Discovery of TNG462: A Highly Potent and Selective MTA-Cooperative PRMT5 Inhibitor to Target Cancers with MTAP Deletion
The gene encoding for MTAP is one of the most commonly deleted genes in cancer, occurring in approximately 10–15% of all human cancer. We have previously described the discovery of TNG908, a brain-penetrant clinical-stage compound that selectively targets MTAP-deleted cancer cells by binding to and inhibiting PRMT5 cooperatively with MTA, which is present in elevated concentrations in MTAP-deleted cells. Herein we describe the discovery of TNG462, a more potent and selective MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor with improved DMPK properties that is selective for MTAP-deleted cancers and is currently in Phase I/II clinical trials.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is a prestigious biweekly peer-reviewed publication that focuses on the multifaceted field of medicinal chemistry. Since its inception in 1959 as the Journal of Medicinal and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, it has evolved to become a cornerstone in the dissemination of research findings related to the design, synthesis, and development of therapeutic agents.
The Journal of Medicinal Chemistry is recognized for its significant impact in the scientific community, as evidenced by its 2022 impact factor of 7.3. This metric reflects the journal's influence and the importance of its content in shaping the future of drug discovery and development. The journal serves as a vital resource for chemists, pharmacologists, and other researchers interested in the molecular mechanisms of drug action and the optimization of therapeutic compounds.
