Abstract excerpt
We examined the therapeutic potential of a novel MEK inhibitor, RDEA119, and its synergism with the mTOR inhibitor, temsirolimus, in thyroid cancer cell lines. RDEA119 potently inhibited the proliferation of the 4 cell lines that harbored BRAF mutation but had no or modest effects on the other 4 cells that harbored wild-type BRAF (IC(50) of 0.034-0.217 μM vs. 1.413-34.120 μM). This inhibitory effect of RDEA119 in...
