BIM is a pro-death protein that leukaemia cells keep clamped by BCL-2. Venetoclax and sonrotoclax are BH3 mimetics: they copy the part of BIM that binds BCL-2, so BIM is released, the mitochondria leak and the cell dies. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

BIM itself is not a drug target; the drugs mimic its BH3 domain. Sonrotoclax is recorded as more potent and shorter-acting than venetoclax and active against the venetoclax-resistant G101V BCL2 mutation in preclinical models; both need a ramp-up for tumour lysis precautions.

Where it is found
  • Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and AML (venetoclax)
  • Mantle-cell lymphoma and DLBCL (sonrotoclax)
