Molecular landscape of KRAS G12C inhibitor resistance and rational combination strategies in cancer therapy

Background: Oncogenic alterations in KRAS are among the most frequent driver mutations in human cancers, particularly lung, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. Mutant KRAS was historically considered an “undruggable” target because of its high affinity for guanosine triphosphate and guanosine diphosphate (GDP) and the...

Computational Elucidation of Potent Ligands Targeting Recalcitrant ALK G1202R‐Associated Double Mutations Underlying Lorlatinib Resistance

Targeting ALK has become a viable therapeutic strategy in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following the discovery of the EML4‐ALK fusion. Several inhibitors were developed which improved the patient's outcomes; however, the emergence of drug resistance limits the treatment and poses significant challenges. The s...

Structure-based scaffold hopping reveals strategies to overcome oncogenic KIT and PDGFRA mutation-driven drug-resistance in GIST

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Current tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting oncogenic KIT and PDGFRA have improved patient outcomes, yet off-target toxicities and drug resistance mutations remain major clinical challenges. Many approve...
