Synonyms: SCH-772984
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: SCH772984 is an experimental inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2 [2]. The in vitro mechanism of action of SCH772984 is notable, in that it inhibits both the catalytic activity of ERK1/2 and also inhibits phosphorylation of ERK1/2. This is in contrast to other ERK inhibitors that target the ATP-binding site and thus inhibit only the catalytic activity of the kinases. The dual action of compounds like SCH772984 is predicted to block the nuclear localization of pERK and more completely suppress MAPK pathway signaling [2]. This type of inhibitor may provide improved clinical efficacy, particularly in relation to the emergence of acquired resistance that occurs in BRAF and MEK inhibitor-treated cancers. Unfortunately, SCH772984 is not active in vivo (oral or intraperitoneal administration results in poor exposure levels) [1].
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. ✖ |
