Negative allosteric modulation of the µ-opioid receptor

DNA-encoded libraries from WuXi AppTec were used in a “steered” screening against either inactive or active μ-opioid receptors in parallel, to find novel negative allosteric modulators of this receptor. The molecule discovered via DEL screening not only shows direct and effective in vitro and in vivo potency, but also helps elucidate the mechanism of negative allosteric modulation of GPCRs. This discovery …Read More >

Combined Inhibition of KRAS G12C and PD1 Boosts Therapeutic Efficacy via Conditioning of Tumor Microenvironment

The G12C mutation is one of the most frequent KRAS mutations in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and oncogenic RAS signaling has been shown to promote an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment by upregulating PD-L1 expression.  At SITC 2023, WuXi AppTec scientists presented a poster showing that combination therapy of the KRAS G12C inhibitor AMG 510 with …Read More >
