                                        Comment: NX-5948 (Nurix Therapeutics) is an oral BTK protein degrader. It was designed as an alternative to BTK inhibitors for potential to treat B cell malignancies, including those that carry BTK mutations which confer resistance to existing BTK inhibitors [1-2]. In contrast to NX-2127 which degrades both BTK and IKZF3, NX-5948 selectively degrades BTK. We believe NX-5948 is compound 195 in patent WO2021113557A1 [3]. It is a structure match for the INN bexobrutideg (WHO INN proposed list 133, July 2025).
