Bemcentinib | BGB 324|BGB-324|BGB324|R428|R-428 | AXL Inhibitor 29 | Bemcentinib (BGB-324) is a small molecule inhibitor of Axl, which inhibits tumor growth and may overcome EMT-mediated acquired drug resistance (PMID: 20145120, PMID: 31134766). | |
Vemurafenib | Zelboraf | RO5185426|PLX4032 | RAF Inhibitor (Pan) 27 | Zelboraf (vemurafenib) inhibits BRAF V600E, wild-type BRAF, ARAF, and CRAF (PMID: 20179705), which may result in an inhibition of the MAPK signaling pathway resulting in a reduction of tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 20823850). Zelboraf (vemurafenib) is FDA approved for BRAF V600E-mutant melanoma and for BRAF V600-positive Erdheim-Chester disease (FDA.gov). |
