The RASopathies are a collection of inherited disorders that are characterized by mutations that elevate activity of the RAS\/ERK signaling network. Patients present with a broad palette of developmental defects as well as those that emerge postnatally. In addition to reducing quality of life, most patients with these traits encounter some RASopathy-associated morbidities such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which can be life-threatening. Currently, only symptomatic care is available for affected individuals. Since the biology of the RAS signal transduction pathway is well understood, there is a significant opportunity for developing mechanistic therapies for the RASopathies. For example, several anti-cancer drugs that reduce RAS\/ERK pathway activity have been assessed in clinical trials with additional trials ongoing, but to date none has been FDA approved for RASopathies.<\/p>\n

To address this continuing unmet need, the Gelb and Cagan laboratories have been working together to identify new lead therapeutics through a novel approach: using a Drosophila RASopathy model as a whole animal screening platform. Screening a large chemical library, we identified a set of four especially promising novel hits, each sitting in novel chemical space. In addition, we have screened a library of FDA-approved drugs and also identified multiple hits.<\/p>\n
