Product Description

RAF265 (formerly also known as CHIR265; RAF 265; RAF-265) is an orally bioavailable multi-kinase inhibitor with potential antitumor activity. With an IC50 range of 3–60 nM, it inhibits a number of kinases, including BRAFV600E, BRAF (wild-type), c-RAF, VEGFR2, PDGFR, CSF 1R, RET, c-KIT, SRC, and STE20. In BRAFV600E melanoma and colorectal cancer xenograft models, RAF26 shows notable anti-proliferative activity in vitro and strong in vivo antitumor efficacy.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
VEGFR2 (EC50 = 30 nM); B-Raf (IC50 = 3 nM-60 nM)
ln Vitro

RAF265 inhibits C-Raf, wild type B-Raf and mutant (V600E) B-Raf. Regardless of PTEN mutation status, RAF265 kills melanoma and colorectal cancer cell lines carrying B-Raf mutations and efficiently blocks phosphorylation of Raf's downstream substrates, MEK and ERK, in cells. Similar to the effects of Raf RNAi in these cells, RAF265-induced Raf kinase inhibition in mutant B-Raf melanoma cell lines induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. RAF265 also strongly suppresses VEGF-stimulated hMVEC proliferation and VEGFR2 phosphorylation.[1] RAF265 exhibits inhibitory activity with IC20 of 1 to 3 μM and IC50 of 5 to 10 μM in HT29 and MDAMB231 cells, respectively. RAF265 has a dominant effect on clonogenic survival as evidenced by the significant reduction in clonogenic survival it causes in all tested cell lines. In HCT116 cells, adding RAF265 to RAD001 may result in a somewhat reduced level of 4EBP1 phosphorylation, S6 protein, and AKT.[2] Raf265 has no effect on the TRAIL susceptibility of BON1 and GOT1 cells, but it significantly lowers the protein level of Bcl-2 and has a strong inhibitory effect on CM- and NCI-H727 cells.[3] In A2058 melanoma cells, protein kinase D3 (PRKD3) knockdown may increase the cell-killing effects of RAF265—a protein that induces PARP cleavage, increases caspase activity, stops the progression of the cell cycle, and inhibits colony formation.[4]

ln Vivo
RAF265 exhibits 71% to 72% TVI% (tumor volume inhibition percentage) in HCT116 xenografts at 12 mg/kg. On the other hand, RAD001 plus RAF265 exhibits improved antitumor activity with delayed tumor growth and increased T10 (time to achieve a relative tumor volume of 10 times the initial tumor volume). In HCT116 and MDAMB231 but not in A549 xenografts, the combination of RAD001 and RAF265 also markedly increases caspase-3 activation. [2] After oral administration of 100 mg/kg, RAF265 reduces the tumor volumes in A375M xenografts and inhibits the accumulation of FDG (2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-d-glucose).[5]
Enzyme Assay
In assay buffer (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 15 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mM EDTA, and 1 mM DTT), Raf and Mek are combined at 2 × final concentrations. 15 μL is then dispensed per well in polypropylene assay plates. The background levels in the wells with Mek and DMSO but no Raf are measured. 3 μL of 10 × RAF265 diluted in 100% DMSO is added to the Raf/Mek containing wells. To initiate the raf kinase activity reaction, add 12 μL of diluted 2.5 × 33P-ATP per well in assay buffer. The reactions are halted by adding 70 μL of stop reagent (30 mM EDTA) after 45–60 minutes. After five minutes of pre-wetting with 70% ethanol, filtration plates are rinsed with wash buffer. Following that, samples (90 μL) are moved from the reaction wells to the filtration plates. The Millipore filtration apparatus is used to wash the filtration plates six times with wash buffer. After the plates are dried, 100 μL of scintillation fluid is added to each well. After that, the CPM is calculated with a Wallac Microbeta 1450 reader.
Cell Assay
The Bliss additivism model and the MTT assay are used to evaluate how RAF265 affects cell viability. A total of 1 × 104 cells are grown in 200 μL of medium in each well of a 96-well plate. To reach a final concentration of 0.1 to 10 μM, RAF265 is added after a 24-hour period. 20 μL of a 5 mg/mL MTT solution in PBS is added to each well following a 48-hour treatment period. The formazan crystals are disposed of in 200 μL of DMSO after the supernatant is extracted after 4 hours. Next, using an absorbance plate reader, absorbance is measured at 595 nm. The percentage of viable cells is used to express data.
Animal Protocol
Mice: In vivo testing is also done to evaluate the combination's effectiveness. The flank region of 6-week-old female athymic mice receives a single subcutaneous injection of 3×106 A549, H460, HCT116, or MDAMB231 cells. Treatment options for the mice are vehicle, RAD001 (12 mg/kg daily), RAF265 (12 mg/kg daily), or both, and they are randomized into four groups (n=7/group) once the tumors reach 50 mm3. The drug combination is administered concurrently, and all medications are administered over a period of 14 days (6 days on, 2 days off, and 6 days on). Both drugs are given to control mice in their appropriate delivery systems. Tumor volumes and animal weights are recorded twice a week, and the results are expressed in relation to the original tumor volume. It is recorded how long it takes for a tumor to reach a relative volume ten times its initial volume. Tumor growth curve, growth delay, and percentage of tumor volume inhibition are used to evaluate the efficacy of drugs. To show how the relative tumor size has changed over time, a tumor growth curve is used. An algorithm is used to compute the tumor volume inhibition percentage (TVI%).

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 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)
