Product Description
RO4987655 (also known as CH-4987655) is a novel, orally bioavailable and specific small molecule inhibitor of MEK kinase with an IC50 of 5.2 nM for MEK1/MEK2. It targets MAP2K1/MEK1, a protein kinase with potential anti-cancer activity. With an in vitro MEK1/2 IC50 of 5.2 nmol/L, it effectively prevents the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and the growth of tumor cells. In xenograft models, oral administration of CH4987655 as a single agent caused total tumor regressions. Clinical trials found that doses of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mg were secure and well tolerated. No clinically significant safety event was noticed.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
MEK1 (IC50 = 5.2 nM); MEK2 (IC50 = 5.2 nM)
ln Vitro
RO4987655 potently inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway activation and tumor cell growth, with an in vitro IC50 of 5.2 nM for inhibition of MEK1/2[1]. With an IC50 value of 0.0065 μM, RO4987655 inhibits the proliferation of NCI-H2122 cells in a dose-dependent manner. At doses ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 μM, RO4987655 suppresses pERK1/2 as early as 2 hours into the treatment period[2].
ln Vivo
In xenograft models, RO4987655 (CH4987655) administered orally as a single agent completely eradicates tumors. With a tmax of under one hour, RO4987655 is rapidly absorbed. From 0.5 to 4 mg, exposures are dose-proportional. With a terminal t1/2 of under 25 hours, the disposition is biphasic. Low intersubject variability is observed; the range for Cmax and area-under-the-curve (AUC) is respectively 9%–23% and 14%–25%. At higher doses, pERK inhibition is more than 80% inhibited and exposure dependent. An inhibitory Emax model (Emax ~100%; IC50 40.6 ng/mL) is used in nonlinear mixed-effect modeling to describe the pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship[1]. Randomly assigned study groups are made up of female athymic nude mice. Using a digital caliper and on days 0, 1, and 3 with doses of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/kg RO4987655, the tumor size is estimated. Over this period, the vehicle treatment does not stop the NCI-H2122 tumor xenograft from growing. On the other hand, treatment with RO4987655 causes tumor growth inhibition (TGI) of 119% at 1.0 mg/kg, 145% at 2.5 mg/kg, and 150% at 5.0 mg/kg on day 3. PET imaging demonstrates that [18F] FDG uptake in the xenografts decreases 24 hours (day 1) after RO4987655 administration[2].
Enzyme Assay
RO4987655 (also known as CH-4987655) is a novel, orally bioavailable and specific small molecule inhibitor of MEK kinase with an IC50 of 5.2 nM for MEK1/MEK2. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MAP2K1/MEK1), which may have antineoplastic activity, is the target of this medication. With an in vitro IC50 for MEK1/2 inhibition of 5.2 nmol/L, it effectively prevents the activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and the growth of tumor cells.
Cell Assay
The heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum and L-glutamine are maintained at the indicated concentrations in the designated media for the human lung adenocarcinoma cell line NCI-H2122. At 37 degrees Celsius and 5% CO2, cells develop. Viable cells were counted using the Cell Counting Kit-8 after cells were exposed to RO4987655 at different concentrations (0.00001, 0.001, 0.1, and 10 μM) for 72 hours in 96-well plates[2].
Animal Protocol
Mice: Mice that are athymic and naked in females It uses balb nu/nu that are 5 to 6 weeks old (18 to 22 g). Balb-nu/nu mice receive a subcutaneous injection of NCI-H2122 cells ((4×106/mouse). Mice are randomized into groups with comparable mean tumor volumes at the beginning of the study once tumors are established (100 to 200 mm3). On days 0, 1, and 3 with doses of 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0 mg/kg RO4987655, PET scans are used to estimate the tumor size. Days 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, and 9 of [18F] FDG-PET imaging are used to measure tumor volume and body weight. Calculations are made to determine tumor growth inhibition[2].

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

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:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • 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)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
