AMG-510(Sotorasib)

Description:Sotorasib (AMG510) is a chiral compound and a potent KRAS G12C covalent inhibitor with potential antitumor activity.

Uses:Sotorasib (AMG510) is the first KRAS (G12C) inhibitor to enter clinical development. Having shown antitumor activity in clinical trials, AMG 510 represents a potentially transformative therapy.

Definition:ChEBI:Sotorasib is a pyridopyrimidine that is pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(1H)-one substituted by 4-methyl-2-(propan-2-yl)pyridin-3-yl, (2S)-2-methyl-4-(prop-2-enoyl)piperazin-1-yl, fluoro and 2-fluoro-6-hydroxyphenyl groups at positions 1, 4, 6 and 7, respectively. It is approved for the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer having KRAS(G12C) mutations. It has a role as an antineoplastic agent. It is a member of acrylamides, a N-acylpiperazine, a pyridopyrimidine, a member of monofluorobenzenes, a member of methylpyridines, a tertiary carboxamide, a tertiary amino compound and a member of phenols.

General Description:Sotorasib, also known as AMG-510, is an acrylamide derived KRAS inhibitor developed by Amgen. It is indicated in the treatment of adult patients with KRAS G12C mutant non small cell lung cancer. This mutation makes up >50% of all KRAS mutations. Mutant KRAS discovered in 1982 but was not considered a druggable target until the mid-2010s. It is the first experimental KRAS inhibitor. The drug [MRTX849] is also currently being developed and has the same target. Sotorasib was granted FDA approval on 28 May 2021.

Mode of action:Sotorasib is an orally available inhibitor of the specific KRAS mutation, p.G12C, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, sotorasib selectively targets, binds to and inhibits the activity of the KRAS p.G12C mutant. This may inhibit growth in KRAS p.G12C-expressing tumor cells. The KRAS p.G12C mutation is seen in some tumor cell types and plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation.
