Description: Selumetinib, also known as AZD6244, is an orally bioavailable small molecule with potential antineoplastic activity. Selumetinib inhibits mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MEK or MAPK/ERK kinases) 1 and 2, which may prevent the activation of MEK1/2-dependent effector proteins and transcription factors, and so may inhibit cellular proliferation in MEK-overexpressing tumor cells.

Synonym: AZD6244; AZD-6244; AZD 6244; ARRY142886; ARRY 142886; ARRY-142886; ARRY886; ARRY-886; ARRY 886 ; selumetinib.
