Comment: Naporafenib (LXH254) is an investigational, potent, selective and orally bioavailable RAF inhibitor that was designed to target RAS mutant cancers, i.e.those that harbour genetic alterations in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK (MAPK) pathway [2]. It is one of the compounds claimed in Novartis' patent WO2014151616A1 [1]. Naporafenib is a Type-2 kinase inhibitor that binds the DFG-out conformation of the kinase.

Bioactivity Comments
LXH254 stabilises RAF dimerization (CRAF:BRAF dimers) in vitro, with an EC50 of 160 nM and effectively suppresses signaling [2]. Selectivity screening in the KINOMEscan® platform revealed that other than BRAF and CRAF, the only other kinases inhibited by more than 80% (at 1 μM) were PDGFRb (>99%), DDR1 (>99%) and DDR2 (>84%). This level of selectivity is an improvement in comparison to other Type 2 RAF inhibitors. In vivo anti-tumour efficacy of LXH254 has been demonstrated in the Calu-6 xenograft nude rat model.
