  3. Tunlametinib

Tunlametinib is a highly selective, orally active MEK1/2 inhibitor (IC50=1.9 nM, MEK1). Tunlametinib blocks the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, arrests tumor cell cycle and promotes apoptosis. Tunlametinib potently inhibits the proliferation of RAS/RAF mutant cancer cells (such as BRAF V600E, KRAS G12C mutant cells). Tunlametinib shows synergistic anti-tumor effects with BRAF/KRASG12C/SHP2 inhibitors, Docetaxel (HY-B0011). Tunlametinib can be used to study targeted therapy for RAS/RAF mutation-driven malignancies (such as melanoma, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer).

Tunlametinib potently inhibits the proliferation of RAS/RAF mutant cancer cells (such as BRAF V600E, KRAS G12C mutant cells). Tunlametinib shows synergistic anti-tumor effects with BRAF/KRASG12C/SHP2 inhibitors, Docetaxel (HY-B0011). Tunlametinib can be used to study targeted therapy for RAS/RAF mutation-driven malignancies (such as melanoma, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer)[1][2].

In Vitro

Tunlametinib inhibits the cell viability of BRAF/KRAS mutant cell lines: A375, Colo-829, HL-60 melanoma cells, COLO 205, HT-29 colon cancer cells, Calu-6, A549 lung cancer cells, with IC50 of 0.86 nM, 3.46 nM, 0.67 nM, 0.94 nM, 10.07 nM, 59.89 nM, respectively. Tunlametinib has no significant effect on RAS/RAF wild-type cells (H1975, MRC-5)[1].
Tunlametinib (1-9 nM; 48 h) dose-dependently increases the proportion of A375 cells in the G0/G1 phase and induces cell cycle arrest[1].
Tunlametinib (10-90 nM or 1-9 nM; 48 h) dose-dependently induces apoptosis in COLO 205 cells (10-90 nM), without significant induction effect on A375 cells (1-9 nM)[1].
Tunlametinib (0.1-100 nM; 48 h) dose-dependently reduces the level of phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) in A375 cells with an IC50 of approximately 1.16 nM. Tunlametinib completely inhibits ERK phosphorylation at a concentration of 100 nM[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Cell Cycle Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A375 (BRAF V600E mutant melanoma)
Concentration: 1 nM, 3 nM, 9 nM
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Dose-dependently increased the number of G0/G1 phase cells (from 50% to 70% of total population), indicating cell cycle arrest.

Apoptosis Analysis[1]

Cell Line: A375 (BRAF V600E mutant melanoma) and COLO 205 (BRAF-mutated colon cancer cells)
Concentration: 1 nM, 3 nM, 9 nM for A375 treatment; 10 nM, 30 nM, 90 nM for COLO 205 treatment
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Resulted the proportion of apoptosis cells within normal limits, suggesting no significant apoptosis-inducing effect on A375 cells.
Resulted the proportion of apoptosis of 35.1%, 38.4% and 46.6% after treated with 10, 30 and 90 nM, respectively.
In Vivo

Tunlametinib (1, 3, 6 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 21 days) dose-dependently inhibits tumor growth in A375 (BRAF V600E mutant melanoma), COLO 205 (BRAF V600E mutant colon cancer), Calu-6 (KRAS Q61K mutant lung cancer) tumor-bearing models in female BALB/c nude mice, NU/NU or Nod-Scid mice, with superior inhibition effect to AZD6244 (HY-50706) (25 mg/kg; BID; 21 days)[1].
Tunlametinib (3, 9 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 21 days) inhibits tumor growth in H1975 (BRAF/KRAS wild-type lung cancer) tumor-bearing model in female BALB/c nude mice[1].
Tunlametinib (1 mg/kg, oral; once daily; 30 days) inhibits tumor growth in BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models (CR0004, CR0029, CR2179, CR6289) without causing significant changes in body weight[1].
Tunlametinib (0.25 mg/kg, 1-10 days; 0.125 mg/kg, 11-21 days; oral, once daily) combined with SHP099 (HY-100388) (I: 50 mg/kg, 1-10 days; II: 25 mg/kg, 10-21 days; oral; once every 2 days), synergistically inhibits tumor growth in the H358 (KRASG12C mutant lung cancer) tumor-bearing model[1].
Tunlametinib (1 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 21 days) combined with AMG 510 (HY-114277) (3 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 21 days), synergistically inhibits tumor growth in KRASG12C mutant tumor-bearing models[1].
Tunlametinib (1 mg/kg; oral; once daily; 10 days) combined with Vemurafenib (HY-12057) (25 mg/kg; oral; twice daily; 10 days), synergistically inhibits tumor growth in A375 (BRAF mutant melanoma) tumor-bearing models[1].
Tunlametinib (0.5 mg/kg; oral; twice daily or 3.5 mg/kg, twice weekly; for 4 weeks) combined with Docetaxel (HY-B0011) (I: 10 mg/kg in weeks 1-2, II: 7.5 mg/kg in week 3, III: 5 mg/kg in week 4; intravenous injection; once a week), synergistically inhibits tumor growth in Calu-6, H358, H441, and A549 (all RAS mutant lung cancer) tumor-bearing models[1].

Animal Model: Female BALB/c nude mice (5-8 weeks old) with A375, HT-29, Calu-6 cell-derived xenograft (CDX) model, or CRC atient-derived xenograft (PDX)[1]
Dosage: 1, 3, 6 mg/kg for CDX model; 1 mg/kg (PO) for PDX model
Administration: Oral administration, once daily, 21 days
Result: Significantly inhibited tumor growth in a dose-dependent manner, with better inhibitory effect than that of AZD6244 (25 mg/kg, po, QD).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
