Raf Inhibitor

Sorafenib (Bay 43-9006) is a potent oral active multikinase inhibitor. Sorafenib blocks autophosphorylation and activity of receptor tyrosine kinases (VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3) and RAF family kinases, thereby suppressing the RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/Akt pathways, inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, and selectively inhibiting the MAPK pathway in cancer cells. Sorafenib induces cell cycle arrest, autophagy, apoptosis, and PARP cleavage, reduces Bcl-2, Bcl-XL, cyclin D1 levels, and activates Bak and Bax. Sorafenib inhibits tumor growth and metastasis in mouse and rat models. Sorafenib can be used for cancer research, such as colon, breast, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian, pancreatic, melanoma, colorectal and hepatocellular carcinoma.

SB-590885 GMP is SB-590885 (HY-10966) produced by using GMP guidelines. GMP small molecules works appropriately as an auxiliary reagent for cell therapy manufacture. SB-590885 is a BRAF/c-Raf kinase inhibitor that selectively targets B-Raf, and it amplifies the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway in RAS-activated cells. SB-590885 effectively inhibits the malignant proliferation, transformation and tumorigenicity of oncogenic B-Raf cells; it also induces the proliferation of erythroid progenitor cells, delays their differentiation and promotes hemoglobin synthesis, thereby improving ineffective erythropoiesis and reducing apoptosis. SB-590885 exerts a synergistic effect with TGF-β inhibitors and glucocorticoids, significantly promoting the formation of erythroid colonies in cells from patients with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA). SB-590885 is mainly used in relevant studies on DBA, cisplatin-induced myelosuppression-related anemia, and pan-cancers such as melanoma and colorectal cancer.

RMC-7977 is an orally active triple-complex RAS inhibitor that can simultaneously bind to cyclophilin A (CYPA) (K_d = 195 nM) and KRAS (G12V) (K_d = 292 μM). It exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activity against KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS proteins and their various wild-type and mutant variants. RMC-7977 induces apoptosis by inhibiting the phosphorylation of ERK, CRAF, and RSK, as well as increasing PARP cleavage. This leads to tumor regression, reduces resistance in KRAS^G12C cancer models, and demonstrates good tolerability across various RAS cancer models.

Encorafenib (LGX818) is a highly potent BRAF inhibitor with selective anti-proliferative and apoptotic activity in cells expressing BRAF^V600E (EC₅₀=4 nM).

SB-590885 is a BRAF/c-Raf kinase inhibitor that selectively targets B-Raf, and it amplifies the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway in RAS-activated cells.

NST-628 is a brain-permeable MAPK pathway molecule glue that inhibits RAF phosphorylation and MEK activation. NST-628 also binds RAF and prevents the formation of BRAF-CRAF and BRAF-ARAF heterodimers, effectively inhibiting the RAS-MAPK pathway. NST-628 inhibits RAS- and RAF-driven cancers and demonstrated potent inhibition in mutant KRAS, NRAS, BRAF class II/III, and NF1-mutant tumors.
