XMU-MP-9 is a bifunctional compound that binds to the C2 domain of Nedd4-1 and the allosteric site of K-Ras. XMU-MP-9 enhances the interaction between Nedd4-1 and K-Ras, induces conformational changes in the Nedd4-1/K-Ras complex, promotes the ubiquitination and degradation of multiple K-Ras mutants, and inhibits the proliferation of cells carrying K-Ras mutants. XMU-MP-9 can be used in cancer research.
