Background:

IC50: 0.13 nM against purified B-Raf V600E enzyme; a cellular pERK IC50 of 63 nM in the MALME-3M cell line

GDC-0879 is synthsized as a potent and selective B-Raf inhibitor. The Raf/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling pathway is reported to be involved in cellular responses, which is relevant to tumorigenesis.

In vitro: GDC-0879 is a B-Raf inhibitor against various in vitro and cell-based assays, such as A375 melanoma and Colo205 colorectal carcinoma cell lines, both of which are V600E B-Raf mutant. When screened against a panel of 140 kinases at its efficaciou dose, GDC-0879 showed expected activity only against C-Raf [1].

In vivo: In mice treated by GDC-0879, both cell line-and patient-derived BRAFV600E tumors exhibited stronger and more sustained pharmacodynamic inhibition (>90% for 8 hours) and improved survival compared with mutant KRAS-expressing tumors. Moreover, it was found that the responsiveness of BRAFV600E melanoma cells to GDC-0879 could be dramatically altered by pharmacologic and genetic modulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway activity [2].

Clinical trial: GDC-0879 is still in the preclinical development stage, and no clinical data are available currently.
