aleniglipron

The recently released WHO INN proposed names list includes the structure and name of Structure Therapeutics’ oral small molecule GLP-1R agonist, aleniglipron (GSBR-1290). Seemingly emerging from a “fast-follower” program based on Chugai/Eli Lilly’s orforglipron, the compound includes an unusual phosphine oxide motif and has shown positive results on plasma glucose levels and bodyweight in a Ph. IIa study.

"compound 6g"

“compound 6g” is an oral inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) 1 and 2, intended for the treatment of hyperglycemia. SGLT2 selective inhibitors (gliflozins) are approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes, and an SGLT1/2 dual inhibitor is expected to result in greater glycemic control. Like other SGLT inhibitors, this molecule [...]

PCO371

Chugai’s PCO371 is an oral, biased agonist and "molecular wedge" of the class B GPCR, PTHR1, that first entered development for hypoparathyroidism in 2015 (NCT02475616). While Class A GPCRs, which typically have compact ligandable pockets are the most common targets for approved drugs, Class B GPCRs like PTHR1, GLP-1R, and CGRP are notoriously difficult to drug since they normally bind large peptides with long transmembrane tunnels that are not easily bound by small molecules. This article explains what makes PCO371 a big deal for GPCR drug discovery.

compound 10

“Compound 10” (AstraZeneca) is an oral CDK5-mediated PPARγ phosphorylation inhibitor and partial PPARγ agonist being developed as an antidiabetic drug . Although widely used PPARγ agonists such as rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are effective antidiabetics, they are limited by [...]

MK-0616

Merck’s macrocyclic PCSK9 protein-protein interaction (PPI) inhibitor, MK-0616, is a once-daily PCSK9-lowering and LDL-cholesterol-lowering small molecule that has recently demonstrated antibody-like efficacy as an oral agent in the clinic. The program highlights numerous technical achievements at the forefront of modern drug discovery, and will set a standard for modern “classics in drug discovery” for some time.
