NVL-520

Nuvalent’s lead compound, NVL-520, is an oral, brain-penetrant, TRK-sparing, and potential best-in-class ROS1 kinase inhibitor that recently entered Ph. II of the ARROS-1 trial (NCT05118789) in patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC. This article highlights what makes the Nuvalent’s NVL-520 program scientifically notable, including what gives it a potential best-in-class profile as a ROS1 inhibitor, the emerging toxicology of hard-to-avoid off-targets, an interesting synthetic route to the small macrocycle, and more.

vactosertib

Vactosertib is an orally bioavailable TGFβ type I receptor kinase inhibitor, that has demonstrated safety, tolerability, and clinical efficacy in combination with pomalidomide in a Ph. Ib trial for RRMM.

casdatifan (AB521)

Arcus Biosciences recently disclosed the structure and discovery story of their oral HIF-2α inhibitor casdatifan (AB521) at the ACS Fall 2024 First Time Disclosures session in Denver. Read on to find out how the team overcame serum shifts and metabolism issues to deliver into the clinic what could potentially be a best-in-class compound, superior to the recently approved inhibitor, belzutifan.

bomedemstat (MK-3543, IMG-7289)

Bomedemstat (MK-3543, IMG-7289) is Merck’s irreversible LSD1 (lysine-specific demethylase 1) inhibitor for MPNs.

seladelpar

In August 2024, seladelpar (LivdelziTM) became the first FDA-approved selective agonist of PPARδ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ), following an almost 20-year journey from the original discovery and patent publications. Originally developed by CymaBay in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson, approval was granted to Gilead Sciences following their February 2024 purchase of CymaBay Therapeutics for $4.3B. Seladelpar was approved as a second-line treatment for patients with primary biliary cholangitis.
