product name PLX-4720
Description: PLX4720, a 7-azaindole derivative discovered by a structure-guided discovery approach, is a selective inhibitor of B-RafV600E with IC50 of 13 nM in a cell-free assay, it is 10-fold more selective for B-RafV600E than wild-type B-Raf.PLX-4720 potently inhibits ERK phosphorylation in tumor cell lines harboring B-RafV600E, induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in B-RafV600E-positive melanoma cells and causes tumor growth delays in B-RafV600E-dependent tumor xenograft models through oral administration.
