Biological Activity
Encorafenib (LGX818) is a highly potent RAF inhibitor with selective anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity in cells expressing BRAFV600E (EC50=4 nM).
In Vitro
Encorafenib (LGX818) is a potent drug that can prevents diseases or disorders associated with abnormal or deregulated kinase activity, particularly diseases or disorders that involve abnormal activation of B-Raf[1]. Encorafenib (LGX818) (10 nM) suppresses the ERK/MAPK pathway and displays marked inhibition of pERK in A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells. 10 nM Encorafenib (LGX818) treatment for 12 days potently inhibits colony formation in A375, G361 and SK-MEL-24 cells, but not in RPMI7951 and C8161 cells. Encorafenib (LGX818) treatment induces a steady increase in the β-catenin level in G361 cells over time[2].
