General information

Class/mechanism: Tyrosine kinase inhibitor of some mutated forms of BRAF serine/threonine kinase, including BRAF V600E. Also has been observed to inhibit other tyrosine kinases such as RAF1, ARAF, wild-type BRAF, SRMS, ACK1, MAP4K5, and FGR. Certain BRAF mutations, such as V600E, result in constitutive activation of cell proliferation pathways and tumor growth.[1][2][3]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a
