rezatapopt

As the “Guardian of the Genome,” the tumor suppressor transcription factor p53 has been a much sought-after target in oncology, with over 50% of malignancies showing mutations in p53. The p53(Y220C) mutant has been of particular interest as it creates a pocket which small molecule stabilizers are able to bind to and restore p53 function. PMV Pharma is the first to enter the clinic with their p53(Y220C) stabilizer rezatapopt, which was optimized from a hybrid of known binders and which is showing real promise against a swath of solid tumors.

TYRA-300

Tyra Biosciences’ lead asset, TYRA-300, is a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable FGFR3 inhibitor designed to mitigate the toxicities commonly seen with pan-FGFR inhibitors. A key objective of the program was to meet the safety standards required for advancing into pediatric populations for the treatment of ACH (achondroplasia) and other skeletal dysplasias. TYRA-300 is currently being evaluated in Ph. I clinical trials for advanced urothelial cancers and other solid tumors and, importantly, has received IND clearance to initiate a Ph. II clinical trial in pediatric ACH patients.

CVN293

Cerevance’s CVN293 is an oral, CNS-penetrant, selective inhibitor of potassium efflux-mediated NLRP3-inflammasome activation in microglia for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Cerevance’s NETSseq platform was used to discover a microglia-specific potassium efflux channel, KCNK13, which allows modulation of the NLRP3-inflammasome in the CNS without affecting peripheral innate immunity. Read the full article to discover highlights on the CNS-penetration of highly polar compounds and how particle size can be key to oral bioavailability

RLY-2608

RLY-2608 is an oral, mutant-selective PI3Kα allosteric inhibitor from Relay Therapeutics. Current FDA-approved PI3Kα modulator (alpelisib) and a clinically advanced molecule (inavolisib) are limited by their off-target toxicities associated with the inhibition of WT PI3Kα, leading to hyperglycemia and rash. RLY-2608 is currently in a Ph. I as a single agent and in combination with fulvestrant for HR+/HER2- breast cancer treatment. This article reviews the discovery of RLY-2608, its mechanism of mutant selectivity, how it compares to other molecules, recent clinical developments, and more.

HRO761

Novartis’ HRO761 is an oral allosteric WRN helicase inhibitor, aimed at treating MSI-high and dMMR tumors. This article details the discovery of HRO761 and highlights the importance of selecting appropriate assays during early HTS as well as transferable medicinal chemistry strategies to optimize permeability and solubility through the modulation of LipE, neutral TPSA, chameleonicity, and non-classical zwitterions. It also explores the X-ray structure of HRO761 bound to WRN, how it differentiates from Vividion's VVD-214, its preclinical activity, clinical status, chemical synthesis, and more!
