CCT241161 is a novel orally available, pan-RAF inhibitor with anti-SRC activity. CCT241161 blocked growth of BRAF-mutant and NRAS-mutant melanoma cells, inhibiting MEK?–ERK, in vitro and in vivo. CCT241161 also prevented growth of xenografts derived from patient tumours with acquired or intrinsic resistance to BRAF and MEK inhibitors. BRAF and MEK inhibitors are effective in BRAF mutant melanoma, but most patients eventually relapse with acquired resistance, and others present intrinsic resistance to these drugs.

CCT241161 is an orally active pan-RAF inhibitor with IC50s of 3, 6, 10, 15 and 30 nM for LCK, CRAF, SRC, V600E-BRAF and BRAF, respectively. CCT241161 shows good activity to in BRAF and NRAS mutant melanomas. CCT241161 also exhibits anticancer cell proliferative activity[1].

CRAF: 6 nM (IC₅₀); Braf: 30 nM (IC₅₀); BRaf^V600E: 15 nM (IC₅₀); SRC: 0.01 μM (IC₅₀); LCK: 0.003 μM (IC₅₀)
