Discovery of cell active macrocyclic peptides with on-target inhibition of KRAS signaling

2021-09-12

Abstract excerpt

RAS is the most commonly mutated oncogene in human cancers and RAS-driven tumors are amongst the most difficult to treat. Historically, discovery of therapeutics targeting this protein has proven challenging due to a lack of deep hydrophobic pockets to which a small molecule might bind. The single such pocket available is normally occupied by GDP or GTP which have millimolar cellular concentrations and picomolar a...
