Description

GDC-0623 (RG 7421) is a potent, ATP-uncompetitive inhibitor of MEK1 (Ki=0.13 nM, +ATP), and displays 6-fold weaker potency against HCT116 (KRAS (G13D), EC50=42 nM) versus A375 (BRAFV600E, EC50=7 nM).

IC50 & Target[1]

MEK1

0.13 nM (Ki, +ATP)

In Vitro

GDC-0623 (RG 7421) and G-573 are able to prevent MEK phosphorylation by CRAF in vitro, and able to block MEK phosphorylation by BRAF(V600E)[1]. GDC-0623 (RG 7421) is potent, ATP-uncompetitive inhibitors of MEK1 but shows distinct shifts in cellular activity compared with the other two inhibitors, only 6-fold half-maximum effective concentration (EC50) decreases[2].

In Vivo

GDC-0623 (RG 7421) (40 mg/kg, p.o.) shows percent tumour growth inhibition (%TGI) in MiaPaCa-2 xenograft model. GDC-0623 (RG 7421) and G-573 show superior antitumour activity compared to GDC-0623 (RG 7421) in all three KRAS models[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.48 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[1]

Flag-MEK1 mutants, S212P and S212A, are generated using the QuickChange site directed mutagenesis kit. Mammalian expression vectors for N-terminal Flag tagged MEK-1 are expressed in HCT116 cells. 1.8×106 HCT116 cells are plated in 10 cm plate and transfected on the following day with 17 μg of expression constructs using lipofectamine 2000. After 48 hours cells are treated with inhibitors for the indicated times, harvested and lysed in 100 μL cell extraction buffer. Cell lysates from each sample are analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Membranes are incubated with phospho-MEK S221, phospho-ERK1/2 and MEK1 primary antibodies and immunoreactive proteins are analyzed by SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate.

Animal Administration
[1]

Colo205 xenografts are established by inoculating 5×106 cells resuspended in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) subcutaneously (s.c.) in the rear right flank of 6-8 week old female nude (nu/nu) mice. NCI-H2122 xenografts are established by inoculating 1×107 cells resuspended in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) plus matrigel (growth factor reduced) s.c. in the rear right flank of 6-8 week old female nu/nu mice. Both A375 and MiaPaca-2 xenografts are initiated by transplanting 1 mm3 tumor fragments from their respective passaged tumors s.c. into the flank of athymic nu/nu mice. When tumors reached appr 200 mm3, mice are randomized and treated with daily (QD) oral gavage (PO) with either vehicle [methylcellulose 0.1% tween 80 0.1% (MCT)], GDC-0973 (at 10 mg/kg), GDC-0623 (RG 7421) (40 mg/kg), or G-573 (100 mg/kg). All doses of MEK inhibitors represented maximal tolerated doses (MTDs), resulting in no more than 15-20% body weight loss. Tumor volumes are determined using digital calipers using the formula (L×W×W)/2. Tumor growth inhibition (%TGI) iscalculated as the percentage of the area under the fitted curve (AUC) for the respective dose group per day in relation to the vehicle. Animal weights are recorded twice per week and mice are removed from study if body weights dropped ≥20%. Partial responses (PRs) are defined as any tumor demonstrating a ≥ 50% decrease in tumor volume, whereas complete responses (CRs) are defined as any tumor demonstrating 100% reduction in tumor volume at any point during the study.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
