Synonyms: BAY593
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: BAY-593 is a small molecule YAP1/TAZ pathway inhibitor [1]. It is being explored for anti-tumour activity. The primary (direct) target is the protein geranylgeranyltransferase type I subunit beta (PGGT1B) component of the geranylgeranyltransferase-I (GGTase-I) complex (IC50 64 nM)- confirmed using a CRISPR/Cas9 knockout (KO) screen. Functionally BAY-593 blocks activation of Rho-GTPases, leading to downstream inactivation of YAP1/TAZ which has antiproliferative actions on cancer cells.
