Bcr-Abl threonine 315 to isoleucine 315 (T315I) gatekeeper mutation induced drug resistance remains an unmet clinical challenge for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Chemical degradation of Bcr-Abl protein has become a potential strategy to overcome drug resistance. Herein, we first described the design, synthesis, and evaluation of a new class of selective Bcr-Abl proteolysis-targeting chimeric (PROTAC) degraders based on GZD824 (reported as Bcr-Abl inhibitor by our group). One of the degrader with 6-member carbon chain linkage with pomalidomide exhibits the most potent degradation efficacy with DR of 69.89% and 94.23% at 100 and 300 nmol/L, respectively, and has an IC value of 26.8 ± 9.7 nmol/L against Ba/F3 cells. Further, also displays substantial tumor regression against Ba/F3-Bcr-Abl xenograft model .
Bcr-Abl苏氨酸315突变为异亮氨酸315(T315I)的守门人突变导致的耐药性仍是慢性粒细胞白血病(CML)治疗中尚未解决的临床挑战。Bcr-Abl蛋白的化学降解已成为克服耐药性的一种潜在策略。在此,我们首次描述了基于GZD824(由我们团队报道为Bcr-Abl抑制剂)的一类新型选择性Bcr-Abl蛋白酶靶向嵌合体(PROTAC)降解剂的设计、合成和评估。其中一种与泊马度胺通过6元碳链连接的降解剂表现出最有效的降解效果,在100和300 nmol/L时的降解率分别为69.89%和94.23%,对Ba/F3细胞的IC值为26.8±9.7 nmol/L。此外,其对Ba/F3-Bcr-Abl异种移植模型也显示出显著的肿瘤消退。
