NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 (MEK1/2) with potential
antineoplastic activity. Pimasertib selectively binds to and inhibits the activity
of MEK1/2, preventing the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription
factors, which may result in the inhibition of growth factor-mediated cell signaling
and tumor cell proliferation. MEK1/2 (MAP2K1/K2) are dual-specificity threonine/tyrosine
kinases that play key roles in the activation of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway and are
often upregulated in a variety of tumor cell types.;
