A secondary carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-(2-fluoro-4-iodoanilino)pyridine-4-carboxylic acid with the amino group of (2S)-3-aminopropane-1,2-diol. It is a potent inhibitor of the mitogen-activated protein kinases MEK1 and MEK2 with potential antineoplastic activity.
