Nuclear receptor and atpase ligands: MarsRecent Research Landscape

Mutated KRAS proteins are notoriously difficult to bind, leading to poor treatment outcomes in oncology. These specific tricyclic and sulfonylpyridine scaffolds provide the precise molecular geometry required to irreversibly inhibit the KRAS G12C pocket.

What technical problems is Mars addressing in Nuclear receptor and atpase ligands?

Insufficient therapeutic circulation time

(8)evidences

Rapid degradation or clearance of therapeutic components limits treatment efficacy. Extending biological half-life and improving targeting prevents premature loss of activity.

Uncontrolled pathological cellular proliferation

(8)evidences

Unregulated signaling through KRAS, CCR6, and CB1 pathways leads to oncogenic growth and inflammatory tissue damage. Inhibiting these specific interactions prevents disease progression driven by aberrant protein activity.

Vascular endothelial dysfunction

(6)evidences

Endothelial dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension are driven by insufficient nitric oxide production or high oxidative stress in the vasculature. Addressing this failure mode restores normal blood flow and prevents tissue ischemia.

Inaccurate therapeutic response prediction

(4)evidences

Clinical outcomes in pancreatic and liver cancers are hindered by an inability to predict which patients will respond to specific anticancer therapies. Identifying these sensitivities allows for the mitigation of ineffective treatment cycles and disease progression.
