Overview
11 DESCRIPTION GOMEKLI capsules and tablets for oral suspension contain mirdametinib, a kinase inhibitor. Mirdametinib is chemically known as (R)-N-(2,3-dihydroxypropoxy)-3,4-difluoro-2-((2- fluoro-4-iodophenyl)amino) benzamide. The molecular formula is C 16 H 14 F 3 IN 2 O 4 and the molecular weight is 482.20 g/mol.
Mechanism of Action
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12.1 Mechanism of Action Mirdametinib is an inhibitor of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases 1 and 2 (MEK1/2). MEK1/2 proteins are upstream regulators of the extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) pathway. In vitro, mirdametinib inhibited kinase activity of MEK1 and MEK2 and downstream phosphorylation of ERK. In a mouse model of NF1, oral dosing of mirdametinib inhibited ERK phosphorylation and reduced neurofibroma tumor volume and proliferation. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics Mirdametinib exposure-response relationships and the time course of pharmacodynamic response are not fully characterized.
