Buparlisib | BKM-120|BKM120 | PI3K Inhibitor (Pan) 42 | Buparlisib (BKM120) specifically inhibits class I PI3K in the PI3K/AKT kinase (or protein kinase B) signaling pathway in an ATP-competitive manner, and may result in apoptotic activity and inhibition of cell proliferation (PMID: 22188813). | |
Encorafenib | Braftovi | LGX818 | BRAF Inhibitor 25 | Braftovi (encorafenib) is an inhibitor of Raf kinase with selective activity against BRAF V600E, resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 24864047). Braftovi (encorafenib) is FDA approved for use in combination with Mektovi (binimetinib) in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma with a BRAF V600E or V600K mutation, and in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer harboring BRAF V600E, and in combination with Erbitux (cetuximab) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer with BRAF V600E (FDA.gov). |
