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.
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.
