The Discovery of IACS-15414

In response to Novartis’ publication of TNO155, the Institute for Applied Cancer Science (IACS) at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center made a significant scientific contribution by unveiling their SHP2 inhibitor, designated as IACS-15414. By employing in silico screening techniques, they utilized the crystal structure of the SHP2 mutant T468 protein (4OHL) as […]

Protein Degraders in Clinical Trials

Although the rule of 5 has served as a guiding principle for medicinal discovery scientists over the course of decades, it does not confine their exploration to molecules within the physicochemical property space. Protein degraders known as PROTACs, for instance, often possess properties that deviate from Lipinski’s rule, which characterizes molecules considered suitable for drug

TNO155 Discovery

The first clinical-stage SHP2 (Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-2) inhibitor TNO155 was discovered by Novartis. The intriguing details of this discovery were documented in two consecutive papers, namely J. Med. Chem. 2016, 59, 7773−7782 and J. Med. Chem. 2020, 63, 13578−13594. During a high-throughput screening process, a known ion channel inhibitor SHP836 was identified
