Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

RO4987655, also known as CH4987655, is an orally active small molecule, targeting mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MAP2K1 or MEK1), with potential antineoplastic activity. MEK inhibitor RO4987655 binds to and inhibits MEK, which may result in the inhibition of MEK-dependent cell signaling and the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. MEK, a dual specificity threonine/tyrosine kinase, is a key component of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway that regulates cell growth; constitutive activation of this pathway has been implicated in many cancers.

Product Data
Biological target:
RO4987655 is a MEK inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM). It inhibits the proliferation of COLO 205, HT-29, QG56, MIA PaCa-2, and C32 cells with IC50 values of 0.86, 1.7, 9.5, 3.3, and 8.4 nM, respectively. RO4987655 reduces tumor growth in a variety of mouse xenograft models and inhibits the phosphorylation of ERK in tumor tissue in an HT-29 mouse xenograft model. It acts synergistically with the everolimus to reduce tumor volume in an HCT116 mouse xenograft model.
In vitro activity:
To be determined
In vivo activity:
In mouse models of type 2 diabetes, RO4987655 and RO5126766 decreased blood glucose and improved glucose tolerance. There was an increased glucose infusion rate in db/db mice treated with these compounds. This study showed that blood glucose levels are reduced by suppression of MEK1 expression in the liver of db/db mice.
