Imofinostat


Imofinostat

CAS 1338320-94-7

MF C17H16N2O4S MW 344.4 g/mol

  • 3-(1-(Benzenesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl)-N-hydroxyacrylamide
  • (E)-3-[1-(benzenesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydroindol-5-yl]-N-hydroxyprop-2-enamide

(2E)-3-[1-(benzenesulfonyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-5-yl]-N-hydroxyprop2-enamide
histone deacetylase inhibitor, antineoplastic, ABT-301, MPT0E028, ABT 301, MPT0E 028, T65L58FI65

Imofinostat (also known as ABT-301 or MPT0E028) is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor primarily being developed as an innovative precision oncology treatment. Developed by companies like AnBogen Therapeutics and Formosa Pharmaceuticals, it is designed to reactivate tumor suppressor genes that cancer cells have silenced, thereby triggering cancer cell death (apoptosis) and stopping tumor growth.

Mechanism of Action

Imofinostat works through a distinct multi-modality approach to fight cancer cells:

  • HDAC Inhibition: It acts as a potent inhibitor of human pan-histone deacetylase enzymes, showing preferential selectivity for Class I HDACs (especially HDAC3). This blocks the deacetylation of histone proteins, causing chromatin to remodel and forcing cancer cells to express tumor-suppressor genes.
  • Akt Pathway Targeting: Independent of its epigenetic effects, it can directly target and reduce the activation (phosphorylation) of the Akt protein kinase, a major pathway that cancer cells use to survive and multiply.
  • Microenvironment Modulation: Preclinical data shows it alters the tumor microenvironment by converting “cold tumors” (invisible to the immune system) into “hot tumors” by promoting the infiltration of CD8+ cytotoxic T cells.

Current Clinical Status & Indications

Imofinostat is actively moving through clinical trial pipelines, focusing heavily on combination therapies to overcome treatment resistance:

  • Colorectal Cancer (CRC): It is currently being evaluated in a global Phase 1/2 clinical trial (NCT07244705). It is combined with the immune checkpoint inhibitor tislelizumab (Tevimbra®) and the anti-angiogenic drug bevacizumab to treat advanced, metastatic colorectal cancer.
  • Pancreatic Cancer: Recent data presented at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting demonstrates that imofinostat disrupts the HDAC3-NRF2 pathway. This action breaks down chemotherapy resistance in highly aggressive KRAS-mutant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, making tumors much more sensitive to treatments like gemcitabine.
  • Other Solid Tumors: Phase 1 monotherapy trials have confirmed that the drug possesses a highly competitive safety profile across a broad variety of advanced solid tumors.

Imofinostat is an orally bioavailable N-hydroxyacrylamide-derived inhibitor of both human pan-histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes and the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, imofinostat selectively binds to and inhibits HDACs, which inhibits deacetylation of histone proteins and leads to the accumulation of highly acetylated histones. This may result in both an induction of chromatin remodeling, and the selective transcription of tumor suppressor genes. This prevents cell division and induces both cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which may inhibit the proliferation of susceptible tumor cells. In addition, imofinostat inhibits the phosphorylation and activation of Akt, which prevents the activation of downstream signaling pathways, independent of its HDAC inhibitory activity. HDACs, upregulated in many tumor cell types, are a family of enzymes that deacetylate histone proteins. Akt, overexpressed in many tumor cell types, plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation and survival.

epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, antineoplastic, DBPR 112, ABT 101, 6G0COS33K4

Gozanertinib (also known as DBPR112 or ABT-101) is an orally bioavailable, advanced small-molecule dual kinase inhibitor designed to treat advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). It targets alterations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) families.

Mechanism of Action

Gozanertinib is a furanopyrimidine-based tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It functions by entering the ATP-binding pocket of the receptor and forming an irreversible covalent bond with a specific cysteine residue (Cys797). By permanently blocking these receptors, it halts downstream oncogenic signaling pathways—specifically the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT cascades—thereby inducing cancer cell death and suppressing tumor expansion.

Target Profile and Key Mutations

Unlike earlier generations of tyrosine kinase inhibitors that only target standard configurations, gozanertinib is optimized to combat specific treatment-resistant mutations:

  • EGFR Mutations: It effectively targets wild-type EGFR as well as the dual L858R/T790M resistance mutations.
  • Exon 20 Insertions: A standout feature of gozanertinib is its preclinical potency against EGFR and HER2 exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) mutations. According to chemical development findings published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, it demonstrated ten times better potency against these specific insertions than the widely used third-generation inhibitor, osimertinib.

