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.
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.
VVD-214/RO7589831
VVD-214/RO7589831 is an oral covalent, reversible, and allosteric inhibitor of WRN helicase discovered by the San Diego-based biotech Vividion Therapeutics and being developed by Roche for tumors marked by microsatellite instability and/or mismatch repair deficiency. Vividion has utilized its chemoproteomics platform to discover and develop novel treatment options for oncology targets. The structure and initial preclinical pharmacology data for VVD-214 were recently disclosed at the AACR Annual Meeting 2024 in San Diego. VVD-214 is currently being evaluated in a Ph. I trial.
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.
gridegalutamide (BMS-986365, CC-94676)
BMS-986365 is a potential best-in-class heterobifunctional ligand-directed degrader of WT AR. This full case study details how this heterobifunctional degrader was engineered to have low intrinsic agonism and exert direct antagonism of WT AR through occupancy of its ligand-binding domain, how the dual modality of BMS-986365 results in deep AR pathway inhibition and allows antagonism to reinforce degradation to combat compensatory resistance mechanisms, its attractive preclinical profile, interim clinical data, how it differentiates from Arvinas’ first-to-clinic AR degraders, and more!
