Product Description
Darizmetinib is an inhibitor (blocker/antagonist) of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MAP2K).
Darizmetinib (HRX215, CAS#: 2369583-33-3) is an orally active, potent, and selective inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4 (MKK4). It has a molecular formula of C21H17F2N5O3S and a molecular weight of 421.46. Darizmetinib inhibits MKK4 with an IC50 of 0.02 µM. It is selective for MKK4 over JNK1, B-RAF, and MKK7, with IC50 values of 7.07, 11.46, and 14.97 µM, respectively. The compound has been shown to decrease hepatocyte apoptosis in a mouse model of liver damage at 10 mg/kg. Darizmetinib is being developed for applications in extensive oncological liver resections or transplantation of small liver grafts.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of Darizmetinib is MKK4 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 4, also known as MEK4 or MAP2K4). MKK4 is a dual-specificity kinase that activates the JNK and p38 MAPK signaling pathways, which play important roles in cellular stress responses, inflammation, and apoptosis. Darizmetinib inhibits MKK4 with an IC50 of 0.02 µM. It is selective for MKK4 over JNK1, B-RAF, and MKK7, with IC50 values of 7.07, 11.46, and 14.97 µM, respectively. By selectively inhibiting MKK4, Darizmetinib modulates downstream JNK and p38 signaling pathways.
ln Vitro
Darizmetinib is a potent and selective MKK4 inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.02 µM. It demonstrates selectivity for MKK4 over JNK1, B-RAF, and MKK7 (IC50s = 7.07, 11.46, and 14.97 µM, respectively). This selectivity profile suggests that Darizmetinib specifically targets MKK4 without significantly affecting other kinases in the MAPK pathway. The compound is supplied with a purity of ≥98% and is soluble in DMSO at ≥10 mg/mL.
ln Vivo
In vivo, Darizmetinib (10 mg/kg) decreases hepatocyte apoptosis in a mouse model of liver damage. This demonstrates its potential to protect against liver injury by inhibiting MKK4-mediated apoptosis. The compound is being developed for applications in extensive oncological liver resections or transplantation of small liver grafts, where reducing hepatocyte apoptosis could improve outcomes. Its oral activity makes it suitable for convenient administration.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme activity assays for Darizmetinib typically involve measuring its ability to inhibit MKK4 kinase activity. Recombinant MKK4 enzyme is incubated with its substrate in the presence of ATP and increasing concentrations of Darizmetinib. Kinase activity is measured by detecting phosphorylation of the substrate, and the IC50 is determined from the dose-response curve. The reported IC50 is 0.02 µM. Selectivity is confirmed by testing against a panel of other kinases, including JNK1, B-RAF, and MKK7.
Cell Assay
Cellular assays for Darizmetinib involve treating cells with the compound and measuring inhibition of MKK4-mediated signaling. Readouts include phosphorylation of downstream targets such as JNK and p38, as well as cellular responses such as apoptosis. The compound's ability to decrease hepatocyte apoptosis has been demonstrated in a mouse model of liver damage. Its effects on cell proliferation and survival would be assessed in relevant cell lines.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy of Darizmetinib has been evaluated in a mouse model of liver damage, where 10 mg/kg of the compound decreased hepatocyte apoptosis. The compound is being developed for applications in extensive oncological liver resections or transplantation of small liver grafts. Efficacy endpoints would include reduction of hepatocyte apoptosis, preservation of liver function, and improved survival. The compound's oral activity makes it suitable for convenient administration.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Darizmetinib has a molecular weight of 421.46 and a molecular formula of C21H17F2N5O3S. It is an orally active, potent, and selective MKK4 inhibitor. The compound is supplied with a purity of ≥98% and is soluble in DMSO at ≥10 mg/mL. It should be stored at -20°C. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data is detailed for Darizmetinib in the provided literature. As a research compound, its safety profile would be an important consideration for in vivo applications. Potential toxicities could be related to its effects on MKK4-mediated JNK and p38 signaling pathways in various tissues. Standard preclinical safety studies would be required to evaluate its safety for potential therapeutic applications. The compound is for research use only and is not intended for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Darizmetinib is a small molecule drug. Its International Nonproprietary Name (INN) prefix "-tinib" indicates that darizmetinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The monoisotopic molecular weight of darizmetinib is 457.1 Da. Darizmetinib is an orally bioavailable mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP) kinase 4 (MKK4; MAP2K4) inhibitor with potential hepatoprotective, proliferative, and liver regeneration effects. After oral administration, darizmetinib selectively targets, binds to, and inhibits MKK4 activity in hepatocytes. This allows the MKK7 and mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8; MAP2K1) proliferation-enhancing pathways to be activated, which in turn activate the transcription factor ATF2 and the ETS domain protein ELK1. This promotes hepatocyte proliferation, increases hepatocyte survival, and promotes liver regeneration after hepatectomy. This may help prevent liver failure, restore liver quality, and protect hepatocytes from death. MKK4 is a MAP2K and part of the stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, playing a crucial role in inhibiting cell proliferation and regulating hepatocyte regeneration. Inhibiting MKK4 can enhance the regenerative capacity of hepatocytes.
Darizmetinib (HRX215) is an orally active, potent, and selective inhibitor of MKK4. It inhibits MKK4 with an IC50 of 0.02 µM and is selective over JNK1, B-RAF, and MKK7.
