APS03118
APS03118 is an orally active, potent and selective rearranged during transfection (RET) inhibitor. APS03118 broadly inhibits RET fusions and mutations (including G810, V804, L730, and Y806 variants), with IC50 values predominantly below 1 nM (0.095 nM for WT; ranging from 0.00438 to 5.72 nM for mutants), and demonstrates marked superiority against RET G810 mutations. APS03118 inhibits the entire RET signaling pathway (including RET, Shc, and ERK1/2), with >20-fold selectivity over most off-target kinases (except FLT3 and YES). APS03118 induces complete tumor regression in KIF5B-RET and CCDC6-RET V804 M patient derived xenografts (PDXs) and significantly prolongs survival in an intracranial CCDC6-RET metastasis mice model. APS03118 can be used for selective RET inhibitor (SRI)-resistant, RET-driven cancer research.

Biological Activity
APS03118 (compound 5) shows markedly superior activity against the solvent-front RET G810 mutation compared to Selpercatinib (HY-114370) and Pralsetinib (HY-112301)[1].
APS03118 exhibits superior efficacy against resistant RET mutations in engineered models (solvent-front and gatekeeper) and also demonstrates potent antiproliferative activity comparable to Pralsetinib and Selpercatinib in a native RET fusion-positive LC2/ad lung cancer cells (IC50 = 10.08 nM)[1].
APS03118 (0-3000 nM) inhibits RET autophosphorylation in Ba/F3 KIF5B-RET, Ba/F3 KIF5B-RET V804M, Ba/F3 KIF5B-RET G810R, and Ba/F3 KIF5B-RET M918T cells with IC50 values of 1.91, 1.18, 14.66, and 2.28 nM[1].
APS03118 (0-1000 nM, 1.5 h) potently inhibits the entire RET signaling pathway (including RET, Shc, and ERK1/2) in TT-RET C634W cells at low nanomolar concentrations[1].
