AZ-PRMT5i-1
AZ-PRMT5i-1 is an orally bioavailable MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor that specifically targets MTAP-deleted cancers and is structurally related to AZ’s clinical candidate, AZ3470. This case study is an excellent example of utilizing bioisosteric replacements for polar guanidine headgroups, rigidifying scaffolds through spirocyclization to reduce rotatable bonds, and leveraging fluorine atoms beyond simply blocking metabolic soft spots.
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.
BBO-8520
BridgeBio’s BBO-8520 is a selective, covalent KRAS(G12C) inhibitor which differentiates itself from the pack by engaging the (ON) state of the protein, potentially conferring increased clinical benefit in KRAS(G12C)-driven cancers, including overcoming resistance to current treatments. Disclosed at the 2024 AACR Annual Meeting in San Diego, is currently in a Ph. I trial in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. This article covers the structure, mechanism of action and preclinical efficacy that marks this compound out as one to watch.
HRO761
Novartis’ HRO761 is an oral allosteric WRN helicase inhibitor, aimed at treating MSI-high and dMMR tumors. This article details the discovery of HRO761 and highlights the importance of selecting appropriate assays during early HTS as well as transferable medicinal chemistry strategies to optimize permeability and solubility through the modulation of LipE, neutral TPSA, chameleonicity, and non-classical zwitterions. It also explores the X-ray structure of HRO761 bound to WRN, how it differentiates from Vividion's VVD-214, its preclinical activity, clinical status, chemical synthesis, and more!
BMS-986408
BMS-986408 is an oral, dual DGK ⍺ and ζ inhibitor currently in a Ph. I/II trial in patients with solid tumors. The compound was identified stemming from a phenotypic screening approach, and subsequent target deconvolution revealed DGK to be the target. If approved, it would be a first-in-class intracellular checkpoint inhibitor of DGK. This is an excellent case study on how to overcome a DILI risk associated with BSEP inhibition, as well as how to improve solubility and PK properties of your compounds through the introduction of polarity, reduction of aromatic rings, and increase in f(sp3).
