[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/BRAF_HUMAN BRAF_HUMAN] Note=Defects in BRAF are found in a wide range of cancers.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref>   Defects in BRAF may be a cause of colorectal cancer (CRC) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/114500 114500].<ref>PMID:18974108</ref>   Defects in BRAF are involved in lung cancer (LNCR) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/211980 211980]. LNCR is a common malignancy affecting tissues of the lung. The most common form of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can be divided into 3 major histologic subtypes: squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell lung cancer. NSCLC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage and has a poor prognosis.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref> <ref>PMID:12460919</ref>   Defects in BRAF are involved in non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/605027 605027]. NHL is a cancer that starts in cells of the lymph system, which is part of the body's immune system. NHLs can occur at any age and are often marked by enlarged lymph nodes, fever and weight loss.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref> <ref>PMID:14612909</ref>   Defects in BRAF are a cause of cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFC syndrome) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/115150 115150]; also known as cardio-facio-cutaneous syndrome. CFC syndrome is characterized by a distinctive facial appearance, heart defects and mental retardation. Heart defects include pulmonic stenosis, atrial septal defects and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Some affected individuals present with ectodermal abnormalities such as sparse, friable hair, hyperkeratotic skin lesions and a generalized ichthyosis-like condition. Typical facial features are similar to Noonan syndrome. They include high forehead with bitemporal constriction, hypoplastic supraorbital ridges, downslanting palpebral fissures, a depressed nasal bridge, and posteriorly angulated ears with prominent helices. The inheritance of CFC syndrome is autosomal dominant.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref>   Defects in BRAF are the cause of Noonan syndrome type 7 (NS7) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613706 613706]. Noonan syndrome is a disorder characterized by facial dysmorphic features such as hypertelorism, a downward eyeslant and low-set posteriorly rotated ears. Other features can include short stature, a short neck with webbing or redundancy of skin, cardiac anomalies, deafness, motor delay and variable intellectual deficits.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref> <ref>PMID:19206169</ref>   Defects in BRAF are the cause of LEOPARD syndrome type 3 (LEOPARD3) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613707 613707]. LEOPARD3 is a disorder characterized by lentigines, electrocardiographic conduction abnormalities, ocular hypertelorism, pulmonic stenosis, abnormalities of genitalia, retardation of growth, and sensorineural deafness.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref> <ref>PMID:19206169</ref>   Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BRAF is found in pilocytic astrocytomas. A tandem duplication of 2 Mb at 7q34 leads to the expression of a KIAA1549-BRAF fusion protein with a constitutive kinase activity and inducing cell transformation.<ref>PMID:18974108</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
One effective means to achieve inhibitor specificity for RAF kinases, an important family of cancer drug targets, has been to target the monomeric inactive state conformation of the kinase domain, which, unlike most other kinases, can accommodate sulfonamide-containing drugs such as vemurafenib and dabrafenib because of the presence of a unique pocket specific to inactive RAF kinases. We previously reported an alternate strategy whereby rigidification of a nonselective pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-based inhibitor through ring closure afforded moderate but appreciable increases in selectivity for RAF kinases. Here, we show that a further application of the rigidification strategy to a different pyrazolopyrimidine-based scaffold dramatically improved selectivity for RAF kinases. Crystal structure analysis confirmed our inhibitor design hypothesis revealing that 2l engages an active-like state conformation of BRAF normally associated with poorly discriminating inhibitors. When screened against a panel of distinct cancer cell lines, the optimized inhibitor 2l primarily inhibited the proliferation of the expected BRAF(V600E)-harboring cell lines consistent with its kinome selectivity profile. These results suggest that rigidification could be a general and powerful strategy for enhancing inhibitor selectivity against protein kinases, which may open up therapeutic opportunities not afforded by other approaches.
