Synonyms: LUT-014
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: LUT014 is a BRAF inhibitor [1]. BRAF is a component of the signalling pathway utilised by the EGFR. Inhibiting mutant BRAF in cancer cells leads to tumour shrinkage, whereas in normal cells the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is activated and proliferation is induced. This latter paradoxical effect of BRAF inhibition is being exploited to reverse inhibition of the MAPK pathway by EGFR inhibitors which is responsible for dose-limiting skin toxicity (acneiform rash) in patients treated with EGFR-targeting anti-tumour agents such as cetuximab or panitumumab.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
LUT014 is being evaluated in clinical studies to determine potential efficacy as a topically applied treatment for acneiform lesions that can develop as an on-target toxicity to EGFR inhibitor therapy [2]. |
