About Antineoplastic - MEK1 and MEK2 Kinase Inhibitors.

Antineoplastic MEK1 and MEK2 kinase inhibitors are a class of targeted antineoplastic agents that selectively block the dual-specificity kinases mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 and 2.

By suppressing MEK1/2 catalytic activity, these drugs interrupt the downstream phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) within the hyperactivated RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK signaling pathway, ultimately arresting cellular proliferation and inducing apoptosis in malignant cells.

They are clinically indicated—frequently in combination with BRAF inhibitors—for the treatment of malignancies harboring specific pathway alterations, most notably BRAF-mutant advanced melanoma, BRAF-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, and anaplastic thyroid carcinoma, as well as neurofibromatosis type 1-associated inoperable plexiform neurofibromas.
