0.13 nM

In vitro

In vitro GDC-0879 also inhibits cellular pERK with IC50 of 63 nM. This compound shows comparable potency in A375 melanoma and Colo205 colorectal carcinoma cell lines, both of which are B-RafV600E mutant, with IC50 of 59 nM and 29 nM for pMEK1 inhibition respectively. It potently inhibits B-RafV600E in Malme3M cells with IC50 of 0.75 μM. This chemical also shows EC50 values < 0.5 μM in many tumor cells (A375, 624, SK-MEL-28, Malme3M, C32, 928, 888, G-361, Colo205, Colo206, SW1417, CL34, and Colo201). [1]

In Vivo

In vivo In GDC-0879 treated mice, both cell line- and patient-derived BRAFV600E tumors exhibit stronger and more sustained pharmacodynamic inhibition (>90% for 8 hours) and improved survival compared to mutant KRAS-expressing tumors. Although there is involvement of activated RAF signaling in RAS-induced tumorigenesis, decreased time to progression is observed for some KRAS-mutant tumors following this compound administration. Whereas this chemical-mediated efficacy is associated strictly with B-RafV600E status, MEK inhibition also attenuates proliferation and tumor growth of cell lines expressing wild-type BRAF (81% KRAS mutant, 38% KRAS wild type). The responsiveness of B-RafV600E melanoma cells to this agent could be dramatically altered by pharmacologic and genetic modulation of PI3K pathway activity. [2]
