[VX-680: "Inhibition of drug-resistant mutants of ABL, KIT, and EGF receptor kinases"]

pnas.org

Full text freebie from PNAS. The authors are from Ambit, an interesting local (San Diego) private company that really knows its kinases.

Cheers, Tuck

>>Any info on SCIO/J&J progress?<<

Hard to find the info, but progress seems slow, considering these compounds were in play two years ago when J&J made the munch. One MDS PI/II trial recruiting:

clinicaltrials.gov

I'm not sure if the names of the compounds have changed. There seem to be some new preclinical candidates with the prefix SD, such as SD-282, which makes me wonder what's what. One could probably sort it out by paying for the latest review of them in Current Opinions of Investigational Drugs.