Development and Status

The drug was initially discovered through scaffold optimization by the National Health Research Institutes (NHRI) and is being co-developed with Anbogen Therapeutics. The International Nonproprietary Name (INN) “gozanertinib” was formally proposed for the compound in early 2025. Preclinical evaluations indicated favorable oral bioavailability and strong anti-tumor efficacy compared to older inhibitors like afatinib, advancing the compound into early-phase clinical trials

Gozanertinib is an orally bioavailable dual kinase inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; EGFR2; ErbB2), including EGFR L858R, EGFR T790M and HER2 exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) mutations, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, gozanertinib targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of EGFR or HER2 insertions or mutations. This prevents EGFR/HER2-mediated signaling, which may induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR/HER2-overexpressing tumor cells. The ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family is involved in key cellular functions, including cell growth and survival. EGFR and HER2 alterations constitutively upregulate kinase activity.

CAS 2604513-16-6

MF C25H26F4N8O2 MW 546.5 g/mol

(S)-1-((R)-3-Amino-1-(4-((6-amino-9H-purin-9-yl)methyl)-6-(2,5-difluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)pyridin-3-yl)piperidin-3-yl)-2,2-difluoroethan-1-ol

Gintemetostat (also known as KTX-1001) is a first-in-class, orally administered small molecule being developed to treat relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. It works as a selective inhibitor of NSD2 (also known as MMSET), targeting the epigenetic drivers of high-risk cancers.

How it Works

  • Mechanism: Gintemetostat selectively binds to the catalytic SET domain of the NSD2 enzyme.
  • Effect: By blocking this enzyme, it downregulates oncogenic signaling, decreases cancer cell growth, and can enhance T-cell activation against the tumor.

Target Patient Population

  • High-Risk Myeloma: The drug focuses heavily on patients harboring the t(4;14) translocation, a genetic alteration found in 10-15% of patients that often causes aggressive relapses.
  • Refractory Cases: It has shown notable single-agent activity in heavily pretreated patients who have exhausted standard-of-care, triple-class refractory treatment options.

Current Clinical Status

  • Phase 1 Trial: Early data from phase 1 trials (such as NCT05651932) showed the drug has manageable safety profiles and offers clinical benefit (ranging from stable disease to very good partial response) in patients with aggressive, hard-to-treat multiple myeloma.
  • Future Developments: Researchers are expanding studies to pair gintemetostat with other standard myeloma treatments, such as proteasome inhibitors and CELMoDs, to create stronger synergistic anti-cancer effects.


Gintemetostat is an orally available small molecule inhibitor of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase nuclear receptor-binding SET domain protein 2 (NSD2; MMSET; WHSC1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, gintemetostat selectively targets and binds to NSD2, and inhibits its catalytic activity and the mono- and di-methylation of histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36). This modulates the expression of genes involved in cellular processes including cellular proliferation, which may lead to decreased growth of cancer cells. NSD2, a member of the NSD family of histone lysine methyltransferase enzymes that catalyzes the mono- and di-methylation of H3K36, is overexpressed and dysregulated in many types of cancers.

KPG-818, KPG 818, ANTINEOPLASTIC, KV0TBL8MUS

Epaldeudomide (also known as KPG-818) is an investigational, next-generation immunomodulatory drug and “molecular glue” developed by Kangpu Biopharmaceuticals. Designed as a targeted therapy, it works by binding to the CRL4-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to degrade specific proteins, showing promise in treating blood cancers, solid tumors, and autoimmune diseases.

Mechanism of Action

  • Molecular Glue: It is a small molecule that acts as a modulator of the cereblon (CRBN) E3 ligase.
  • Protein Degradation: It targets and induces the rapid degradation of two Ikaros zinc-finger transcription factors: IKZF3 (Aiolos) and IKZF1 (Ikaros).
  • Immunomodulation: By degrading these targets, epaldeudomide triggers broad-spectrum immune responses, reduces tumor proliferation, and suppresses inflammation (such as the production of TNF-\(\alpha \)).

Therapeutic Pipeline and Research

Epaldeudomide is currently undergoing clinical evaluation to assess its safety, tolerability, and efficacy.

  • Hematology/Oncology: It is being studied for the treatment of hematologic malignancies (such as multiple myeloma and lymphomas). It demonstrates potent anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic activity without several severe side effects typically associated with earlier immunomodulatory drugs.
  • Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders: Because of its broad anti-inflammatory effects and ability to inhibit TNF-\(\alpha \), it is being explored for use against autoimmune conditions and inflammatory arthritis.

Enozertinib


Enozertinib

CAS 2489185-38-6

MF C35H42F2N8O3 MW660.8

N-[2-[4-(4-cyclopropylpiperazin-1-yl)piperidin-1-yl]-5-[[6-[(3R)-3-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-1,2-oxazolidin-2-yl]pyrimidin-4-yl]amino]-4-methoxyphenyl]prop-2-enamide

epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, antineoplastic, ORIC-114, ORIC 114, DU24UP8R94

Enozertinib (formerly ORIC-114) is an investigational, orally bioavailable, and brain-penetrant dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitor developed by ORIC Pharmaceuticals. It targets cancers with exon 20 insertion and atypical EGFR mutations. Its core profile highlights its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.

