Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in B-Raf kinase are common in malignant melanoma, an aggressive tumor of neuroectodermal origin. In the present study, the antiproliferative effect of the new oncogenic B-Raf targeting drug UI-152 on two types of melanoma cell lines with differing B-Raf mutational status was examined, and the underlying mechanisms were investigated. In cellular assays, UI-152 displayed high selectivity for...
