MK-2206 is an oral selective allosteric inhibitor of Akt that targets all three isoforms of human Akt (Akt-1, Akt-2 and Akt-3). In a phase I study of solid tumors, MK-2206 demonstrated evidence of target modulation and anti-proliferative activity as a single agent and in combination with other agents. Current ongoing trials of MK-2206 include monotherapy and combination therapy in breast cancer, colorectal cancer, haematological malignancies, non-small cell lung cancer and other. Detected treatment-related adverse event are: rash, fatigue, hyperglycemia.

BGT 226 is an orally available, small molecule, the dual inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and phosphatidylinositol 3'kinase (PI3K), developed by Novartis for the treatment of solid tumors, including advanced breast cancer. A phase I/II trial was completed in the US, Canada, and Spain, and a phase I trial was completed in Japan. However, development appears to have been discontinued.

AZD-7687 is a potent inhibitor of Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) which was developed by AstraZeneca for the treatment obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. AZD-7687 reached phase I of clinical trials, but was discontinued by unknown reasons.

RO-5045337 (RG7112) is a small molecule that binds to a MDM2, a negative regulator of tumor-supressor protein p53. It was discovered by Roche and investigated in clinical trials against solid tumors, leukemias and sarcomas.

OC-459 is a highly potent and selective CRTH2 antagonist which is active on both the recombinant and native human receptor. The Atopix lead compound OC-459 is effective in improving lung function and symptoms in patients with atopic eosinophilic asthma. This group represents 40-50% of all asthmatics and the magnitude of improvement in the responder population is equivalent to high dose inhaled corticosteroids. OC-459 has also been shown to reduce both nasal and eye symptoms in allergic subjects exposed to grass pollen. Of particular interest is the ability of OC-459 to reduce the rate of respiratory infections, an effect related to reduction in Th2 immunity which has a damaging effect on host defence. OC-459 has also demonstrated an excellent safety profile in around 800 subjects exposed drug and no safety issues have been highlighted in long term toxicology. OC-459 is in Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis.

MK-0812 is a potent and selective CCR2 antagonist, which was developed by Merck. This drug has entered clinical trials for both rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. However, the rheumatoid arthritis trial was terminated because of lack of favorable outcomes when MK-0812 failed to show any early clinical improvement. The outcome of the multiple sclerosis trial of MK-0812 also had negative outcomes.

Lucitanib (E-3810) is a novel multi-kinase inhibitor currently in clinical trials for its anti-angiogenic and anti-tumor activity. A Phase I/IIa clinical trial of lucitanib was initiated in 2010 and has demonstrated multiple objective responses in FGFR1 gene-amplified breast cancer patients, and objective responses were also observed in patients with tumors often sensitive to VEGFR inhibitors, such as renal cell and thyroid cancer. Lucitanib is an oral, potent inhibitor of the tyrosine kinase activity of fibroblast growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (FGFR1-3), vascular endothelial growth factor receptors 1 through 3 (VEGFR1-3) and platelet-derived growth factor receptors alpha and beta (PDGFR alpha-beta). The most common adverse events were hypertension, asthenia, and proteinuria.

Artefenomel, a novel trioxolane, is a lead candidate for inclusion in a new antimalarial combination, specifically formulated for children. Artefenomel has been demonstrated curative in as little as one dose.

Vesatolimod, also known as GS-9620, is being developed in clinical studies for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection, with the goal of inducing a liver-targeted antiviral effect without inducing the adverse effects associated with current systemic interferon-α (IFN-α) therapies. It is demonstrate interferon-stimulated gene induction without detectable serum interferon at low oral doses. GS-9620 is a potent and oral agonist of Toll-like receptor-7, a pattern-recognition receptor whose activation results in innate and adaptive immune stimulation

Vidofludimus (SC12267; 4SC-101) is a novel oral immunomodulator inhibiting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-17 (IL17A and IL17F) and interferon-gamma. This drug is in the clinical trial for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases and Rheumatoid arthritis.