How it Works

Enozertinib acts as an irreversible, mutant-selective covalent inhibitor. By blocking overactive EGFR and HER2 signaling, it induces cell death and inhibits tumor growth. Because it penetrates the central nervous system (CNS), it is uniquely suited to treat both primary brain tumors and brain metastases—a common complication in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Enozertinib is an orally bioavailable, central nervous system (CNS) penetrating, mutant-selective covalent inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB1) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2; EGFR2; ErbB2) alterations, including exon 20 insertion (Ex20ins) mutations, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, enozertinib selectively targets, irreversibly binds to and inhibits the activity of EGFR or HER2 insertions or mutations. This prevents EGFR/HER2-mediated signaling. This may induce cell death and inhibit tumor growth in EGFR/HER2-overexpressing tumor cells. Enozertinib is able to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and may therefore exert its activity against EGFR Ex20ins-driven CNS primary tumors and CNS metastases. The ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase family is involved in key cellular functions, including cell growth and survival. EGFR and HER2 alterations constitutively upregulate kinase activity.

Elisrasib (D3S-001) is a next-generation, orally available KRAS G12C inhibitor developed by D3 Bio that demonstrates high potency, sustained target engagement, and strong clinical activity in advanced solid tumors, including those resistant to first-generation inhibitors. As of April 2026, clinical trials show it has a 52% objective response rate (ORR) in G12C inhibitor-naive patients and a 30% ORR in refractory populations.

Key Aspects of Elisrasib (D3S-001):

  • Mechanism of Action: It is a highly potent, covalent inhibitor that selectively binds the GDP-bound (inactive) form of the KRAS G12C mutant, effectively halting tumor cell proliferation and metastasis.
  • Superior Efficacy: Preliminary data suggests elisrasib may be more potent than earlier inhibitors like sotorasib and adagrasib, providing higher target occupancy at lower doses.
  • Clinical Performance (AACR 2026 Data):
    • Naive Patients: 52% ORR, with a median duration of response (mDOR) of 16.5 months and median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 12.2 months at the 600 mg dose.
    • Refractory Patients: 32% ORR, with a mDOR of 15.6 months and mPFS of 8.1 months.
  • Targeted Cancers: Clinical trials are focused on KRAS G12C-mutant tumors, specifically non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), colorectal cancer (CRC), and other solid tumors.
  • Safety Profile: The drug has shown good tolerability and a safe profile in early studies.

Elisrasib is in Phase 1/2 development and was highlighted for its promising results in treating patients with KRAS G12C-mutant tumors

Elisrasib is an orally bioavailable inhibitor of the oncogenic KRAS substitution mutation G12C, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, elisrasib selectively targets the KRAS G12C mutant and inhibits KRAS G12C-mediated signaling. This may halt proliferation and metastasis in susceptible tumor cells. KRAS, a member of the RAS family of oncogenes, serves an important role in cell signaling, division and differentiation. Mutations of KRAS may induce constitutive signal transduction leading to tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.

Elironrasib (RMC-6291) is an investigational, orally bioavailable, RAS(ON) G12C-selective inhibitor developed by Revolution Medicines that targets the active GTP-bound form of KRAS G12C. In Phase 1 trials, it showed significant promise in treating advanced KRAS G12C-mutated solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). [1, 2, 3]

Key Clinical Trial Results (as of Oct 2025):

  • Response Rate: 42% objective response rate (ORR).
  • Disease Control: 79% disease control rate (DCR).
  • Durability: Median duration of response was 11.2 months.
  • Survival: Median progression-free survival was 6.2 months.
  • Overcoming Resistance: Demonstrated efficacy in patients who had previously progressed on first-generation KRAS G12C(OFF) inhibitors.

Mechanism of Action:
Elironrasib acts as a covalent tri-complex inhibitor (TCI). It forms a complex with the intracellular chaperone protein cyclophilin A (CypA) and the active KRAS G12C(GTP) protein, effectively shutting down oncogenic signaling.

Development Status:

  • Designation: It has received FDA breakthrough therapy designation for KRAS G12C-mutant NSCLC.

Elironrasib is an orally bioavailable, covalent inhibitor of the active, guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound form of the oncogenic KRAS substitution mutation G12C, KRAS G12C(ON), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, elironrasib forms a tri-complex with the intracellular chaperone protein and immunophilin cyclophilin A (CypA) and KRAS G12C(ON). This tri-complex inhibits KRAS G12C(ON)-mediated signaling, which may inhibit tumor cell proliferation. KRAS, a member of the RAS family of oncogenes, serves an important role in cell signaling, division and differentiation. Mutations of KRAS may induce constitutive signal transduction leading to tumor cell growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.

