PF-07328948
Pfizer disclosed the structure and discovery of their oral small molecule BDK inhibitor/degrader, PF-07328948, during the ACS Fall 2024 First-Time Disclosures session in Denver. The team identified a thiophene carboxylic acid-based hit targeting an allosteric pocket on BDK. Through optimization, they overcame challenges such as potential IADRs and BDK-E2 complex stabilization. By manipulating the dihedral angle of the methoxy group, they enhanced binding interactions, verifying PF-07328948's unexpected mechanism of action in vivo. PF-07328948 is currently Ph. I trials.
AZD0780
AstraZeneca recently disclosed the structure and discovery journey of their oral small molecule PCSK9 inhibitor, AZD0780, during the ACS Fall 2024 First Time Disclosures session in Denver. Discover how the team identified a fragment hit targeting a previously unexplored pocket, verified its novel mechanism of action, and successfully advanced it into a clinical compound now in Ph. II trials for patients with dyslipidemia.
vorasidenib
Vorasidenib (AG-881) is a brain-penetrant allosteric inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenases 1 and 2 (mIDH1/2) from Agios and Celgene that made headlines summer 2023 due to its stunning efficacy for treatment of glioma in patients with mIDH1/2. This Featured Case Study reviews how it was discovered, how it works, and why it matters.
NT-0796
NT-0796 is NodThera's pro-drug inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome. NT-0796 is currently in a Ph. Ib/IIa trial in obese individuals at risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. NT-0796 has the potential to reduce neuroinflammation in Parkinson’s disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome has emerged as a hot target due to its connection to Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, gout, and other diseases. Here is a detailed review of the role of NLRP3 inhibition in treating atherosclerosis, how NT-0796 was identified, and what makes it special, clinical development, and more.
