TAK-906
The Altos Therapeutics /Takeda D2/D3 receptor antagonist, TAK-906 , is a peripherally-restricted, non-BBB penetrant molecule, targeting the stomach and vomiting center in the area postrema to treat gastroparesis. Gastroparesis is a chronic condition characterized by delayed gastric emptying, resulting in nausea, vomiting, pain, and anorexia [...]
BAY 2925976
BAY 2925976 is a novel oral ARα2C antagonist developed by Bayer for the treatment of OSA (obstructive sleep apnea), a widespread condition affecting nearly one billion people globally. Despite the availability of mechanical treatments like CPAP, poor adherence rates highlight the need for more effective interventions. BAY 2925976 demonstrated a preclinical proof of concept for ARα₂C modulation as a potential therapeutic approach for OSA. In this article, we detail the discovery of BAY 2925976, as highlighted by Michael Hahn at the ACS Fall 2024 First-Time Disclosures session in Denver, CO.
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.
TAK-041
The Takeda GPR139 agonist, TAK-041 , is a CNS-penetrant GPCR agonist being explored for schizophrenia symptoms and is an interesting example of a triazinone-containing clinical candidate. GPR139 is an orphan GPCR that’s highly expressed in the human habenula, which plays a major role in avoidance behavior. Lesions in the habenula cause [...]
