Biological Activity
Dabrafenib is an ATP-competitive inhibitor of Raf with IC50s of 5 nM and 0.6 nM for C-Raf and B-RafV600E, respectively.
In Vitro
Dabrafenib (GSK2118436, 1 μM) with 0.01 μM GSK1120212 inhibits more than 90% of cell growth in the NRAS mutant clones. GSK2118436 is sufficient to reduce S6P phosphorylation in A375[1]. Dabrafenib suppresses the PolyP-mediated vascular barrier permeability, upregulation of inflammatory biomarkers, adhesion/migration of leukocytes, and activation and/or production of nuclear factor-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α, and interleukin-6[2]. Dabrafenib inhibits the release of HMGB1 and downregulates HMGB1-dependent inflammatory responses by enhancing the expressions of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) in human endothelial cells[3].
In Vivo
Dabrafenib-treated females have mostly immature reproductive tracts with no evidence of ovulation, similar to age-matched controls; however, DAB-treated females have keratinized and histologically open vaginas[5].
