Recently Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved pralsetinib (BLU-667) and selpercatinib (LOXO-292) are RET-selective protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors for treating RET-altered cancers, but whether they have distinct activity was unknown. The L730V/I mutations at the roof of the solvent-front site of the RET kinase were identified as strongly resistant to pralsetinib but not to selpercatinib. Selpercatinib effectively inhibited these mutants and the KIF5B-RET(L730V/I) oncogene-driven tumors.

Quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) modeling has emerged as a pivotal tool in the field of medicinal chemistry and drug design, offering a predictive framework for understanding the correlation between chemical structure and physicochemical properties. Topological indices are mathematical descriptors derived from the molecular graphs that capture structural features and connectivity, playing a crucial role in QSPR analysis by quantitatively relating chemical structures to their physicochemical properties and biological activities. Lung cancer is characterized by its aggressive nature and late-stage diagnosis, often limiting treatment options and significantly impacting patient survival rates.

RET is a well-recognized drug target for cancer treatment. Despite the promising efficacy of selective second-generation RET inhibitors Selpercatinib and Pralsetinib, the clinical benefits have been compromised due to the quickly developed resistance to these drugs. RET G810 mutations at the solvent front site have been identified as the major on-target mutations contributing to resistance against Selpercatinib and Pralsetinib.

The enhanced comprehension of the molecular pathways underpinning oncogenesis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has led to the advancement of personalized treatment for individuals with actionable mutations using targeted therapies. The rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene, is critical in the embryonic development of various tissues, including renal, neural, and neuroendocrine tissue. RET fusions have been observed in approximately 1-2% of NSCLC cases.
