Product Description

Refametinib (formerly RDEA-119, BAY 86-9766) is an orally bioavailable, highly selective, non-ATP-competitive (allosteric) inhibitor of MEK1/2 that may have antitumor effects. With IC50s of 19 nM and 47 nM, it inhibits MEK1/2. It has excellent in vitro anti-proliferative activity against cancer cell lines containing the V600E BRAF mutant, with GI50 values ranging from 67 nM to 89 nM. In addition, Refametinib showed strong in vivo antitumor activity in the human melanoma A375 tumor xenograft model and clearly inhibited tumor growth.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MEK1 (IC50 = 19 nM); MEK2 (IC50 = 47 nM)
ln Vitro
RDEA119 is highly effective at inhibiting cell proliferation in a number of tumor cell lines, including A375, SK-MEI-28, Colo205, HT-29, and BxPC3. It is specifically bound directly to an allosteric pocket in the MEK1/2 enzymes. RDEA119 has a GI50 range of 67 to 89 nM and inhibits the anchorage-dependent growth of human cancer cell lines containing the gain-of-function V600E BRAF mutant. All cell lines examined have similar GI50 values (40–84 nM) under anchorage-independent conditions. The tissue selectivity of RDEA119 reduces the likelihood of adverse effects on the central nervous system.[1] RDEA119 has no effect on the other 4 cell lines that carried wild-type BRAF, but it significantly reduces the proliferation of the 4 cell lines that carried the BRAF mutation (IC50 of 0.034-0.217 μM vs. 1.413-34.120 μM). Combining RDEA119 with the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus, increases the inhibitory effect of RDEA119 in certain cell lines, including OCUT1 (BRAF V600E(+), PIK3CA H1047R(+)), and SW1376 (BRAF V600E(+)). Additionally, RDEA119 and temsirolimus exhibit synergistic effects on the selectively tested OCUT1 and KAT18 cells' autophagic death. [2]
ln Vivo
In the human melanoma A375 tumor model, oral administration of RDEA119 at 50 mg/kg on a once daily × 14 schedule results in a 68% tumor growth inhibition (TGI). In the human colon carcinoma Colo205 tumor model, oral administration of RDEA119 at 25 mg/kg on a once-daily-for-14-days schedule causes a 123% TGI (TGI > 100% occurs when the tumor shrinks below its starting volume). For HT-29 and A431 tumors, a dose of 25 mg/kg given once daily results in TGI of 56% and 67%, respectively. [1]
Enzyme Assay
Escherichia coli expressed with the pET21a vector produces kinase-inactive murine ERK2 (mERK2) K52A/T183A, which is affinity purified. The substrate, mERK2 K52A T183A, is used to measure MEK1 kinase activity. Recombinant MEK1 enzyme (5 nM) is first activated by 0.02 unit or 1.5 nM of RAF1 in the presence of 25 mM HEPES (pH 7.8), 1 mM MgCl2, 50 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, and 50 μM ATP for 30 minutes at 25 °C. In a total volume of 20 μL, the reactions are started by adding 2 μM of mERK2K52A T183A and 2.5 μCi [γ-33P] ATP. Similar methods are used to measure the activity of MEK2 kinase, with the exception that 11 nM of the active MEK2 enzyme is used in the assays instead of activation by RAF1. Invitrogen uses its Select Screen Kinase Profiling Service to carry out kinase profiling. The Z'-LYTE biochemical assay is employed. RDEA119 is tested in quadruplicate at 10 μM against 205 kinases.
Cell Assay
Cells are plated in white 384-well plates at 1,000/20 μL per well or white 96-well microplates at 4,000/100 μL per well for experiments involving anchorage-dependent growth inhibition. RDEA119 is incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C, 5% CO2, and 100% humidity, followed by 48 hours at 37 °C and a CellTiter-Glo assay. Wells of an "ultralow binding" plate (Corning) are filled with 60 μL of a 0.15% agarose solution in complete RPMI 1640 for the 96-well anchorage-independent growth assay. Then, each well receives 60 μL of complete RPMI 1640 containing 9,000 cells in 0.15% agarose. After 24 hours, 60 μL of a 3 × drug solution in complete RPMI 1640 without agarose are added. After 7 d, 36 μL of 6 × 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)- 2H-tetrazolium, inner salt reagent are added per well. On the M5 plate reader, absorbance at 490 nm is measured after two hours at 37 °C.
Animal Protocol
Mice: Except for the Colo205 study 2, which employed male mice, all efficacy studies used athymic nude female mice. Mice are given s.c. injections of 1×106 tumor cells (Colo205 and A431) or ~1 mm3 tumor fragments (A375 and HT-29). Caliper measurements are used to track tumor volumes. When tumors are 80 to 185 mm3 in size, treatment is started for efficacy analysis. Refametinib (25 and 50 mg/kg/d) is given by oral gavage once daily for 14 days, twice daily for 14 days, or once every two days for 14 doses.

  • 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)
