Comment: GDC-0623 (RG-7420) is an ATP-uncompetitive MEK1 inhibitor that was developed by Genentech for anti-cancer potential [3]. The structure of GDC-0623 was disclosed for the first time in 'Supplementary Figure 1a' provided with Hatzivassiliou et al. (2013) [2].
![]() 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 ![]() |
A single Phase 1 safety, tolerability and PK clinical trial of GDC-0623 was completed in patients with advanced/metastatic solid tumours (NCT01106599), but the lack of further activity suggests that development of this candidate has been discontinued. |
Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects ![]() |
The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway (the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade) is one of the most important pathways involved in cell proliferation and differentiation, and abberant pathway activation driven by K-Ras or B-Raf mutations in tumours is common. Hence, drug companies have long been developing inhibitors of components of the MAPK pathway as cancer chemotherapeutics [1]. |
