ARV-393

Arvinas’ ARV-393 is an orally bioavailable PROTAC that degrades BCL6 via CRBN-mediated ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation intended for the treatment of NHL. At the AACR San Diego 2024 meeting, Arvinas disclosed the structure and discovery story of this molecule, which exhibits first-in-class potential. This article covers the key SAR observations that led to the invention of this orally bioavailable PROTAC®, its performance in a triple-hit, high-grade BCL and R-CHOP-resistant cell line, and why sustaining BCL6 knockdown beyond 24 hours was critical for the success of this program.

STX-478

STX-478 is a wild-type-sparing, oral, CNS-penetrant, novel allosteric inhibitor of mutant PI3Kα (phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase α), targeting a cryptic pocket near the ATP-binding site. PI3Kα plays a central role in many cancers, and has been recently highlighted in coverage of 2021 Molecule of the Year nominee and PI3Kα degrader inavolisib. Currently approved PI3Kα modulators are limited by their off-target activities on WT PI3Kα and other kinases, leading to significant side effects including hyperglycemia and rash.

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.

Xanamem®

Xanamem® is Actinogen Medical's cortisol-blocking drug targeting the 11β-HSD1 (11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase) enzyme.

VVD-130037

KEAP1 inhibition/NRF2 activation has been hotly pursued in recent years for immunology indications; however, in oncology, NRF2 degradation has been posited as a novel therapeutic mechanism for specific cancers. Vividion has already disclosed work on covalent KEAP1 inhibitors, but at the recent ACS Fall 2024 meeting, the structure and discovery story of their clinical oral covalent activator of KEAP1 were disclosed, identified through careful analysis of the data from their inhibitor screen.
