aficamten
The Cytokinetics next-generation myosin inhibitor, aficamten , is a phase II candidate for genetic hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, and is orally dosed between 5-30 mg QD. It follows BMS’s mavacamten ( acquired from Myokardia in a $13.1B deal), whose NDA is under review by the FDA. This class of molecules is intended to address hypertrophic [...]
asundexian (BAY2433334)
asundexian (BAY2433334) is a reversible Factor XIa active site inhibitor previously disclosed at the 2021 EFMC-ISMC conference . This article highlights the Ph. I data of asundexian in healthy volunteers, showing that the drug is well tolerated, with no clinically relevant bleeding-related adverse events or any relevant CYP3A4 modulation. The [...]
MK-8262
The Merck CETP inhibitor backup, MK-8262 , is potential best-in-class CETP inhibitor, which was only discontinued as a backup due to the success of its predecessor, anacetrapib in Ph. III. Reviewer Kim Huard thought this CETP inhibitor was a great piece of work from Merck, and is a great example how to deal with a very lipophilic binding site [...]
NVL-520
Nuvalent’s lead compound, NVL-520, is an oral, brain-penetrant, TRK-sparing, and potential best-in-class ROS1 kinase inhibitor that recently entered Ph. II of the ARROS-1 trial (NCT05118789) in patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC. This article highlights what makes the Nuvalent’s NVL-520 program scientifically notable, including what gives it a potential best-in-class profile as a ROS1 inhibitor, the emerging toxicology of hard-to-avoid off-targets, an interesting synthetic route to the small macrocycle, and more.
