- MICROMOLECULAR COMPOUND SPECIFICALLYDEGRADING TAU PROTEIN, AND APPLICATION THEREOF
-
The present disclosure discloses a micromolecular compound specifically degrading tau protein, and an application thereof. The chemical structure of the micromolecular compound specifically degrading tau protein is TBM-L-ULM or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, enantiomer, stereoisomer, solvate, polymorph or N-oxide thereof, TBM being a tau protein-binding moiety, L being a linking group, and ULM being a ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety, the tau protein-binding moiety and the ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety being connected by means of the linking group. The micromolecular compound specifically degrading tau protein may increase tau protein degradation in a cell, thereby decreasing tau protein content.

- 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.

- Reaction of Diisobutylaluminum Borohydride, a Binary Hydride, with Selected Organic Compounds Containing Representative Functional Groups
-
The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

- Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of WD-Repeat-Containing Protein 5 (WDR5) Degraders
-
Histone H3K4 methylation serves as a post-translational hallmark of actively transcribed genes and is introduced by histone methyltransferase (HMT) and its regulatory scaffolding proteins. One of these is the WD-repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5) that has also been associated with controlling long noncoding RNAs and transcription factors including MYC. The wide influence of dysfunctional HMT complexes and the typically upregulated MYC levels in diverse tumor types suggested WDR5 as an attractive drug target. Indeed, protein-protein interface inhibitors for two protein interaction interfaces on WDR5 have been developed. While such compounds only inhibit a subset of WDR5 interactions, chemically induced proteasomal degradation of WDR5 might represent an elegant way to target all oncogenic functions. This study presents the design, synthesis, and evaluation of two diverse WDR5 degrader series based on two WIN site binding scaffolds and shows that linker nature and length strongly influence degradation efficacy.

- Discovery of SK-575 as a Highly Potent and Efficacious Proteolysis-Targeting Chimera Degrader of PARP1 for Treating Cancers
-
The nuclear protein poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) has a well-established role in the signaling and repair of DNA and is a validated therapeutic target for cancers and other human diseases. Here, we have designed, synthesized, and evaluated a series of small-molecule PARP1 degraders based on the proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept. Our efforts have led to the discovery of highly potent PARP1 degraders, as exemplified by compound 18 (SK-575). SK-575 potently inhibits the growth of cancer cells bearing BRCA1/2 mutations and induces potent and specific degradation of PARP1 in various human cancer cells even at low picomolar concentrations. SK-575 achieves durable tumor growth inhibition in mice when used as a single agent or in combination with cytotoxic agents, such as temozolomide and cisplatin. These data demonstrate that SK-575 is a highly potent and efficacious PARP1 degrader.

-
Our recent investigation is focused on the discovery of anti-angiogenesis agents. Vascular normalization induced by anti-angiogenic agent appears to be a promising strategy. We have developed novel angiogenesis inhibitors with potency of promoting vascular normalization. Herein, we reported the design, synthesis and preliminary evaluation of proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTACs) based on the previously developed anti-angiogenesis agents. Two PROTACs exhibited potent VEGFR-2 inhibition and anti-proliferative activity against HUVECs. Moreover, they were capable of reducing protein levels of VEGFR-2 in EA.hy926 cells without significant cytotoxicity against HEK293 cells. The novel PROTACs could be used to normalize the abnormal vessels, resulting in efficient delivery of drugs.

- Identification and Characterization of von Hippel-Lindau-Recruiting Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) of TANK-Binding Kinase 1
-
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional molecules that recruit an E3 ligase to a target protein to facilitate ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of that protein. While the field of targeted degraders is still relatively young, the potential for this modality to become a differentiated and therapeutic reality is strong, such that both academic and pharmaceutical institutions are now entering this interesting area of research. In this article, we describe a broadly applicable process for identifying degrader hits based on the serine/threonine kinase TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and have generalized the key structural elements associated with degradation activities. Compound 3i is a potent hit (TBK1 DC50 = 12 nM, Dmax = 96%) with excellent selectivity against a related kinase IKK?, which was further used as a chemical tool to assess TBK1 as a target in mutant K-Ras cancer cells.

- PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTION INDUCING TECHNOLOGY

The present disclosure is based on the surprising and unexpected discovery that a ligand molecule with certain characteristics is able to bind to two protein molecules simultaneously and recruit them to form a transient or stable protein-protein interaction complex. The protein-protein interaction and other cross-domain interactions gained in this process contribute additional stabilization energy to the complex beyond the combination of the binary binding energies, and therefore, largely increase the binding potency of the ligand. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a Protein-Protein Interaction Inducing Technology (PPIIT), which includes a method to design and identify the tripartite or bifunctional compounds and use such compounds to induce protein-protein interactions in various contexts. The present disclosure also provides a composition for the purpose of inducing protein-protein interactions.

E3 ubiquitin ligases are attractive targets in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, however, the development of small-molecule ligands has been rewarded with limited success. The von Hippel-Lindau protein (pVHL) is the substrate recognition subunit of the VHL E3 ligase that targets HIF-1α for degradation. We recently reported inhibitors of the pVHL:HIF-1α interaction, however they exhibited moderate potency. Herein, we report the design and optimization, guided by X-ray crystal structures, of a ligand series with nanomolar binding affinities.
