An updated patent review of SOS1 inhibitors (2022-present)

SOS1 is a crucial guanine nucleotide exchange factor for KRAS. It facilitates the transition of KRAS from inactive GDP-bound state to active GTP-bound state. The activation of KRAS triggers downstream signaling pathways, promoting tumor initiation and progression. Inhibiting SOS1 to prevent KRAS activation is an effective strategy for treating tumors driven by KRAS.
