  "id": "MLC-T-ONC-016369",
  "term": "Ras inhibitor RSC-1255",
  "field": "Oncology and biomedicine",
  "definition": "An orally bioavailable pan-mutant and wild-type Ras inhibitor, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon oral administration, Ras inhibitor RSC-1255 selectively targets, binds to and inhibits both wild-type and mutated forms of Ras, thereby inhibiting Ras-dependent signaling and inhibits proliferation of tumor cells in which Ras is overexpressed and/or mutated. Ras serves an important role in cell signaling, division and differentiation. Mutations of Ras may induce constitutive signal transduction leading to tumor cell growth, proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.",
