APD-334 (Etrasimod) was discovered as part of our internal effort to identify potent, centrally available, functional antagonists of the S1P1 receptor for use as next generation therapeutics for treating multiple sclerosis (MS) and other autoimmune diseases. APD334 is a potent functional antagonist of S1P1 and has a favorable PK/PD profile, producing robust lymphocyte lowering at relatively low plasma concentrations in several preclinical species. This new agent was efficacious in a mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) model of MS and a rat collagen induced arthritis (CIA) model and was found to have appreciable central exposure. APD-334 has therapeutic potential in immune and inflammatory-mediated diseases such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and atopic dermatitis.

Elacestrant (ER-306323 or RAD 1901 [6R)-6-(2-(N-(4-(2-(ethylamino)ethyl)benzyl)-N-ethylamino)-4-methoxyphenyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-2-ol dihydrochloride]) is a selective estrogen receptor (ER) degrader. Elacestrant induces the degradation of ER, inhibits ER-mediated signaling and growth of ER+ breast cancer cell lines in vitro and in vivo, and significantly inhibits tumor growth in breast cancer xenograft models. Elacestrant has the potential for use as a single agent or in combination with other therapies for the treatment of breast cancer. Elacestrant is being developed by Radius Health, for the treatment of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer.
Fruquintinib is a highly selective small molecule drug candidate that has been shown to inhibit VEGFR 24 hours a day via an oral dose, with lower off-target toxicities compared to other targeted therapies. Mechanistically, Fruquintinib selectively blocks VEGF-mediated receptor autophosphorylation, thus inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. In preclinical in vitro studies using a 32P-ATP assay, Fruquintinib selectively inhibited the tyrosine kinase activity associated with VEGFR-1, VEGFR-2, and VEGFR-3 at concentrations in the nanomolar range, but showed little inhibition against a panel of 254 kinases related to cell cycle or cell proliferation, including cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK1, 2, 5), the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), the mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), and platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) kinase. In cellular assays, Fruquintinib potently inhibited VEGF-stimulated VEGFR phosphorylation and proliferation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Fruquintinib demonstrated potent antiangiogenic effect and anti-tumor activity in xenograft models of colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; NCI-H460), renal clear cell carcinoma (Caki-1), and gastric carcinoma (BGC823) in mice treated for 3 weeks. Fruquintinib is currently under joint development in China by Chi-Med and its partner Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”). Chi-Med and Lilly jointly announced top-line results from the FRESCO CRC trial on March 3, 2017. In addition, Fruquintinib is being studied in China in Phase III pivotal trial in non-small cell lung cancer (“NSCLC”), known as FALUCA; and a Phase II study using Fruquintinib combined with Iressa® (gefitinib) in the first-line setting for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Sparsentan (RE-021; BMS-346567; PS433540; DARA-a) is a novel candidate in development by Retrophin for the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), a serious kidney disorder that often leads to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Sparsentan is a first-in-class, orally active, dual-acting angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and highly selective endothelin Type A receptor antagonist. Sparsentan has been used in trials studying the treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. The FDA and European Commission have granted sparsentan orphan drug designation for FSGS. Retrophin also is advancing sparsentan for the treatment of immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) , or Berger’s disease, which also can lead to ESRD. Retrophin is examining the ability of sparsentan to slow the decline of kidney function in patients with FSGS and IgAN.

Fezolinetant (ESN-364) is an antagonist of the neurokinin-3 receptor. It suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. Ogeda is developing fezolinetant for the treatment of hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) in postmenopausal women.
Sotagliflozin (LX4211) is an orally-delivered small molecule compound that is currently in development for the treatment of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sotagliflozin (LX4211) inhibits both sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2, or SGLT2, a transporter responsible for most of the glucose reabsorption performed by the kidney, and sodium-glucose cotransporter type 1, or SGLT1, a transporter responsible for glucose and galactose absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, and to a lesser extent than SGLT2, glucose reabsorption in the kidney. Combining SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibition in a single molecule would provide complementary insulin-independent mechanisms to treat diabetes.
Pacritinib (SB1518), discovered in Singapore at the labs of S*BIO Pte Ltd., is an oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against two important activating mutations: Janus Associated Kinase 2 (JAK2) and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3). The JAK family of enzymes is a central component in signal transduction pathways, which are critical to normal blood cell growth and development as well as inflammatory cytokine expression and immune responses. Activating mutations of JAK2 are implicated in certain blood-related cancers, including myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), leukemia and certain solid tumors. FLT3 is a gene commonly found mutated in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Pacritinib has demonstrated encouraging results in Phase 1 and 2 studies for patients with myelofibrosis and may offer an advantage over other JAK inhibitors through effective treatment of symptoms while having less treatment-emergent thrombocytopenia and anemia than has been seen in currently approved and in-development JAK inhibitors. Pacritinib is acquired by Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) and Baxter international and could effectively address an unmet medical need for patients living with myelofibrosis who face treatment-emergent thrombocytopenia on marketed JAK inhibitors. Currently Pacritinib is undergoing preregistration for myelofibrosis.
