Inhibitor Comments
See the ChEMBL link on the Summary tab of the ligand page to view additional kinase targets for regorafenib.
CEP-32496 binds BRAFV600E with a Kd of 14nM, which is lower than its affinity for wild type BRAF [20]. Both CCT196969 and CCT241161 inhibit BRAFV600E with increased potency compared to wild-type- IC50 values vs. V600E are 40nM and 15nM respectively [8].
