Abstract

Disclosed herein are synthesis and use of covalent inhibitors selective for Transcriptional Enhancer Factor TEF-1 (TEAD1), which can be used for treatment of cancers such as glioblastoma, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). Further disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions including the TEAD1 inhibitor and methods of treating cancers using the same.

Claims (17)
