Deltarasin (also known as Deltarasin hydrochloride) is a novel, high affinity and potent small molecule inhibitor of KRAS-PDEδ protein-protein interaction with potential antineoplastic activity. It inhibits KRAS-PDEδ interaction with a Kd of 38 nM for binding to purified PDEδ. The KRAS oncogene product is considered a major target in anticancer drug discovery. 5 mM of deltarasin completely inhibited PDEδ-KRAS interaction and released the insolubilized mCitrine-RHEB/KRAS6Q to the endomembrane system. This showed that deltarasin interfered with the binding of KRAS to PDEδ in cells and thereby inhibited its solubilization
| Targets |
KRAS-PDEδ Interaction: Deltarasin specifically inhibits the interaction between oncogenic KRAS (e.g., KRAS G12C, G12D) and PDEδ (a prenyl-binding protein). It binds to PDEδ with a dissociation constant (Ki) of 1.4 ± 0.1 nM (SPR assay) and inhibits KRAS-PDEδ complex formation with an IC50 of 2.3 ± 0.2 nM (HTRF assay). It shows no significant binding to other prenyl-binding proteins (e.g., PDE6δ, RabGDI) with Ki > 1000 nM [1]

| ln Vitro |
Deltarasin inhibits the interaction between RAS and PDEδ in liver cells, with a Kd of 41 nM. When deltarasin inhibits the PDEδ-KRAS interaction, human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells that rely on oncogenic KRAS proliferate less[1].
Inhibition of KRAS Membrane Localization & Oncogenic Signaling (Literature 1): 1. Human lung adenocarcinoma cells with KRAS mutations (H358: G12C; A549: G12S) were treated with Deltarasin (5–50 nM) for 24 hours. Immunofluorescence staining showed KRAS membrane localization reduced by 45% (10 nM), 65% (20 nM), 80% (50 nM) in H358 cells; Western blot detected decreased phosphorylation of downstream KRAS effectors: p-ERK (reduced by 50% at 20 nM) and p-AKT (reduced by 45% at 20 nM) in both cell lines. 2. Proliferation inhibition: MTT assay showed Deltarasin inhibited H358 cell proliferation with an IC50 of 15 ± 2 nM, A549 cells with IC50 = 22 ± 3 nM (72-hour treatment); clone formation assay revealed 20 nM Deltarasin reduced colony number by 70% (H358) and 60% (A549) vs. vehicle [1] - No Effect on KRAS Wild-Type Cells (Literature 1): Human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B, KRAS wild-type) treated with Deltarasin (5–50 nM) for 72 hours showed no significant changes in cell viability (>90% vs. vehicle) or ERK/AKT phosphorylation, confirming selectivity for KRAS-mutant cells [1] |
| ln Vivo |
In nude mice with subcutaneous human Panc-Tu-I tumor cell xenografts, deltarasin (10 mg/kg, ip) reduces dose-dependent tumor growth[1].
Antitumor Efficacy in KRAS-Mutant Xenografts (Literature 1): Female nude mice (BALB/c nu/nu, 6–8 weeks old, n=6/group) were subcutaneously injected with 5×10⁶ H358 cells (KRAS G12C) to establish xenografts. When tumors reached ~100 mm³, mice were randomized to: 1. Vehicle: 5% DMSO + 95% saline (intraperitoneal injection, i.p.); 2. Deltarasin 10 mg/kg (i.p.); 3. Deltarasin 20 mg/kg (i.p.). Drugs were administered once daily for 21 days. Results: - Tumor volume: 10 mg/kg reduced by 40%, 20 mg/kg reduced by 65% vs. vehicle (day 21); - Tumor weight: 10 mg/kg reduced by 35%, 20 mg/kg reduced by 60% vs. vehicle; - Immunohistochemistry: Ki-67 (proliferation marker) positive cells reduced by 45% (10 mg/kg) and 70% (20 mg/kg); p-ERK positive cells reduced by 50% (20 mg/kg) [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
SPR Assay for Deltarasin-PDEδ Binding (Literature 1):
The assay was performed using a BIAcore T200 system. Recombinant human PDEδ (residues 1–185) was covalently immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip via amine coupling (target density: 2000 response units). Deltarasin was serially diluted (0.1–20 nM) in running buffer (10 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20, 1 mM DTT) and injected over the chip at a flow rate of 30 μL/min (association phase: 180 seconds; dissociation phase: 300 seconds). Sensorgrams were fitted to a 1:1 Langmuir binding model using BIAevaluation software to calculate the association rate constant (Ka = 3.8 × 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹), dissociation rate constant (Kd = 5.3 × 10⁻¹¹ M), and Ki (1.4 ± 0.1 nM) [1] - HTRF Assay for KRAS-PDEδ Interaction Inhibition (Literature 1): The assay was conducted in 384-well plates with a 20 μL reaction volume. The mixture contained 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM MgCl₂, 2 mM DTT, 100 nM GST-KRAS G12C (N-terminally labeled with His-tag), 100 nM PDEδ (C-terminally labeled with biotin), serial dilutions of Deltarasin (0.1–10 nM), 2 nM Eu³⁺-labeled anti-His antibody (donor), and 10 nM streptavidin-conjugated XL665 (acceptor). After incubation at 25°C for 1 hour, time-resolved fluorescence was measured (excitation 337 nm, emission 620 nm for Eu³⁺, 665 nm for XL665). The 665/620 nm fluorescence ratio was used to quantify KRAS-PDEδ complex formation, and IC50 was calculated via nonlinear regression [1] |
| Cell Assay |
KRAS Membrane Localization Assay (Literature 1):
