Clinical update for zoldonrasib - Ras(on)G12D selective covalent inhibitor - dosed at 1200 mg qd po (MTD previously not reached). Generally well tolerated, 89% disease control rate for NSCLC patients, two promising case studies shared, but still very early days. #AACR25 @AACR

Excited to see the final version of our manuscript out in @CellChemBiol! In this study, we investigate the mechanism of action of an immunosuppressive small-molecule electrophile, which targets a core splicing factor SF3B1! @RockefellerUniv authors.elsevier.com/a/1k9mh…

Here is the summary from the three „New Drugs on the Horizon“ sessions at #AACR24 once again. What an impressive mix of drug modalities. And for the NCEs it clearly shows that chirality is the rule not the exception. The future of NCE drug discovery is bright and chiral. – at Weiterstadt, Deutschland

Holy shit! Revolution Medicines’ #KRas G12D inhibitor RMC-9805 covalently labels the oncogenic aspartate with a aziridine warhead making use of 9 (!) stereocenters to achieve potency, selectivity & stability. My thoughts & prayers are with the process chemistry team. #AACR24

It’s always a tour de force when @DanNomura presents his lab’s work, and his presentation at the @ACS_CVS Frontiers in Organic Chemistry symposium was no exception. So much potential in covalent fragment screening for TPD.