To a 50 L glass reactor was charged Compound 15 (1.91 kg, 1.0 eq) and DMF (13.9 kg). The mixture was agitated at 20-30° C. until all of the solids were dissolved. Compound 2 (1.70 kg, 1.2 eq) and DMF (3.8 kg) were charged. The mixture was agitated at 20-30° C. until all of the solids were dissolved. DIPEA (2.20 kg, 5.50 eq) was charged at 20-30° C. and the mixture was cooled to −20-−10° C. under agitation. Ethyl cyanoglyoxylate-2-oxime (Oxyma) (0.48 kg, 1.1 eq) was charged to the reactor and the reaction mixture was agitated at −20 to −10° C. for 30 min. PyBOP was charged as a DMF solution (1.89 kg dissolved in 3.62 kg DMF, 1.2 eq) to the reactor at −20 to −10° C. in </=1 h. The reaction mixture was agitated at −20 to −10° C. for 1-3 h. Reaction monitoring by HPLC showed the reaction was complete.
      The crude reaction mixture was diluted with EtOAc (3.6 kg) and partitioned with a mixture of EtOAc (65 kg) and brine (25 wt %, 132 kg). The biphasic mixture was agitated at 20-30° C. for 1 h and filtered through a pad of diatomite. EtOAc (11 kg) was used to rinse the reactor and spent filter aid wet cake. The combined filtrates were allowed to stand for 1 h before the phases were separated. The organic layer was washed once with brine (25 wt %, 90 kg×2). HCl (0.6 M aqueous solution, 71 kg) was charged to the isolated organic layer at 5-20° C. The biphasic mixture was agitated at 10-20° C. for 1 h. The phases were separated, and the upper lean organic phase was extracted with HCl (0.6 M aqueous solution, 30 kg). The combined rich aqueous phases were washed three times with EtOAc (34 kg×3). To the washed aqueous phase was charged EtOAc (34 kg) and the pH was adjusted to pH 9-10 by charging Na 2CO aqueous solution (30 wt %) at 10-20° C. The mixture was agitated at 10-20° C. for 1 h and the phases were separated. The lean aqueous phase was extracted with EtOAc (34 kg), and the combined rich organic phases were washed twice with brine (25 wt %, 90 kg×2). The resulting organic layer was then washed with a solution of acetic acid in brine (prepared by dissolving 0.23 kg glacial acetic acid and 8 kg 25 wt % brine in 115 kg water) (39 kg×2), a solution of Na 2CO in brine (prepared by dissolving 1.3 kg Na 2CO and 8 kg 25 wt % brine in 31 kg water) (40 kg), and brine (25 wt %, 92 kg), respectively. The crude organic solution was then treated with CUNO® by filtering through a cartridge and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure at NMT 40° C. to ˜30 L. The crude residue was then crystallized by charging n-heptane (57 kg) with seed (0.040 kg).
      The crude product was then further purified by recrystallization with a mixture of EtOAc and n-Heptane to give purified Compound A as a white solid.

4-[2-(cyclopropanesulfonamido)pyrimidin-4-yl]-N-[5-(6-ethoxypyrazin-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl]oxane-4-carboxamide
CTP synthase 1 inhibitor, antineoplastic, STP 938, CTPS1-IN-2, QG9C9SZZ3T

Dencatistat (formerly known as STP938) is a first-in-class, orally bioavailable cancer drug designed to target specific blood cancers and solid tumours

Dencatistat is an orally bioavailable, small molecule inhibitor of cytidine triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, dencatistat targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of CTPS1, thereby decreasing the production of cytidine triphosphate (CTP), an essential building block of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). This may disrupt DNA and RNA synthesis and trigger apoptosis. CTPS1, an enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step in pyrimidine synthesis, plays an important and nonredundant role in B-cell and T-cell proliferation. CTPS1 is required for rapid cell division in certain types of cancers that arise from blood cells.

Mechanism of Action

It works by inhibiting CTPS1 (Cytidine Triphosphate Synthase 1), a key enzyme that cancer cells “addicted” to for DNA synthesis.

  • Targeted approach: It aims to kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed by exploiting a “synthetic lethal” dependency in certain tumours.
  • Precision medicine: It is particularly being tested in patients whose tumours lack CTPS2, a backup enzyme, which makes them highly vulnerable to dencatistat.

🏥 Clinical Status

Developed by Step Pharma, the drug is currently in several clinical trials:

  • Lymphoma: Phase 1/2 trials for relapsed or refractory T-cell and B-cell lymphomas.
  • Solid Tumours: Phase 1 studies for patients with solid tumours, specifically ovarian and endometrial cancers.
  • Essential Thrombocythaemia: A Phase 1b trial for this blood disorder was initiated in 2025.
