Active Ingredient Description
Selumetinib

Selumetinib is a selective inhibitor of mitogen activated protein kinase kinases 1 and 2 (MEK ½). Selumetinib blocks MEK activity and the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway. Therefore, MEK inhibition can block the proliferation and survival of tumour cells in which the RAF-MEK-ERK pathway is activated.
