---|---|---|---|---|
Docetaxel | Taxotere | RP56976 | Antimicrotubule Agent 12 | Taxotere (docetaxel) binds to tubulin, inhibiting microtubule disassembly and preventing cell division (PMID: 32496783, PMID: 32366558). |
Selumetinib | Koselugo | AZD6244|ARRY-142886 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 22 MEK1 Inhibitor 20 MEK2 Inhibitor 18 | Koselugo (selumetinib) inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, reducing cellular proliferation in various cancers (PMID: 27467210). Koselugo (selumetinib) is FDA approved for use in pediatric patients of 2 years or older with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) who have symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas (FDA.gov). |
