Selumetinib | Koselugo | AZD6244|ARRY-142886 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 26 MEK1 Inhibitor 26 MEK2 Inhibitor 24 | Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, reducing cellular proliferation in various cancers (PMID: 27467210). Koselugo (selumetinib) is FDA approved for use in pediatric patients of 2 years or older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (FDA.gov). |
Ulixertinib | BVD-523|BVD 523|BVD523 | ERK Inhibitor (pan) 21 | Ulixertinib (BVD-523) inhibits both ERK 1 and 2, thereby preventing the activation of ERK-mediated signal transduction pathways and resulting in growth inhibition (PMID: 28939558). |
