NDI-101150
NDI-101150 is an oral HPK1 inhibitor discovered by Nimbus Therapeutics and is currently in Ph. I/II clinical trial in advanced solid tumors. HPK1 is a compelling immuno-oncology target due to its critical role in regulating T-cells, B-cells, and dendritic cell-mediated immune responses. HPK1-deficient mice demonstrate enhanced anti-tumor T-cell responses and resistance to tumor growth. In this article, we detail the discovery of NDI-101150, as highlighted by Nimbus at the ACS Fall 2024 First-Time Disclosures session, interim results from the clinic, and more.
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.
BMS-986408
BMS-986408 is an oral, dual DGK ⍺ and ζ inhibitor currently in a Ph. I/II trial in patients with solid tumors. The compound was identified stemming from a phenotypic screening approach, and subsequent target deconvolution revealed DGK to be the target. If approved, it would be a first-in-class intracellular checkpoint inhibitor of DGK. This is an excellent case study on how to overcome a DILI risk associated with BSEP inhibition, as well as how to improve solubility and PK properties of your compounds through the introduction of polarity, reduction of aromatic rings, and increase in f(sp3).
HC-7366
HiberCell recently disclosed the discovery of HC-7366, a potential first-in-class, intentionally discovered, orally bioavailable, potent, selective, small-molecule kinase activator of GCN2. HC-7366 has now progressed to Ph. I trials to treat ccRCC and AML. This case study is a fantastic example of how to mitigate CYP3A4 inhibition and improve oral bioavailability via judicious choice of salt formulation.
RMC-9805
RMC-9805 is a first-in-class, covalent KRAS(G12D)(ON) molecular glue inhibitor from Revolution Medicines that uses a cyclophilin A (CypA)-recruiting tricomplex mechanism combined with a finely tuned aziridine covalent handle to inhibit the previously “undruggable” KRAS(G12D) mutant. Read our coverage of the discovery story, disclosed at the AACR 2024 meeting in San Diego, to discover how structural and modeling insights were key to engaging a poorly nucleophilic mutant Asp, how RMC-9805 synergizes with PD-1 inhibitors, and the progress this remarkable compound is making in the clinic.
