[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RASN_HUMAN RASN_HUMAN] Defects in NRAS are a cause of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/607785 607785]. JMML is a pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome that constitutes approximately 30% of childhood cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 2% of leukemia.  Defects in NRAS are the cause of Noonan syndrome type 6 (NS6) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/613224 613224]. A syndrome characterized by facial dysmorphic features such as hypertelorism, a downward eyeslant and low-set posteriorly rotated ears. Other features can include short stature, a short neck with webbing or redundancy of skin, cardiac anomalies, deafness, motor delay and variable intellectual deficits.<ref>PMID:19966803</ref>   Defects in NRAS are the cause of autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome type 4 (ALPS4) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/614470 614470]. A disorder of apoptosis, characterized by chronic accumulation of non-malignant lymphocytes, defective lymphocyte apoptosis, and an increased risk for the development of hematologic malignancies.<ref>PMID:17517660</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Oncogenic RAS mutations are among the most common in human cancers. To target the active, GTP-bound state of RAS(ON) directly, we employed an innovative tri-complex inhibitor (TCI) modality. Formation of a complex with an intracellular chaperone protein CypA, an inhibitor, and a target protein RAS blocks effector binding, inhibiting downstream RAS signaling and tumor cell proliferation. Herein, we describe the structure-guided SAR journey that led to the discovery of daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), a noncovalent, potent tri-complex inhibitor of multiple RAS mutant and wild-type (WT) variants. This orally bioavailable bRo5 macrocyclic molecule occupies a unique composite binding pocket comprising CypA and SWI/SWII regions of RAS(ON). To achieve broad-spectrum RAS isoform activity, we deployed an SAR campaign that focused on interactions with residues conserved between mutants and WT RAS isoforms. Concurrent optimization of potency and drug-like properties led to the discovery of daraxonrasib (RMC-6236), currently in clinical evaluation in RAS mutant advanced solid tumors (NCT05379985; NCT06040541; NCT06162221; NCT06445062; NCT06128551).
