Synthetic organic
Comment: Pimasertib is an orally bioavailable small-molecule inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2 (MEK1/2) with potential antineoplastic activity [4]. It binds to an allosteric site, distinct from the ATP binding site [2] and as such prevents activation rather than inhibiting catalysis.
