Comment: PLX8394 is an investigational orally available, next-generation small molecule RAF inhibitor [2]. It has potential antineoplastic activity. Structurally, PLX8394 is similar to the first-generation BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib. PLX8394 inhibits wild-type and mutated forms of BRAF. PLX8394 and compounds like it have been termed 'paradox breakers' as they are designed to inhibit mutant BRAF kinase activity without activating the MAPK pathway in cells bearing upstream activation, as many of the original BRAF inhibitors are prone to do. PLX8394 is one of the compounds claimed in patent WO2014194127 [1]. This chemical structure is identical to that of the INN plixorafenib.
![]() 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. ✖ |
