AZD6244 is a potent, highly selective inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinases MEK1 (IC₅₀ = 14 nM) and MEK2 (Kd = 530 nM; Yeh et al.; Davis et al.). It is a tight-binding noncompetitive inhibitor that does not bind in the ATP binding pocket of MEK (Huynh et al.). It also shows micromolar binding to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; Davis et al.).
