Refametinib (BAY 86-9766, RDEA119) is a potent, highly selective and ATP non-competitive inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 with IC50 of 19 nM and 47 nM, respectively. Refametinib potently inhibited MEK activity as measured by phosphorylation of ERK1/2 across several human cancer cell lines of different tissue origins and BRAF mutational status with EC50 values ranging from 2.5 to 15.8 nM. RDEA119 inhibits anchorage-dependent growth of human cancer cell lines harboring the gain-of-function V600E BRAF mutant with GI50 values ranging from 67 to 89 nM. Refametinib (BAY 86-9766) exhibited potent antiproliferative activity in HCC cell lines with half-maximal inhibitory concentration values ranging from 33 to 762 nM. BAY 86-9766 was strongly synergistic with sorafenib in suppressing tumor cell proliferation and inhibiting phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Refametinib (BAY 869766, RDEA119) exhibits complete suppression of ERK phosphorylation at fully efficacious doses in mice. Refametinib (BAY 869766, RDEA119) shows a tissue selectivity that reduces its potential for central nervous system-related side effects.

|---|---|
| Cell lines | A375, SK-MEI-28, Colo205, HT-29 and BxPC3 cells |
| Preparation method | For anchorage-dependent growth inhibition experiments, plating cells in white 384-well plates at 1,000/20 μL/well or white 96-well microplates at 4,000/100 μL/well. After 24-h incubation at 37 °C, 5% CO2, and 100% humidity,incubating RDEA119 for 48 hours at 37 °C and assayed using CellTiter-Glo. For the 96-well anchorage-independent growth assay, filling wells of an “ultralow binding” plate (Corning) are with 60 μL of a 0.15% agarose solution in complete RPMI 1640. Then, adding 60 μL of complete RPMI 1640 which contains 9,000 cells in 0.15% agarose per well. 24 hourlater , adding 60 μL of a 3 × drug solution in agarose-free complete RPMI 1640 . 7 d later , 36 μL of 6 × 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)- 2H-tetrazolium, adding inner salt reagent per well. After 2 hours at 37 °C, determining absorbance at 490 nm on the M5 plate reader. |

| Km factor | 3 | 6 | 12 | 8 | 5 | 20 |
| Animal A (mg/kg) = Animal B (mg/kg) multiplied by | Animal B Km |
| Animal A Km |
For example, to modify the dose of Compound A used for a mouse (20 mg/kg) to a dose based on the BSA for a rat, multiply 20 mg/kg by the Km factor for a mouse and then divide by the Km factor for a rat. This calculation results in a rat equivalent dose for Compound A of 10 mg/kg.
