CAS#: 871700-17-3

Description: Trametinib, also known as GSK1120212, is a n orally bioavailable inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK MAPK/ERK kinase) with potential antineoplastic activity. Trametinib specifically binds to and inhibits MEK 1 and 2, resulting in an inhibition of growth factor-mediated cell signaling and cellular proliferation in various cancers. MEK 1 and 2, dual specificity threonine/tyrosine kinases often upregulated in various cancer cell types, play a key role in the activation of the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway that regulates cell growth. On May 29, 2013, FDA approved T rametinib.

More Info: Antitumor activities: . Trametinib (JTP-74057) strongly inhibited MEK1/2 kinase activities, but did not inhibit another 98 kinase activities. Treatment by JTP-74057 resulted in growth inhibition accompanied with upregulation of p15INK4b and/or p27KIP1 in most of the colorectal cancer cell lines tested. Daily oral administration of JTP-74057 for 14 days suppressed tumor growth of HT-29 and COLO205 xenografts in nude mice. Notably, tumor regression was observed only in COLO205 xenografts, and COLO205 was much more sensitive to JTP-74057-induced apoptosis than HT-29 in vitro. Treatment with an Akt inhibitor enhanced the JTP-74057-induced apoptosis in HT-29 cells. Finally, JTP-74057 exhibited an additive or a synergistic effect in combination with the standard-of-care agents, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin or SN-38. JTP-74057, a highly specific and potent MEK1/2 inhibitor, exerts favorable antitumor activities in vitro and in vivo. Sensitivity to JTP-74057-induced apoptosis may be an important factor for the estimation of in vivo efficacy, and sensitivity was enhanced by an Akt inhibitor. These results suggest the usefulness of JTP-74057 in therapeutic applications for colorectal cancer patients. (source: Int J Oncol. 2011 Jul;39(1):23-31).      

Biological target: Trametinib (GSK1120212; JTP-74057) is an MEK inhibitor that inhibits MEK1 and MEK2 with IC50s of about 2 nM.
In vitro activity: Interestingly, several IAV (Influenza A virus)-induced cytokines were reduced on mRNA level in presence of Trametinib (Fig. 4A and B). The expression of IFNβ and the interferon stimulated gene (ISG) MxA was only found to be reduced by Trametinib in infected cells (Fig. 4A), but not strongly affected in vRNA-transfected cells (Fig. 4C). The results indicate that the cellular IFN response is not directly limited by Trametinib. Rather it seems to be primarily indirectly affected by reduced viral replication than being directly caused by deregulation of the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade. Indeed, expression of IFNβ and MxA are not yet described to be directly regulated by the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade. Considering Trametinib as antiviral drug it is beneficial that Trametinib does not directly alter the IFN response which is an important arm of cellular antiviral defense. A clearly decreased induction by Trametinib was also detectable for IL6, CCL5 and CXCL10 mRNA expression, which were induced by infection with PR8M/H1N1 (Fig. 4B).

In vivo activity: This study examined the mechanism by which trametinib impacts T-cell subpopulations after islet transplantation. T-cell subpopulations isolated from the liver and spleen of recipient mice on day 7, which were treated with vehicle or with 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg trametinib, were analyzed by flow cytometry (n = 3/group). The ratio of CD8+ T cells to CD4+ T cells in the liver of trametinib-treated mice tended to be lower than that in the vehicle-treated group (Figure 4A; 1-way ANOVA; P = 0.26), indicating that trametinib suppresses infiltration of the liver by CD8+ T cells. Among the different CD4+ T-cell subpopulations, trametinib increased the percentage of naive T cells (CD62L+CD44–) in the liver in a dose-dependent manner; it also reduced the percentage of effector memory T cells (CD62L-CD44+) in the liver and spleen (Figure 4B; 1-way ANOVA; all P < 0.05). By contrast, trametinib had no effect on CD8+ T-cell subpopulations in the liver or spleen (Figure 4C). These results suggest that (at least in vivo) trametinib mainly suppresses functional differentiation of CD4+ naive T cells.
