Mutant KRAS targeted drugs for pancreatic cancer treatment

Drugs Mechanism Efficacy
FTIs (Lonafarnib and Tipifarnib) Inhibiting farnesylation of KRAS Not promising
FTS, salirasib Preventing KRAS from reaching cell membranes Promising
Deltarasin Enabling KRAS to be farnesylated but halting it from reaching the membrane Decreasing the proliferation of KRAS-driven PDAC cell lines
CI-1040 and PD0325901 Inhibiting MEK/MAPK pathway downstream of KRAS Not significant
LY294002 Inhibiting PI3K pathway downstream of KRAS Promoting apoptosis in vitro and preventing tumor proliferation in vivo
