Abstract
Abrogation of errant signaling along the MAPK pathway through the inhibition of B-RAF kinase is a validated approach for the treatment of pathway-dependent cancers. We report the development of imidazo-benzimidazoles as potent B-RAF inhibitors. Robust in vivo efficacy coupled with correlating pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PKPD) and PD-efficacy relationships led to the identification of RAF265, 1, which has advanced into clinical trials.Entities:
