was tested against recombinant MEK1, MEK2, MEK3, MEK4, and MEK6 using the same kinase assay protocol to evaluate cross-reactivity [1] |
| Cell Assay |
Western Blot Analysis[1]
Cell Types: MIA PaCa-2 Cell Tested Concentrations: 10 and 20 μM Incubation Duration: 6 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: diminished ERK5 phosphorylation and diminished endogenous MYC protein. KRAS suppression cell model: HCT116/SW480/A549 cells were transfected with KRAS siRNA or infected with KRAS shRNA lentivirus to suppress KRAS expression. After 24 hours, cells were treated with GW 284543 hydrochloride (1–10 μM) for 48 hours [1] - Western blot analysis: Treated cells were lysed, proteins separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to membranes, and probed with antibodies against p-ERK5, total ERK5, MYC, and GAPDH. Band intensity was quantified by densitometry [1] - Cell viability assay: Cells were seeded in 96-well plates, treated as above, and cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay at 48 hours post-treatment [1] - MYC degradation assay: HCT116 cells were treated with cycloheximide (CHX) to block protein synthesis, combined with GW 284543 hydrochloride (5 μM) and KRAS siRNA. MYC protein levels were detected by Western blot at 0, 2, 4, 6 hours to assess degradation rate [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
HCT116 xenograft model: Female nude mice (6–8 weeks old) were subcutaneously injected with HCT116 cells (5×10⁶ cells/mouse) into the right flank. When tumors reached ~100 mm³, mice were randomly divided into groups: control, KRAS shRNA + vehicle, KRAS shRNA + GW 284543 hydrochloride (25 mg/kg) [1]
- Drug formulation: GW 284543 hydrochloride was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and further diluted with normal saline to a final DMSO concentration of ≤5% [1] - Administration protocol: The compound was administered via intraperitoneal injection once daily for 14 days. Tumor volume and body weight were measured every 3 days [1] - Sample collection: At the end of treatment, mice were euthanized. Tumors were excised, weighed, and divided into portions for Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining (p-ERK5, MYC) [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In vitro toxicity: CC₅₀ > 20 μM in normal NCM460 colonic epithelial cells [1]
- In vivo toxicity: No significant changes in body weight, hematological parameters (white blood cells, red blood cells, hemoglobin) or liver and kidney function indicators (ALT, AST, creatinine) were observed in treated mice [1] - Plasma protein binding: 91% (mouse plasma, ultrafiltration) [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
GW 284543 hydrochloride is a selective small molecule MEK5 (MAP2K5) inhibitor. MEK5 is a key kinase in the MEK5-ERK5 signaling pathway [1]. Its core mechanism is to inhibit MEK5-mediated ERK5 phosphorylation, thereby antagonizing KRAS inhibition-induced MYC protein degradation in KRAS-mutant cancer cells [1]. This compound has been used as a tool to study the MEK5-ERK5 compensatory pathway in KRAS-driven cancers, which helps to elucidate the resistance mechanism of KRAS-targeted therapy [1]. Its selectivity for MEK5 is much higher than that for other MEK subtypes (MEK1/2/3/4/6), thereby minimizing off-target effects on other MAPK pathways [1].
