Drug Name | Trade Name | Synonyms | Drug Classes | Drug Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
MK2206 | MK-2206|MK 2206 | Akt Inhibitor (Pan) 21 | MK2206 binds to and inhibits the activity of AKT in a non-ATP competitive manner, which may result in the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 20571069, PMID: 32194695). | |
Trametinib | Mekinist | GSK1120212 | MEK inhibitor (Pan) 22 MEK1 Inhibitor 20 MEK2 Inhibitor 18 | Mekinist (trametinib) inhibits MEK 1 and 2, which potentially leads to reduced tumor cell proliferation (PMID: 27956260). Mekinist (trametinib) is FDA approved for melanoma patients harboring BRAF V600E or BRAF V600K mutations, and in combination with Tafinlar (dabrafinib) for BRAF V600E/K-mutant melanoma, BRAF V600E- mutant non-small cell lung cancer, and BRAF V600E-mutant anaplastic thyroid cancer (FDA.gov). |
