Abstract Mutant RAS is common in pancreatic carcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal (CRC) exists predominantly the GTP-bound (RAS(ON)) state, leading to excessive downstream oncogenic signaling. KRASG12C(OFF) inhibitors have provided clinical proof of concept for targeting mutant KRAS. Preclinical data suggests inhibition RAS(ON) may be a superior therapeutic strategy. In addition, KRASG12 mutations such as KRASG12D KRASG12V remain unserved.RMC-6236...

Abstract KRASG12V mutant cancers represent a significant unmet medical need with nearly 44,000 new diagnoses annually in the US. The mutation occurs frequently multiple tumor histotypes; incidence NSCLC, CRC and pancreatic is 6%, 10% 26%, respectively. RAS proteins are small GTPases that drive cell proliferation survival when bound to GTP. Mutant exist predominantly GTP-bound (RAS(ON)) state, leading excessive downstream signaling via interaction effectors such as RAF. intrinsic GTP...

591 Background: RAS proteins (such as KRAS, NRAS, HRAS) are small GTPases that drive cell proliferation and survival when bound to GTP. Mutant exist predominantly in the GTP-bound (RAS(ON)) state, leading excessive downstream signaling via interaction with effectors such RAF kinases. Oncogenic KRAS is required for initiation, progression, maintenance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) (Hezel et al, 2006, Ying al 2012). Although extinction expression well pharmacological inhibition...

Oncogenic RAS mutations are among the most common in human cancers. To target active, GTP-bound state of RAS(ON) directly, we employed an innovative tri-complex inhibitor (TCI) modality. Formation a complex with intracellular chaperone protein CypA, inhibitor, and blocks effector binding, inhibiting downstream signaling tumor cell proliferation. Herein, describe structure-guided SAR journey that led to discovery daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), noncovalent, potent multiple mutant wild-type (WT)...

Abstract The degradation tag (dTAG) system for target protein can remove proteins from biological systems without the drawbacks of some genetic methods, such as slow kinetics, lack reversibility, low specificity, and inability to titrate dosage. These make it difficult compare toxicity resulting pharmacological interventions, especially in vivo. Because dTAG has not been studied extensively vivo, we explored use this study physiological sequalae CDK2 or CDK5 adult mice. Mice with homozygous...

Introduction In recent years, the traditional treatments for thrombotic diseases, heparin and warfarin, are increasingly being replaced by novel oral anticoagulants offering convenient dosing regimens, more predictable anticoagulant responses, less frequent monitoring. However, these drugs can be contraindicated some patients and, in particular, their bleeding liability remains high. Methods We have developed a new class of direct thrombin inhibitors (VE-DTIs) utilized kinetics, biochemical,...
