Submit ReviewFR 180204 is a selective ERK inhibitor (IC50 values are 0.14 and 0.31 μM for ERK2 and ERK1 respectively). Displays 30-fold selectivity for ERK over p38α (IC50 = 10 μM); displays no activity against human recombinant MEK1, MKK4, IKKα, PKCα, Src, Syc and PDGFα at concentrations less than 30 μM. Also inhibits TGFβ-induced AP-1 activation in Mv1Lu cells (IC50 = 3.1 μM).
FR 180204 is also offered as part of the Tocriscreen 2.0 Max, Tocriscreen Kinase Inhibitor Library and Tocriscreen Antiviral Library. Find out more about compound libraries available from Tocris.

Pancreatic cancer cells were pretreated for 2 hours with FR 180204 followed by conventional chemotherapeutics. MEK inhibition had an additive effect on cancer cell’s viability upon 3 days of treatment.
MG-63 cells were pre-incubated with 10 µM FR 180204 for 30 min followed by treatment with 10 µM LPA for 3 h to follow COX-2 expression using Western blot. FR 180204 inhibited COX-2 induction by LPA.
