Bioactivity | PD184161 is an orally active MEK inhibitor. PD184161 inhibits MEK activity (IC50=10-100 nM) in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. PD184161 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. PD184161 produces depressive-like behavior[1][2]. |
Invitro | PD184161 (1-20 μM; 24, 48, or 72 hours) inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in a time and concentration dependent manner[1].PD184161 (0.1 and 1.0 μM; 1 hour) inhibits ERK1,2 phosphorylation[1].PD184161 (5 μM; 30 min) prevents the toxic effects of bicuculline[3]. Cell Proliferation Assay[1] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | PD184161 reduces tumor xenograft P-ERK levels in 3-12 hours after an oral dose[1].PD184161 (300 mg/kg; orogastric gavage twice daily for 38 days) significantly suppresses tumor engraftment and initial growth[1].PD184161 (30 mg/kg; i.p.; single injection) produces depressive-like behavior[2].PD184161 (500 μg/kg; intravenous injection) prevents the progression of neurological deficits and brain damage after stroke[3].
