FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedActivating mutations in KRAS are the most frequent oncogenic alterations in cancer. The oncogenic hotspot position 12, located at the lip of the switch II pocket, offers a covalent attachment point for KRAS(G12C) inhibitors. To date, KRAS(G12C) inhibitors have been discovered by first covalently binding to the cysteine at position 12 and then optimizing pocket binding. We report on the discovery of the in vivo active KRAS(G12C) inhibitor BI-0474 using a different approach, in which small molecules that bind reversibly to the switch II pocket were identified and then optimized for non-covalent binding using structure-based design. Finally, the Michael acceptor containing warhead was attached. Our approach offers not only an alternative approach to discovering KRAS(G12C) inhibitors but also provides a starting point for the discovery of inhibitors against other oncogenic KRAS mutants.
