Selpercatinib [CAS: 2152628-33-4] is a highly-selective RET kinase inhibitor with central nervous system (CNS) activity. It treats RET fusion-positive lung and thyroid cancers.
Selpercatinib: Use and Commercial Availability
Selpercatinib is a potent and selective RET kinase inhibitor to treat specific types of cancers. It treats patients with advanced or metastatic RET fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), RET-mutant medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), and RET fusion-positive thyroid cancer. Selpercatinib is known to effectively inhibit the abnormal RET signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in the development and progression of these malignancies.
Selpercatinib is available under Retevmo.
Selpercatinib Structure and Mechanism of Action 
The chemical name of Selpercatinib is 6-(2-Hydroxy-2-methylpropoxy)-4-[6-[6-[(6-methoxy-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-3,6-diazabicyclo[3.1.1]hept-3-yl]-3-pyridinyl]pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-3-carbonitrile. Its chemical formula is C29H31N7O3, and its molecular weight is approximately 525.6 g/mol
Selpercatinib inhibits wild-type, Rearranged during Transfection (RET), required for the nervous system and kidney development.
Selpercatinib Impurities and Synthesis
Selpercatinib impurities can arise during their synthesis1 due to storage or using specific raw materials and intermediates in manufacturing. These impurities encompass related compounds, degradation products, and process impurities. Stringent quality control measures and analytical methods are crucial to ensure the purity and safety of Selpercatinib for patient use.
Daicel Pharma provides a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) for Selpercatinib impurity standards such as Selpercatinib Amide Impurity and Selpercatinib Metabolite M2. The CoA includes detailed characterization data such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, MASS, and HPLC purity2. Additionally, upon delivery, we give a complete 13C-DEPT. Daicel Pharma possesses the technology and expertise to synthesize any unknown Selpercatinib impurity or degradation product.
