Tunlametinib is a highly selective, orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of MEK1 and MEK2 kinases with a reported IC50 value of 1.9 nM for MEK1. Tunlametinib exerts its antitumor effects by blocking the oncogenic RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, thereby inducing tumor cell cycle arrest and promoting apoptosis, Tunlametinib demonstrates strong inhibitory activity against various RAS/RAF-mutant cancer cells such as those harboring BRAF V600E or KRAS G12C mutations, shows synergistic effects in combination with BRAF/KRASG12C/SHP2 inhibitors and Docetaxel, and is used in targeted therapy for RAS/RAF-driven cancers including melanoma, colorectal cancer, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
