BI-2852 is a KRAS inhibitor for the switch I/II pocket (SI/II-pocket) by structure-based agent design with nanomolar affinity. BI-2852 is mechanistically distinct from covalent KRASG12C inhibitor (binds to switch II pocket) and binds ten-fold more strongly to active KRASG12D versus KRASwt (740 nM vs 7.5 μM). BI-2852 blocks GEF, GAP, and effector interactions with KRAS, leading to inhibition of downstream signaling and an antiproliferative effect in KRAS mutant cells.

BI-2852 is a switch SI/II pocket KRAS inhibitor with nanomolar affinity through structure-based drug design. It is mechanistically distinct from covalent KRASG12C inhibitors (binding switch II), binding to active KRASG12D 10-fold more strongly than KRAS wt (740 nM vs 7.5 μM). BI-2852 blocks GEF, GAP and effector interactions with KRAS, resulting in inhibition of downstream signaling and antiproliferative effects in KRAS mutant cells.
