yap/taz inhibitor-2

YAP TAZ inhibitor-2 is a potent, orally active TEAD-YAP TAZ inhibitor with an EC50 value of 3 nM, demonstrating anti-proliferative and antitumor activity [1].

GA-017 is a potent, selective inhibitor of LATS1 and LATS2 (large tumor suppressor kinase 1 2), exhibiting IC50 values of 4.10 and 3.92 nM, respectively. This compound simultaneously acts as an activator of cell proliferation by promoting YAP TAZ activation and their nuclear translocation. Additionally, GA-017 enhances cell growth in 3D culture conditions and augments the ex vivo formation of mouse intestinal organoids [1].

YAP TAZ-TEAD-IN-2 (Compound 51) is a YAP TAZ-TEAD inhibitor that disrupts the interaction between YAP TAZ and TEAD. It inhibits the transcriptional activity of TEAD with an IC50 of 1.2 nM. Additionally, YAP TAZ-TEAD-IN-2 suppresses the expression of target genes (Cyr61, CTGF, AXL, and Survivin) and the proliferation of breast cancer cells.

pan-TEAD-IN-1 (Compound 3) is an orally active pan-inhibitor of TEAD, disrupting its interaction with coactivators YAP TAZ by targeting the palmitoylation site of TEAD. This inhibition leads to the downregulation of oncogene transcription, such as Ctgf and Cyr61, within the Hippo signaling pathway. Demonstrating outstanding efficacy, pan-TEAD-IN-1 has an IC50 of 0.36 nM for luciferase and 1.52 nM for H226 cells, along with favorable pharmacokinetic properties (AUC0–∞= 228.7 μg mL·min, T1 2= 183.9 min). The compound significantly inhibits tumor growth in xenograft models of TEAD-dependent cancers, indicating its potential for research in these cancer types.
