ZM 336372 (CAT: I002601) is a compound that functions as a selective inhibitor of the RAF kinases, particularly RAF-1 and BRAF. RAF kinases are key components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth and proliferation. By inhibiting RAF kinases, ZM 336372 disrupts the MAPK signaling pathway, which can impact the growth and survival of cancer cells with aberrant RAF signaling, such as those with BRAF mutations. ZM 336372 has been investigated in preclinical and early clinical studies for its potential as an anti-cancer agent, particularly in melanoma and other malignancies where aberrant RAF signaling is implicated.
