Compounds that interact with the Ras superfamily for the treatment of cancers, inflammatory diseases, rasopathies, and fibrotic disease
Provided herein are methods and compositions for treating cancers, inflammatory diseases, rasopathies, and fibrotic disease involving aberrant Ras superfamily signaling through the binding of compounds to the GTP binding domain of Ras superfamily proteins including, in certain cases, K-Ras and mutants thereof, and a novel method for assaying such compositions.
