- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of VHL-Based EZH2 Degraders to Enhance Therapeutic Activity against Lymphoma
-
Traditional EZH2 inhibitors are developed to suppress the enzymatic methylation activity, and they may have therapeutic limitations due to the nonenzymatic functions of EZH2 in cancer development. Here, we report proteolysis-target chimera (PROTAC)-based EZH2 degraders to target the whole EZH2 in lymphoma. Two series of EZH2 degraders were designed and synthesized to hijack E3 ligase systems containing either von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) or cereblon (CRBN), and some VHL-based compounds were able to mediate EZH2 degradation. Two best degraders, YM181 and YM281, induced robust cell viability inhibition in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other subtypes of lymphomas, outperforming a clinically used EZH2 inhibitor EPZ6438 (tazemetostat) that was only effective against DLBCL. The EZH2 degraders displayed promising antitumor activities in lymphoma xenografts and patient-derived primary lymphoma cells. Our study demonstrates that EZH2 degraders have better therapeutic activity than EZH2 inhibitors, which may provide a potential anticancer strategy to treat lymphoma.

- Identification of New Small-Molecule Inducers of Estrogen-related Receptor α (ERRα) Degradation
-
A series of (E)-3-(4-((2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)oxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyanoacrylamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as new estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) degraders based on the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept. One of the representative compounds 6c is capable of specifically degrading ERRα protein by >80% at a relatively low concentration of 30 nM, becoming one of the most potent and selective ERRα degraders to date. Compound 6c could be utilized as a new powerful research tool for further biological investigation of ERRα.

- Is macrocycle a synonym for kinetic inertness in Gd(III) complexes? Effect of coordinating and noncoordinating substituents on inertness and relaxivity of Gd(III) chelates with DO3A-like ligands
-
Gadolinium chelates with octadentate ligands are widely used as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), with macrocyclic ligands based on DO3A being preferred for the high kinetic inertness of their Gd chelates. A major challenge in the design of new bifunctional MRI probes is the need to control the rotational motion of the chelate, which greatly affects its relaxivity. In this work we explored facile alkylation of a secondary amine in macrocyclic DO3A-like ligands to create a short, achiral linkage to limit the undesired internal motion of chelates within larger molecular constructs. The acetate moiety on the trans nitrogen was also replaced with either a bidentate (ethoxyacetate, L1 or methyl picolinate, L2) or bulky monodentate (methyl phosphonate, L3) donor arm to give octa- or heptadentate ligands, respectively. The resultant Gd(III) complexes were all monohydrated (q = 1) and exhibited water residency times that spanned 2 orders of magnitude (τM = 2190 ± 170, 3500 ± 90, and 12.7 ± 3.8 ns at 37 C for GdL1, GdL2, and GdL3, respectively). Alkylation of the secondary amine with a noncoordinating biphenyl moiety resulted in coordinatively saturated q = 0 complexes of octadentate ligands L1 and L2. Relaxivities were limited by slow water exchange and/or lack of water coligand. All complexes showed decreased inertness compared to [Gd(DO3A)] despite higher ligand denticity, and inertness was further decreased upon N-alkylation. These results demonstrate that high kinetic inertness and in vivo safety of Gd chelates with macrocyclic ligands should not be generalized.
