Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17332304

Selumetinib (AZD6244 or ARRY-142886) is a potent, selective, and ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of Ras-Raf-mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1/2). This inhibition can prevent ERK activation, disrupt downstream signal transduction, and inhibit cancer cell proliferation and survival. Selumetinib has shown tumour suppressive activity in multiple rodent models of human cancer including melanoma, pancreatic, colon, lung, and breast cancers. AstraZeneca is responsible for development and commercialization of selumetinib.

Curator's Comment: I.p. injection of AZD6244 prevented the development of pain in rats subjected to the chronic constriction injury and reversed already established pain in the spared nerve injury model. No human data available.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
Oral selumetinib (50, 100 and 200mg bid for 28-day cycles) was well tolerated in patients with refractory solid tumours. The maximum tolerated dose was established to be 200mg bid. 100 mg dose of selumetinib proved to be more tolerable than the 200mg dose over prolonged periods. The 100mg dose has been chosen for phase II studies.
Route of Administration: Oral
In Vitro Use Guide
The sensitivity of a large panel of cell lines to Selumetinib (AZD6244 or ARRY-142886) was evaluated in vitro and correlated with RAS and BRAF gene mutation status. There was a wide range of sensitivity to AZD6244 from highly sensitive (IC50, <100 nmol/L) to highly resistant (>10 μmol/L)
