kRAS是一种GT3,是EGF受体下游信号传导的主要介质(开/关)
(EGF- R)在细胞表面上。kRAS控制着主要的信号系统,如RAF/MEK 1/2/ERK 1/2

称为致癌性kRAS,在许多癌症中很常见:胰腺癌的发病率为90%,结肠直肠癌为45%,
35%是肺癌。 突变的kRAS允许EGF‐R系统绕过其自然控制,
几乎连续地以促增长模式运行。野生型kRAS是自失活的,而致癌的
KRAS没有。与该机制一致,G12 V突变的kRAS的存在阻断了KRAS的功效。

ABSTRACT/SUMMARY
kRAS is a GTPase which is the main mediator (on/off) of downstream signaling from the EGF receptor
(EGF‐R) on the surface of cells. kRAS controls major signaling systems such as the RAF/MEK1/2/ERK1/2
cell proliferation pathway and the PI3K/AKT/mTOR cell survival pathway. Somatic kRAS mutations,
termed oncogenic kRAS, are common in many cancers: 90% incidence in pancreatic, 45% in colorectal,
and 35% in lung cancer. Mutated kRAS allows the EGF‐R system to bypass its natural controls and
operate nearly continuously in a pro‐growth mode. Wild‐type kRAS is self‐inactivating, while oncogenic
kRAS is not. Consistent with this mechanism, the presence of G12V mutated kRAS blocks the efficacy of
monoclonal antibody drugs against EGF‐R, such as panitumumab (Vectibix®) and cetuximab (Erbitux®),
which are used to treat colorectal cancer, head and neck, and other cancers.
Tosk’s Phase I SBIR research used a proprietary, genetically modified Drosophila melanogaster strain
that expresses G12V kRAS in its wings to identify two chemical scaffolds (“hits”) that suppress kRAS‐
related activity. In addition to phenotype reversal of anti‐G12V activity in the mutant fly, the hits were
tested in relevant cell culture, protein kinase, computational active site docking, RAF, and SOS pull down
assays. Assessment of ERK activity, xenograft model studies, and short‐term safety and PK studies were
also performed. Information about the presence, location, and activity of the mutant kRAS gene was
also obtained. The repeatability and reproducibility of the G12V fly screens were evaluated and
confirmed. Although not conclusive, MOA studies, including knockout studies in the G12V‐expressing fly,
strongly suggest that the hits inhibit kRAS activity in the RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK pathway. Computational
docking studies further suggest a direct interaction of the hits with kRAS, possibly leading to
interference with the kRAS‐RAF protein‐protein interaction.
The primary goals of this Phase II SBIR application are to: (1) perform additional screening using an
improved version of the Phase I fly assay to discover new kRAS inhibitors, (2) optimize and further
characterize the two inhibitors discovered in the SBIR Phase I and any newly discovered inhibitors from
Phase II, and (3) use mechanism, efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetic studies to select a candidate and
one back‐up ready for IND‐enabling tests needed to file an IND for an inhibitor of mutant kRAS.
