RMC-6236
RMC-6236 is a non-covalent pan-RAS(ON) inhibitor from Revolution Medicines, which shows remarkable efficacy in tumors driven by RAS mutants that were previously considered “undruggable,” such as G12V/D/A/S, G13X, and Q61X. RMC-6236 exerts its action via a “tri-complex” mechanism, gluing RAS to the ubiquitously expressed chaperone protein, cyclophilin A. Our in-depth article covers the presentation given at the AACR 2024 meeting, which outlines the discovery and preclinical profile of RMC-6236 as well as the latest clinical updates.
vorasidenib
Vorasidenib (AG-881) is a brain-penetrant allosteric inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (mIDH1/2) from Agios and Celgene that made headlines summer 2023 due to its stunning efficacy for treatment of glioma in patients with mIDH1/2. This Featured Case Study reviews how it was discovered, how it works, and why it matters.
Xanamem®
Xanamem® is Actinogen Medical's cortisol-blocking drug targeting the 11β-HSD1 (11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) enzyme.
AZD4747
AZD4747 is a CNS-penetrant, oral KRAS G12C covalent inhibitor for the treatment of CNS-metastatic KRAS-mutant cancers. KRAS inhibitors have tended to be quite large and fall outside the range of physicochemical properties generally required for CNS permeability. (MW < 360 Da, cLogD < 2, TPSA < 90 Å2. AZD4747 is much smaller than marketed KRAS G12C inhibitors but maintains exceptional cellular potency. The team also encountered an unexpected toxicity that scientists working on covalents should pay attention to.
