- Chemically induced degradation of CK2 by proteolysis targeting chimeras based on a ubiquitin–proteasome pathway
-
As a ubiquitous, highly pleiotropic and constitutively active serine/threonine protein kinase, casein kinase 2 (CK2) is closely associated with tumorigenesis by its overexpression in cancer cells. Here we report several proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) via “click reaction” to connect a CK2 inhibitor (CX-4945) and pomalidomide for degradation of CK2 protein. Among them, compound 2 degraded CK2 in a dose and time-dependent manner, and kept CK2 at a low basal level by recruiting ubiquitin-proteasome system. The degradation of CK2 resulted in the reduced phosphorylation of Akt and the up-regulation of p53. As a CK2 protein degrader, 2 showed the analogous cytotoxicity to CX-4945 but with a quite different mechanism of action from the CK2 inhibitor, hinting that degradation of CK2 proteins by PROTACs is a potential way for cancer treatments.

- Homo-PROTACs for the Chemical Knockdown of Cereblon
-
The immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide, all approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma, induce targeted ubiquitination and degradation of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3) via the cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase. IMiD-based proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can efficiently recruit CRBN to a protein of interest, leading to its ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. By linking two pomalidomide molecules, we designed homobifunctional, so-called homo-PROTACs and investigated their ability to induce self-directed ubiquitination and degradation. The homodimerized compound 15a was characterized as a highly potent and efficient CRBN degrader with only minimal effects on IKZF1 and IKZF3. The cellular selectivity of 15a for CRBN degradation was confirmed at the proteome level by quantitative mass spectrometry. Inactivation by compound 15a did not affect proliferation of different cell lines, prevented pomalidomide-induced degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3, and antagonized the effects of pomalidomide on multiple myeloma cells. Homobifunctional CRBN degraders will be useful tools for future biomedical investigations of CRBN-related signaling and may help to further elucidate the molecular mechanism of thalidomide analogues.

- New synthesis route for the preparation of pomalidomide
-
A new route for the preparation of pomalidomide is described in the study. The synthetic procedure starts from 4-nitroisobenzofuran-1,3-dione and 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione hydrochloride via a three-step reaction resulting in a total yield of 65% with a high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) purity of 99.56% and a low palladium residue level of 2?ppm. This method can be deemed as an efficient, practical, and environmentally friendly synthetic route for the preparation of pomalidomide.

- Preliminary biological evaluations of new thalidomide analogues for multiple sclerosis application
-
The present work deals with the synthesis of a new series of thalidomide derivatives for therapeutic applications. These compounds were evaluated in vitro on a human endothelial cell line EA.hy926 for their antiproliferative potential and in vivo on an experimental animal multiple sclerosis model called EAE as angiogenesis inhibitors. The preliminary results obtained on EAE assays seem to validate that anti-angiogenesis compounds could be promising tools for the treatment of MS.

- Rational Design and Synthesis of HSF1-PROTACs for Anticancer Drug Development
-
PROTACs employ the proteosome-mediated proteolysis via E3 ligase and recruit the natural protein degradation machinery to selectively degrade the cancerous proteins. Herein, we have designed and synthesized heterobifunctional small molecules that consist of different linkers tethering KRIBB11, a HSF1 inhibitor, with pomalidomide, a commonly used E3 ligase ligand for anticancer drug development.

- The tale of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2)
-
Here we present the rational design and synthetic methodologies towards proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) for the recently-emerged target leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2). Two highly potent, selective, brain-penetrating kinase inhibitors were selected, and their structure was appropriately modified to assemble a cereblon-targeting PROTAC. Biological data show strong kinase inhibition and the ability of the synthesized compounds to enter the cells. However, data regarding the degradation of the target protein are inconclusive. The reasons for the inefficient degradation of the target are further discussed.

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) hijacking the cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase have emerged as a novel paradigm in drug development. Herein we found that linker attachment points of CRBN ligands highly affect their aqueous stability and neosubstrate degradation features. This work provides a blueprint for the assembly of future heterodimeric CRBN-based degraders with tailored properties.

- Selective degradation of CDK6 by a palbociclib based PROTAC
-
Development of selective kinase inhibitors that target the ATP binding site continues to be a challenge largely due to similar binding pockets. Palbociclib is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that targets the ATP binding site of CDK4 and CDK6 with similar potency. The enzymatic function associated with the kinase can be effectively probed using kinase inhibitors however the kinase-independent functions cannot. Herein, we report a palbociclib based PROTAC that selectively degrades CDK6 while sparing the homolog CDK4. We used competition studies to characterize the binding and mechanism of CDK6 degradation.

- De-novo design of cereblon (CRBN) effectors guided by natural hydrolysis products of thalidomide derivatives
-
Targeted protein degradation via cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, is an increasingly important strategy in various clinical settings, in which the substrate specificity of CRBN is altered via the binding of small-molecule effectors. To date, such effectors are derived from thalidomide and confer a broad substrate spectrum that is far from being fully characterized. Here, we employed a rational and modular approach to design novel and minimalistic CRBN effectors. In this approach, we took advantage of the binding modes of hydrolyzed metabolites of several thalidomide-derived effectors, which we elucidated via crystallography. These yielded key insights for the optimization of the minimal core binding moiety and its linkage to a chemical moiety that imparts substrate specificity. Based on this scaffold, we present a first active de-novo CRBN effector that is able to degrade the neo-substrate IKZF3 in the cell culture.

- Efficient Synthesis of Immunomodulatory Drug Analogues Enables Exploration of Structure–Degradation Relationships
-
The immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide have been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma for many years. Recently, their use as E3 ligase recruiting elements for small-molecule-induced protein degradation has led to a resurgence in interest in IMiD synthesis and functionalization. Traditional IMiD synthesis follows a stepwise route with multiple purification steps. Herein we describe a novel one-pot synthesis without purification that provides rapid access to a multitude of IMiD analogues. Binding studies with the IMiD target protein cereblon (CRBN) reveals a narrow structure–activity relationship with only a few compounds showing sub-micromolar binding affinity in the range of pomalidomide and lenalidomide. However, anti-proliferative activity as well as Aiolos degradation could be identified for two IMiD analogues. This study provides useful insight into the structure–degradation relationships for molecules of this type as well as a rapid and robust method for IMiD synthesis.
