Biological Data
Biological description
Selective MEK1/MAP2K inhibitor (IC50 values are 2 and 50 µM at MEK1 and MEK2 respectively). Binds to inactivated MEK to prevent its phosphorylation by MEK kinase or c-Raf. Inhibits cell growth and proliferation and induces modest apoptosis. Also enhances embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Active in vivo .
