Abstract Previous studies implicated protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) as a synthetic lethal target for MTAP-deleted (MTAP del) cancers; however, the pharmacologic characterization of small-molecule inhibitors that recapitulate phenotype has not been described. MRTX1719 selectively inhibited PRMT5 in presence MTA, which is elevated MTAP del cancers, and PRMT5-dependent activity cell viability with >70-fold selecti­vity HCT116 compared wild-type (WT) cells. demonstrated...

KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene in human cancer and facilitates uncontrolled growth through hyperactivation of RTK/MAPK pathway. The Son Sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RAS subfamily small GTPases represents druggable target Using structure-based drug discovery approach, MRTX0902 was identified selective potent SOS1 inhibitor that disrupts KRAS:SOS1 protein-protein interaction to prevent SOS1-mediated on translates...

Abstract Background: KRAS inhibitors are revolutionizing the treatment of NSCLC, but clinico-genomic determinants efficacy warrant continued exploration. Methods: Patients with advanced KRASG12C-mutant NSCLC treated adagrasib (KRYSTAL-1-NCT03785249) were included in analysis. Pre-treatment NGS data collected per protocol. HTG EdgeSeq Transcriptome Panel was used for gene expression profiling. Clinical endpoints objective response, progression-free and overall survival. cell lines xenograft...

Palliative care (PC) consultation in high-risk patients with liver disease who are undergoing transplant (LT) evaluation is underused due to common beliefs that PC would negatively impact a patient’s desire for transplant. This population at risk high morbidity, mortality, and negative overall quality of life. A 4-week pilot study was conducted surgical intensive unit single academic center increase during inpatient LT improve transitions care. Two Plan, Do, Study, Act improvement cycles...

Abstract Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is a synthetic lethal target in cancers harboring genomic deletions of the MTAP gene, which encodes enzyme methylthioadenosine phosphorylase. Approximately one four pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cases harbor homozygous deletion gene (MTAP-del), providing promising novel targeted therapy for PDAC. The (MTA)-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor BMS-986504 (previously known as MRTX1719) leverages elevated MTA levels present MTAP-del tumors...

The H1047R mutation of PIK3CA is highly prevalent in breast cancers and other solid tumors. Selectively targeting PI3KαH1047R over PI3KαWT crucial due to the role that plays normal cellular processes, including glucose homeostasis. Currently, only one PI3KαH1047R-selective inhibitor has progressed into clinical trials, while three pan mutant (H1047R, H1047L, H1047Y, E542K, E545K) selective PI3Kα inhibitors have also reached stage. Herein, we report design discovery a series...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) appears to adversely affect hepatitis C, but whether C (HCV) has a reciprocal effect on HIV-1 infection remains point of controversy. In multivariate analysis cohort 5832 individuals, we found that individuals coinfected with HCV and (prevalence coinfection, 5.8%) had CD4+ cell count decreased at rate similar for infected alone. However, coinfection was associated statistically significant increased likelihood onset an acquired syndromedefining...
