Pimasertib (5, 0.5, and 0.1 μM) specifically blocks ERK1/2 activation in MM cells, cultured alone or with BMSCs. Pimasertib inhibits the growth of MM cell lines in a dose-dependent manner, with IC50s ranging from 0.005 to 2 μM. The IC50s of Pimasertib against INA-6, U266, H929 cells are 10 nM, 5 nM, 200 nM respectively. Pimasertib induces apoptosis and modulates the cell cycle profile. Pimasertib targets MM cells in the BM microenvironment[1].
Pimasertib (10 μmol/L) inhibits ERK pathway, proliferation, and transformation in cetuximab-resistant D-MUT cells[2].
Pimasertib in combination with PLX4032 significantly induces apoptosis of RPMI-7951 cells, whereas each drug used alone does not. Pimasertib synergizes with small interfering RNA-mediated downregulation of BRAF to produce results similar to those of combined treatment with PLX4032 and Pimasertib[3].

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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.80 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.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.80 mM); Clear solution

Protocol
The inhibitory effects of study compounds on MM cell growth and survival are assessed by both [3H]thymidine incorporation and by measuring MTT dye absorbance. Cells (104/well for MM cell line, in triplicates and 2-5×105/well for patient MM cells) are cultured in 96-well plates for 3 days (MM cell lines) or 5-days (patient MM cells). For the [3H]thymidine incorporation assay, cells are pulsed with 0.5 μCi (0.0185 MBq)/well [3H]thymidine for 6 h (cell lines), harvested onto glass fiber filters, and counted in a β-scintillation counter. Due to low DNA synthesis of patient MM cells, they are pulsed with 2 μCi/well [3H]thymidine and measured during the last 36 h of culture.

CB17 severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice are subcutaneously inoculated with H929 (4×106) cells in 100 μL RPMI-1640 medium. Mice developed palpable tumors (appr 130 mm3) approximately 3 weeks after cell injection and are randomized to receive orally twice daily either Pimasertib (15 or 30 mg/kg) or control vehicle alone. Tumor size is measured every other day in 2 dimensions using calipers, and tumor volume is calculated. Animals are euthanized when their tumors reach 2 cm3 in volume, when they are moribund or show paralysis or major compromise in their quality of life occurs. Tumor formation changes in mice treated with control vehicle vs. Pimasertib are plotted using the GraphPad Prism version 4.03 for Windows. Tumors are subjected to immunoblotting and immunochemistry analyses using specific monoclonal (m)Abs. Images are examined with a Leica DM LB research microscope, captured using Leica IM50 Image Manager, and processed using Adobe Photoshop Software version 7.0.
