Cobimetinib (R-enantiomer)(Cat No.:I005551)is a selective MEK1/2 inhibitor used in cancer treatment. MEK1/2 are key components of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth, survival, and differentiation. By inhibiting MEK1/2, cobimetinib disrupts cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis, particularly in tumors driven by mutations in the RAS/RAF pathway. The R-enantiomer is the active form of cobimetinib, providing enhanced potency and selectivity. It is commonly used in combination with targeted therapies like vemurafenib for the treatment of BRAF V600-mutated metastatic melanoma. Cobimetinib is administered orally.
