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.
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. ✖ |

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. |
