In vitro
Dabrafenib displayed compelling inhibitory activity in enzyme and cellular mechanistic assays, and in cell proliferation assays in B-RafV600E-driven melanoma lines, SKMEL28 and A375P F11 (IC50 = 3 and 8 nM, respectively), and colorectal carcinoma line Colo205 (IC50 = 7 nM). Dabrafenib has a minimal effect in vitro on cells with wild-type B-Raf (HFF IC50 = 3.0 μM) and in tumor cells not harboring the activating B-RafV600E mutation. It is highly selective, exhibiting >500-fold selectivity for B-RafV600E compared to most kinases screened. Significant activity (<100-fold selectivity) was observed for a single kinase in the panel, Alk5. GSK2118436 is significantly less effective at inhibiting SMAD2/3 phosphorylation (IC50 = 3.7 μM) compared with inhibiting ERK phosphorylation (IC50 = 4 nM) in a cellular context. Cellular inhibition of BRAFV600E kinase activity by dabrafenib resulted in decreased MEK and ERK phosphorylation and inhibition of cell proliferation through an initial G1 cell cycle arrest, followed by cell death.
In vivo
In a BRAFV600E-containing xenograft model of human melanoma, orally administered dabrafenib inhibited ERK activation, downregulated Ki67, and upregulated p27, leading to tumor growth inhibition. Dabrafenib is orally bioavailable, doesn’t significantly accumulate after multiple dosing, and causes a reduction of pERK that is sustained for up to 18 h post-dosing after 7 and 14 days of dosing.
