Description: |
Trametinib is a potent MEK inhibitor that inhibits MEK1 and MEK2 with IC50s of about 2 nM. Due to the poor solubility of Trametinib, Trametinib DMSO solvate (Cat. No.: HY-10999A) is recommeded. |
In Vivo: |
Adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) and type II collageninduced arthritis (CIA) development are suppressed almost completely by 0.1 mg/kg of Trametinib (JTP-74057) or 10 mg/kg of Leflunomide[1]. Trametinib (0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, p.o.) is effective in inhibiting the HT-29 xenograft growth in a nude mouse xenograft model[2]. |
In Vitro: |
Trametinib (0.1-100 nM) blocks tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Trametinib (JTP-74057) inhibits the growth of 9 out of 10 human colorectal cancer cell lines, and they shows cell-cycle arrest at the G1 phase after drug tratment[1]. The combination of GSK2118436 and Trametinib (GSK1120212) effectively inhibits cell growth, decreases ERK phosphorylation, decreases cyclin D1 protein, and increases p27(kip1) protein in the resistant clones[2]. |
