Общее описание

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.

Способ действия

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.
