Indication:

Tafinlar (Dabrafenib)  is used to treat a certain type of metastatic melanoma (skin cancer that has spread to other parts of the body).  Tafinlar (Dabrafenib) is a cancer medication that interferes with the growth and spread of cancer cells in the body.

Mechanism of action:

Tafinlar (Dabrafenib) is an inhibitor of some mutated forms of BRAF kinases with in vitro IC50 values of 0.65, 0.5, and 1.84 nM for BRAF V600E, BRAF V600K, and BRAF V600D enzymes, respectively. Tafinlar (Dabrafenib) also inhibits wild-type BRAF and CRAF kinases with IC50 values of 3.2 and 5.0 nM, respectively, and other kinases such as SIK1, NEK11, and LIMK1 at higher concentrations. Some mutations in the BRAF gene, including those that result in BRAF V600E, can result in constitutively activated BRAF kinases that may stimulate tumor cell growth.
