Therapeutic Pipeline

For more than 30 years, we have invested in advancing the science underlying our computational platform. As our technology advanced, our company evolved along with it.

Recognizing the opportunity to leverage the full power of our platform to drive internal discovery of molecules and clinical candidates for unmet medical needs, we formed Schrödinger’s therapeutics group.

SGR-1505 (MALT1)

Hematologic Malignancies

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1
SGR-1505 is a mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma translocation protein 1 (MALT1) inhibitor.

MALT1 is a key mediator of the NF-κB signaling pathway and the main driver of a subset of B-cell lymphomas. Ongoing, external clinical studies are showing promise of MALT1 as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of several non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphomas.

SGR-1505 (MALT1)
SGR-2921 (CDC7)

AML/MDS

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1
SGR-2921 is a cell division cycle 7-related protein kinase (CDC7) inhibitor.

CDC7 is a protein kinase that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation and DNA replication. Elevated replication stress is a common feature of many highly proliferative cancers. External clinical studies are showing promise of CDC7 as a potential therapeutic target in oncology.

SGR-2921 (CDC7)
SGR-3515 (Wee1/Myt1)

Solid Tumors

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1
SGR-3515 is a Wee1 G2 Checkpoint Kinase and Membrane Associated Tyrosine/Threonine 1 (Wee1/Myt1) inhibitor..

Wee1 is a gatekeeper checkpoint kinase that prevents cellular progression through the cell cycle, allowing time for DNA repair before cell division takes place. Myt1 is a kinase found to be overexpressed in certain types of cancer. Concurrent loss of function of Wee1 and Myt1 confers selective vulnerability in cancer cells, a mechanism referred to as synthetic lethality. External clinical studies are showing promise of Wee1/ Myt1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic target in ovarian and uterine cancer.

SGR-3515 (Wee1/Myt1)
PRMT5-MTA

Oncology

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1

PRMT5-MTA inhibition has demonstrated clinical responses in both hematologic and solid tumors with improved safety versus PRMT5 inhibitors due to a synthetic lethal targeting of cancer cells with MTAP-deletions. We have identified selective, potent PRMT5-MTA inhibitors with potential applications in solid tumors, brain metastases and primary CNS tumors.

EGFRC797S

Oncology

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1

EGFR inhibitors are first-line standard of care agents for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with activating EGFR mutations. We have identified multiple EGFRC797S inhibitors with potential to treat patients whose disease progressed following first-line treatment, potentially achieving deeper, more durable responses through new combination regimens.

NLRP3

Immunology

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1

NLRP3 is a validated target, and mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated with a broad spectrum of inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. We have identified structurally distinct, selective, NLRP3 inhibitors with anti-inflammatory activity in preclinical models, and is continuing to optimize peripheral and brain-penetrant leads.

LRRK2

Neurology

DiscoveryPreclinicalPhase 1

LRRK2 is a large multifunctional kinase enzyme and mutations in the LRRK2 gene have been shown to be associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease. Schrödinger has generated cryo-electron microscopy structures of LRRK2 to accelerate the identification of novel LRRK2 inhibitors.
