Trametinib [CAS: 871700-17-3] is an inhibitor of mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (MEK1) and MEK2, taken orally. It helps to treat several cancers with BRAF mutations.
Trametinib: Use and Commercial Availability
Trametinib targets and inhibits the activity of MEK1 and MEK2 enzymes. It can be used as a monotherapy or in combination with dabrafenib, a BRAF inhibitor, to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. Cancers are treated with this medication, including non-small cell lung and thyroid cancer. Trametinib is available under the brand name Mekinist, which contains the active ingredient, Trametinib.
Trametinib Structure and Mechanism of Action
The chemical name of Trametinib is N-[3-[3-Cyclopropyl-5-[(2-fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino]-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-6,8-dimethyl-2,4,7-trioxopyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-1(2H)-yl]phenyl]acetamide. Its chemical formula is C26H23FIN5O4, and its molecular weight is approximately 615.4 g/mol.
Trametinib is a highly selective, reversible inhibitor of MEK1 (mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1) and MEK2 responsible for BRAF V600E mutations.
Trametinib Impurities and Synthesis
During the synthesis1 and storage of Trametinib, impurities can arise, including related substances, degradation products, and residual solvents. It is essential to carefully monitor and control these impurities to ensure the medication’s safety, efficacy, and overall quality.
Daicel Pharma offers a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for impurity standards such as – M7 Metabolite of Trametinib and M5 Metabolite of Trametinib. They are synthesized in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP). The CoA includes detailed characterization data, such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity, providing a thorough understanding of the impurity profile2, 3. Upon request, Daicel can also provide 13C-DEPT data for further characterization. Furthermore, Daicel Pharma possesses the technical expertise to synthesize any unknown impurities or degradation products of Trametinib. By leveraging this capability, customers gain convenient access to elemental impurities required for their research and development endeavors.
