• Description

  N-[3-[5-(2-Amino-4-pyrimidinyl)-2-(tert-butyl)-4-thiazolyl]-2-fluorophenyl]-2,6-difluorobenzenesulfonamide is well known as dabrafenib. It is a drug for the treatment of cancers associated with a mutated version of the gene BRAF. Dabrafenib acts as an inhibitor of the associated enzyme B-Raf, which plays a role in the regulation of cell growth. Dabrafenib has clinical activity with a manageable safety profile in clinical trials of phase-I and -II in patients with BRAF(V600)-mutated metastatic melanoma^1,2. Its mechanism of action is acted as a Protein Kinase Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2B6 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C8 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C9 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 2C19 Inducer, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B1 Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporting Polypeptide 1B3 Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporter 1 Inhibitor, and Organic Anion Transporter 3 Inhibitor, and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein Inhibitor^3,4. It is not indicated for the treatment of patients with wild-type BRAF melanoma or wild-type BRAF NSCLC. MEKINIST is not indicated for the treatment of patients with melanoma who have progressed on prior BRAF-inhibitor therapy⁵. ;

• Synthetic Methods

  The key step in the synthesis of Dabrafenib is the construction of the 1,3-thiazole ring, which is usually carried out by the closing ring directly of thioamide (as a 1,3-binuclear reagent) and anα-carbonyl halide (as a 1,2-amphiphilic reagent). Sulfonyl chloride 1 and aniline 2 gave sulfonamide 3 under basic conditions. Methyl pyrimidine 4 with non-nucleophilic strong alkali LiHMDS pull out the acid proton on the methyl and react with 3 to obtain 5, and the latter has α-bromination with NBS to obtain 1,2-amphiphilic reagent 6, and then 6 reacts with 1 , 3-parent nucleotides 7 to close the ring to obtain 8, and finally reacts with ammonia to obtain Dabrafenib.

• Biological activity

  Dabrafenib (GSK2118436) is a mutant BRAFV600 specific inhibitor with an IC50 of 0.8 nM, and effects for B-Raf (wt) and c-Raf is 4 and 6 fold lower respectively.;

• How to use

  It is usually taken twice a day on an empty stomach, 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Take dabrafenib about 12 hours apart at around the same times every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Do not stop taking dabrafenib without talking to your doctor.
  Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.
  Your doctor may adjust your dose of dabrafenib depending on your response to treatment and any side effects that you experience. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling during your treatment.;

• Major Side Effects

  The following side effects are common (occurring in greater than 30%) for patients taking dabrafenib :
  
  • Hyperglycemia
  • Hyperkeratosis
  • Hypophosphatemia
  • Headache
  
  These side effects are less common side effects (occurring in about 10-29%) of patients receiving dabrafenib:
  
  • Fever
  • Joint pain
  • Papilloma (warts/growths)
  • Hair loss
  • Hand-foot syndrome (Palmar-planter erythrodyesthesia)
  • Increased Alkaline phosphatase
  • Rash
  • Back pain
  • Cough
  • Muscle aches
  • Constipation
  • Nasopharyngitis
  ;

• In vitro

  Dabrafenib is selective for Raf kinases and is 400 times more active against B-Raf than other tested 91% kinases. Dabrafenib inhibits B-RafV600E kinase, resulting in reduced phosphorylation of ERK and inhibition of cell proliferation. The cells stagnate in the G1 phase in cancer cells that specifically encode mutated B-RafV600E.;

• In vivo

  Dabrafenib (oral) inhibits the growth of B-RafV600E mutated melanoma (A375P). Dabrafenib (oral) also inhibits tumor growth, subcutaneously injecting colon cancer (Colo205) in immunocompromised mice.;
