- Product Overview:
MEK kinases are central components of diverse intracellular signaling pathways. MEK1 and MEK2 specifically act downstream of growth factor receptors and the proto-oncogenes Ras and Raf to activate ERK1 and ERK2, often leading to an increase in cell proliferation.{24267} AZD 6244 is a potent, highly selective inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 (IC50 = 14 and 530 nM, respectively).{24156,24266,24267} It weakly inhibits the EGF receptor (IC50 = 7.0 µM) and has no effect on a large panel of other kinases.{24156} AZD 6244 suppresses the growth of tumors displaying high levels of phosphorylated MEK1/2 or ERK1/2.{24266,24267} In addition to suppressing growth, it induces apoptosis and differentiation within tumors.{24265} AZD 6244 has potential, alone or in combination therapy, for promoting tumor regression in various forms of cancer, including those involving mutations of the proto-oncogenes Ras and Raf.{24269,24268}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
