Abstract Currently, there are no clinically approved drugs that directly thwart mutant KRAS G12D, a major driver of human cancer. Here, we report on the discovery small molecule, KRB-456, binds G12D and inhibits growth pancreatic cancer patient-derived tumors. Protein nuclear magnetic resonance studies revealed KRB-456 GDP-bound GCP-bound conformation by forming interactions with dynamic allosteric binding pocket within switch-I/II region. Isothermal titration calorimetry demonstrated...
Both Akt 2 and acid ceramidase (ASAH1) are found aberrantly overexpressed in cancer cells, but whether these two enzymes cooperate to induce malignant transformation is not known. We that immortalized, non-transformed ectopic co-expression of Akt2 ASAH1 significantly more effective than expression each gene alone at inducing cell invasion conferring resistance apoptosis. Consistent with observations, siRNA-mediated depletion both much potent depleting inhibiting viability/proliferation...

<p>SAR studies of the inhibition KRAS G12D/GST-RBD binding. The top four confirmed hits from <a href="#fig1" target="_blank">Fig. 1</a> were all derivatives gibberellic acid and evaluated for their potency to inhibit GTP-KRAS binding by GST pulldown assays. Concentration–response experiments identified IB-21 L (KRB-456; IC<sub>50</sub> = 0.26 µmol/L) as most potent compound followed IB-21G (IC<sub>50</sub> 0.36 µmol/L), IB-21J 2.02 IIA-15D 10.82...
