Uses
Vemurafenib selective BRAFV600E kinase inhibitor; an antitumor agent. Vemurafenib functions by inhibiting the proliferation and mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) kinase and ERK phosphorylation in a panel of tumor cell lines, including melanoma cell lines expressing BRAFV600E or other mutant BRAF proteins altered at codon 600. Potent B-Raf inhibitor
-
Clinical Use
Vemurafenib was originally discovered at Plexxikon and has
been co-developed by Roche and Plexxikon as an oral BRAF
inhibitor for the treatment of patients with BRAFV600E mutation-
positive metastatic melanoma. The drug displays good potency
and selectivity for the V600E mutation (IC50 = 3.2–14 nM), an
oncoprotein, over the wild-type BRAF (IC50 = 21–370 nM). The
compound is less potent in in vitro kinase assays than other Plexxikon
BRAF inhibitors, but it was selected for clinical development based on its enhanced potency against the BARFV600E-containing
A374 melanoma cell line.

Drug interactions
Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Anticoagulants: possibly enhances anticoagulant
effect of warfarin.
Antipsychotics: avoid concomitant use with
clozapine, risk of agranulocytosis.
Oestrogens and progestogens: contraceptive effect
possibly reduced.
