Machine Learning-Driven Drug Repositioning Identifies Putative IRAK4 Inhibitors Through Structure-Based Computational Evaluation. (PubMed, Curr Issues Mol Biol) - "Among them, DB12168 (MK-0557), DB15040 (TP-271), and DB18152 (Zilurgisertib) exhibited favorable binding free energies and stable complex formation with IRAK4 through molecular dynamics simulations and MM-PBSA calculations. Overall, these results demonstrate that approaches incorporating machine learning and structure-based computational analysis can be useful for discovering and prioritizing potential IRAK4 inhibitor candidates."

The activin receptor-like kinase-2 inhibitor zilurgisertib (INCB000928) as monotherapy or with ruxolitinib in patients with anemia due to myelofibrosis: Phase 1/2 study final results (ASH 2025) - P1/2 | "Zilurgisertib monotherapy or in combination with ruxolitinib had a favorable tolerabilityprofile, with few DLTs and no apparent correlation between dose and TEAE frequency. However, despiteevidence of on-target hepcidin suppression, zilurgisertib provided minimal improvements for anemia.These findings highlight the multifactorial nature of anemia in MF and suggest that selective inhibition ofALK2/ACVR1 may not be sufficient to effectively ameliorate MF-related anemia."

ALK2 and JAK2 Inhibition for Improved Treatment of Anemia in Myelofibrosis Patients: Preclinical Profile of an ALK2 Inhibitor Zilurgisertib in Combination with Ruxolitinib (ASH 2023) - P1/2 | "Taken together, the potent and selective on-target activity of zilurgisertib suggests that ALK2 inhibition could reduce hepcidin and improve anemia, and that the combination of zilurgisertib with ruxolitinib is a rational and attractive approach to mitigate anemia in patients with MF. The combination of ruxolitinib and zilurgisertib is currently being evaluated in a phase 1 clinical trial in patients with anemia due to myeloproliferative disorders (NCT04455841)."

Emerging Pathogenetic Mechanisms and New Drugs for Anemia in Myelofibrosis and Myelodysplastic Syndromes. (PubMed, Am J Hematol) - "These include TGF-β ligand traps (luspatercept, elritercept), activin A receptor type 1 (ACVR1)/activin receptor-like kinase 2 (ALK2) inhibitors (momelotinib, zilurgisertib), and anti-hemojuvelin antibody-based therapies (DISC-0974). Luspatercept and momelotinib are approved for anemia related to lower-risk MDS and MF, respectively, and represent an important addition to the treatment armamentarium, along with imetelstat, a telomerase inhibitor, recently ratified for anemia in lower-risk MDS. A promising strategy to overcome the limitations of existing anemia-directed therapies includes the use of drug combinations with complementary mechanisms (luspatercept + erythropoiesis stimulating agents, luspatercept + momelotinib, DISC-0974 + momelotinib), and harnessing the erythropoietic potential of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2I). Future research should address the complex pathophysiology of anemia, standardize definitions for anemia with gender-specified..."
