sovleplenib (HMPL-523)

Sovleplenib (HMPL-523) is an orally bioavailable Syk inhibitor being developed by HUTCHMED and is currently in Ph. II and Ph. III clinical trials for several autoimmune diseases. Derived from an HTS hit and SAR optimization, the discovery story of sovleplenib serves as an excellent case study on how to design a next-generation Syk inhibitor devoid of off-target kinase activity, mitigated hERG activity, and more.

AZD4144

Recently, a surge of (pre)clinical compounds inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome, often featuring a hexahydroindacene ring system, has emerged, including Nodthera’s ND-0796. In a push for new chemotypes, AZ and Mitsubishi Tanabe have disclosed their clinical compound, AZD4144, which is currently in Ph. I trials in healthy volunteers. The discovery story detailed their efforts to overcome PLD (phospholipidosis), genotoxicity, and hERG inhibition in a non-classical pharmacophore series. The discovery was presented by Anders Johansson at the EFMC-ISMC 2024 Meeting in Rome.

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-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.

cadazolid

CDI (Clostridioides difficile) infection is a leading cause of healthcare-associated diarrhea with significant morbidity and mortality, and with the rise of hypervirulent and resistant strains, novel and selective antibiotics to treat these infections are needed. Cadazolid, a hybrid antibiotic that combines pharmacophores of two classes of antibacterials, demonstrated potent activity in vitro against relevant C. difficile strains, while avoiding native gut flora. Additionally, the compound was designed to be gut-restricted, with minimal systemic circulation following PO dosing.
