Title:

Smac Mimetic/XIAP/IAP Antagonist (S016-1348) as Solid Tumor Therapeutics

Value Proposition:
  • Orally active, monovalent IAP (Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein) antagonist demonstrating anti-tumor efficacy as a single agent
  • Exhibits nanomolar-level target binding and nanomolar in vitro efficacy in colony formation assays
  • Oral bioavailability of 55%
Summary Application:
  • S-016-1348 is a novel SMAC mimetic targeting XIAP and other IAPs
  • Induces cancer cell death independently of TNF-α, overcoming limitations of current SMAC mimetics
  • Upregulates DR5, enabling effective monotherapy across various tumor types
  • Shows strong anti-tumor activity in PDX models of colon, head & neck, and TNBC
  • Demonstrates excellent oral bioavailability and favorable pharmacokinetics across species
  • Well tolerated in preclinical studies with high safety margins
Advantages:
  • Effective against multiple cancer types, including colon cancer, head & neck cancers, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)
  • Shows superior preclinical efficacy and bioavailability compared to existing Phase II clinical trial candidates
