PROTAC targeted protein degraders: the past is prologue

Miklos Bekes et al.

Summary: Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a new therapeutic modality that can tackle disease-causing proteins which are difficult to target with conventional small molecules. PROTAC molecules, utilizing the ubiquitin-proteasome system to degrade target proteins, has achieved clinical proof-of-concept and attracted significant industry activity. Future directions include identifying target classes suitable for TPD, expanding the use of ubiquitin ligases for precision medicine, and extending the modality beyond oncology.

Development of an LC-MS/MS Method for ARV-110, a PROTAC Molecule, and Applications to Pharmacokinetic Studies

Thi-Thao-Linh Nguyen et al.

Summary: In this study, a LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantitation of ARV-110 in rat and mouse plasma. The method showed good linearity and accuracy, and the elimination of ARV-110 was found to be unlikely in rat, mouse, and human hepatic microsomes. The oral bioavailability of ARV-110 was moderate in rats and mice.

Structural Feature Analyzation Strategies toward Discovery of Orally Bioavailable PROTACs of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase for the Treatment of Lymphoma

Jingyu Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, dimensionality reduction analysis and model molecule validation were used to identify key structural features for improving the oral absorption of BTK-PROTACs. The newly discovered BTK-PROTACs B1 and B2 were optimized based on the results. Compound C13 with improved oral bioavailability, high BTK degradation activity, and selectivity was discovered. It showed inhibitory effects against hematologic cancer cells and attenuated the BTK-related signaling pathway. The oral administration of C13 effectively reduced BTK protein levels and suppressed tumor growth. This study led to the discovery of a new orally bioavailable BTKPROTAC for the treatment of lymphoma.

Ferroptosis: An emerging therapeutic opportunity for cancer

Liyuan Wang et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is a new form of regulated cell death that is characterized by iron dependency and lipid peroxidation. It is involved in various pathological conditions and holds promise for cancer therapy. Inhibiting lipid peroxidation and targeting GPX4, a key enzyme in the prevention of lipid hydroperoxide accumulation, can induce ferroptosis. Several agents and strategies have been developed to induce ferroptosis, which can effectively target therapy-resistant cancer cells.

Covalently Engineered Nanobody Chimeras for Targeted Membrane Protein Degradation

Heng Zhang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a covalent nanobody-based PROTAC strategy named GlueTAC for targeted membrane protein degradation with high specificity and efficiency. By developing a mass-spectrometry-based screening platform, a covalent nanobody (GlueBody) was created for proximity-enabled cross-linking with surface antigens on cancer cells, leading to the internalization and degradation of PD-L1 by the resulting GlueTAC chimera.

Broadening horizons: the role of ferroptosis in cancer

Xin Chen et al.

Summary: Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death driven by excessive lipid peroxidation, and can be induced by various agents to suppress tumor growth while also potentially triggering inflammation-associated immunosuppression. The extent of ferroptosis's impact on tumor biology and its interactions with other signaling pathways are still under investigation.

MARCH8 inhibits influenza A virus infection by targeting viral M2 protein for ubiquitination-dependent degradation in lysosomes

Xiaoman Liu et al.

Summary: MARCH8 acts as an important player in the host anti-influenza virus defense by targeting M2 protein and inhibiting viral replication. The discovery that H1N1 influenza A virus has evolved to resist MARCH8-mediated ubiquitination and degradation sheds light on the inhibitory effects of MARCH8 on virus transmission within the human population.
