- MEK inhibitors MAP kinase ERK signaling cancer MEK 1/2 inhibition inhibited ERK 1/2 potent selective pd184161
- Product Overview:
The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase intracellular signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions.{17156} One of these pathways, the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway, plays a major role in the regulation of cellular growth, differentiation, and proliferation. The modulation of this cascade has been studied as a useful approach to treating proliferative disorders such as cancer.{15421,15629} PD 184161 is a potent and selective inhibitor of MEK1/2 with an IC50 value that ranges from 10-100 nM. {15628} More effective at inhibiting phosphorylation of ERK1/2 than the selective MEK inhibitors, PD 098059 and U0126, PD 184161 is useful both in vitro and in vivo for studying the pharmacological role of the Raf/MEK/ERK pathway.{15628} PD 184161 is structurally related to clinically-studied MEK inhibitors PD184352 (CI-1040) and PD 325901 and has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation, induce apoptosis, and possess antitumor activity in MEK-dependent cancers.{15628}
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.
