Abstract Text | KRAS gain-of-function mutations occur in approximately 30% of all human cancers. Despite more than 30 years of KRAS-focused research and development efforts, no targeted therapy has been discovered for cancers with KRAS mutations. Here, we describe ARS-853, a selective, covalent inhibitor of KRAS(G12C) that inhibits mutant KRAS-driven signaling by binding to the GDP-bound oncoprotein and preventing activation. Based on the rates of engagement and inhibition observed for ARS-853, along with a mutant-specific mass spectrometry-based assay for assessing KRAS activation status, we show that the nucleotide state of KRAS(G12C) is in a state of dynamic flux that can be modulated by upstream signaling factors. These studies provide convincing evidence that the KRAS(G12C) mutation generates a "hyperexcitable" rather than a "statically active" state and that targeting the inactive, GDP-bound form is a promising approach for generating novel anti-RAS therapeutics.A cell-active, mutant-specific, covalent inhibitor of KRAS(G12C) is described that targets the GDP-bound, inactive state and prevents subsequent activation. Using this novel compound, we demonstrate that KRAS(G12C) oncoprotein rapidly cycles bound nucleotide and responds to upstream signaling inputs to maintain a highly active state. |

ARS-853 | KRAS G12C inhibitor 33 | ARS-853 selectively inhibits KRAS G12C, resulting in a decrease in activated KRAS G12C and potentially leading to reduced growth of KRAS G12C-expressing tumor cells (PMID: 26739882, PMID: 32101243). |