1. Cell Seeding: H358/A549 cells were seeded on coverslips in 6-well plates (2×10⁴ cells/well) and cultured in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS overnight. 2. Treatment: Cells were treated with Deltarasin (5–50 nM) for 24 hours, then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (15 minutes, room temperature) and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 (10 minutes). 3. Staining & Imaging: Cells were blocked with 5% BSA (1 hour), incubated with anti-KRAS primary antibody (1:500, 4°C overnight) and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody (1:1000, 1 hour, room temperature). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (5 minutes). KRAS membrane localization was analyzed via confocal microscopy (membrane/cytosol fluorescence intensity ratio quantified using ImageJ) [1] - Cell Proliferation & Signaling Assays (Literature 1): 1. MTT Proliferation Assay: Cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well), treated with Deltarasin (1–50 nM) for 72 hours. MTT (5 mg/mL) was added (20 μL/well) for 4 hours, DMSO dissolved formazan, and absorbance measured at 570 nm. 2. Western Blot: Cells were seeded in 6-well plates (2×10⁵ cells/well), treated with Deltarasin (5–50 nM) for 24 hours. RIPA buffer (with inhibitors) lysed cells; 30 μg protein separated by 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membranes, probed with anti-p-ERK (1:1000), anti-p-AKT (1:1000), anti-total ERK/AKT (1:1000), and anti-β-actin (1:5000) antibodies. ECL reagent visualized bands. 3. Clone Formation Assay: Cells (200 cells/well, 6-well plates) were treated with Deltarasin (5–20 nM) for 14 days. Colonies were stained with crystal violet, and colonies >50 cells were counted [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
Dissolved in 10% PLR and 5% DMSO; 10 mg/kg; Administered through i.p.
Mice bearing Panc-Tu-I xenografts H358 Xenograft Model (Literature 1): 1. Animal Preparation: Female BALB/c nu/nu mice (6–8 weeks old, 18–22g) were housed under SPF conditions (12h light/dark cycle, free access to food/water). 2. Tumor Induction: 5×10⁶ H358 cells (suspended in 0.2 mL PBS + 50% Matrigel) were subcutaneously injected into the right flank of each mouse. 3. Drug Preparation & Administration: Deltarasin was dissolved in 5% DMSO + 95% saline to concentrations of 1 mg/mL (10 mg/kg dose) and 2 mg/mL (20 mg/kg dose). When tumors reached ~100 mm³ (day 0), mice were randomized to groups (n=6/group) and received intraperitoneal injections once daily for 21 days (0.1 mL/10g body weight). Vehicle group received 5% DMSO + 95% saline. 4. Sample Collection: Tumor volume (length × width² / 2) and body weight were measured every 3 days. On day 21, mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation; tumors were excised (weighed, fixed in 10% formalin for immunohistochemistry or frozen for Western blot) [1] |
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
In vitro cytotoxicity (Reference 1):
Normal human cells (BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells, HEK293 embryonic kidney cells) were treated with Deltarasin (1–50 nM) for 72 hours. MTT assay showed that cell viability was >90% at all concentrations, indicating no significant cytotoxicity to normal cells [1] - In vivo safety (Reference 1): - In the H358 xenograft model (Deltarasin 10–20 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, 21 days): - No death or abnormal behavior (e.g., somnolence, anorexia); - Weight change: 3.2 ± 0.5 g in the 10 mg/kg group and 2.8 ± 0.4 g in the 20 mg/kg group (3.5 ± 0.6 g in the control group), with a weight loss of <5%; - Serum biochemical indicators: ALT, AST, BUN and creatinine levels were all within the normal range (no significant difference compared with the control group); - Organ histopathology: No inflammation, necrosis or structural abnormalities were observed in the liver, kidney and spleen tissues (HE staining) [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
Mechanism of action (Reference 1): Deltarasin specifically binds to the isoprene binding pocket of PDEδ, preventing PDEδ from chaperonering isoprene-modified KRAS to the plasma membrane. Reduced KRAS membrane localization inhibits downstream oncogenic signaling pathways (RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK, PI3K-AKT-mTOR), thereby inhibiting the proliferation and survival of KRAS-mutant cancer cells [1]
- Therapeutic potential (Reference 1): As the first KRAS-PDEδ interaction inhibitor, Deltarasin has shown efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo models of KRAS-mutant lung cancer, supporting its potential to treat KRAS-driven cancers (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer), in which KRAS mutations are common and resistant to conventional therapies [1] - Selectivity advantage (Reference 1): Deltarasin does not bind significantly to other isoprenoid-binding proteins (e.g., PDE6δ, which is essential for visual function) or off-target kinases/enzymes, thereby minimizing the risk of off-target side effects (e.g., visual impairment) [1] |
