Preferred Label : MEK inhibitor BI 3011441;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable, small-molecule, allosteric inhibitor of mitogen-activated
protein kinase kinase (MAP2K; MAPKK; MEK), with potential antineoplastic activity.
Upon oral administration, MEK inhibitor BI 3011441 specifically targets, binds to
and inhibits the catalytic activity of MEK, thereby inhibiting the activation of MEK-dependent
effector proteins including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and inhibits
the proliferation of tumor cells in which the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway is
overactivated. The threonine/tyrosine protein kinase MEK plays a key role in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK
signaling pathway, which is frequently upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types
and regulates key cellular activities including cell growth, proliferation, survival,
differentiation and apoptosis.;
