Background
PD184352 (also known as CI-1040), a benzhydroxamate derivative, is a potent and highly selective MEK1/2, two members of the family of MAPKKs, inhibitor that inhibits purified MEK1 with IC50 of 17 nM in a non-ATP and non-ERK1/2 competitive manner [1]. PD184352 binds to a hydrophobic pocket, which is located in a region with low sequence homology to other kinases, adjacent to the Mg-ATP binding site of MEK1 and MEK2 inducing a conformational change in un-phosphorylated MEK1/2 and hence inactivating the un-phosphorylated MEK1/2 [1]. PD184352 has been found to be actively against tumors, where it inhibits the growth of colon carcinomas in mouse xenograft models [1].
