KRAS mutations linked with cancer. Flavonoids were docked against KRAS G12C and G12D receptors. Abyssinone III, alpha naphthoflavone, beta naphthoflavone, abyssinone I, abyssinone II and beta naphthoflavone, genistin, daidzin showed good docking scores against KRAS G12C and G12D receptors, respectively. The MD simulation data revealed that Rg, RMSD, RMSF, and SASA values were within acceptable limits. Alpha and beta naphthoflavone showed good binding energies with KRAS G12C and G12D receptors. DFT and MEP analysis highlighted the nucleophilic and electrophilic zones of best-docked flavonoids. A novel avenue for the control of KRAS G12C and G12D mutations is made possible by flavonoids.

Background: Inadequate tumour samples often hinder molecular testing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Plasma-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) sequencing has shown promise in bypassing these tissue limitations. Nevertheless, pleural effusion (PE) samples may offer a richer cfDNA source for mutation detection in patients with malignant PE.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality rate worldwide, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85%. KRAS mutations are one of the significant mechanisms underlying the occurrence, development, immune escape, and chemotherapy resistance of NSCLC. Two KRAS inhibitors are approved by FDA for the treatment of NSCLC in the past three years.

Impact of Sotorasib, a KRAS G12C Inhibitor, on the Pharmacokinetics and Therapeutic Window of Digoxin, a P-Glycoprotein Substrate.

Sotorasib is a small-molecule Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) G12C inhibitor indicated for the treatment of KRAS G12C-driven cancers. KRAS G12C is a common mutation in solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. In vitro studies suggested that sotorasib is a weak inhibitor of P-glycoprotein transporter.

Background: SMARCA4-deficient (BRG-1 deficient) primary thoracic tumors are rare aggressive malignancies associated with poor prognosis. While complete BRG-1 loss is well-documented, the clinical implications of partial BRG-1 deficiency remain unclear. This case report explores a case of mixed lung cancer with partial BRG-1 deficiency and KRAS G12C mutation, highlighting its clinical relevance, treatment challenges, and the importance of comprehensive molecular profiling.

The inhibition of mutant KRAS proteins has emerged as a promising approach for treating KRAS-driven cancers, as evidenced by the clinical success of KRAS G12C inhibitors. KRAS G12D, the most common mutant, promises significant expansion of the addressable patient population; however, the reduced nucleophilicity of aspartate compared to cysteine poses significant challenges in balancing sufficient potency with ADME properties to support oral exposure. Herein, we describe the discovery of KRAS G12D inhibitor (), which achieves oral exposure in nonhuman primate (NHP).
