Using dasatinib linked to E3 ligase ligands, we identified a potent and selective dual Csk/c-Src PROTAC degrader. We then replaced dasatinib, the c-Src-directed ligand, with a conformation-selective analogue that stabilizes the αC-helix-out conformation of c-Src. Using the αC-helix-out ligand, we identified a PROTAC that is potent and selective for c-Src. We demonstrated a high degree of catalysis with our c-Src PROTACs. Using our c-Src PROTACs, we identified pharmacological advantages of c-Src degradation compared to inhibition with respect to cancer cell proliferation.
我们使用与 E3 连接酶配体偶联的达沙替尼,鉴定出一种强效且选择性的双重 Csk/c-Src PROTAC 降解剂。然后,我们用一种构象选择性类似物取代达沙替尼(c-Src 定向配体),该类似物稳定 c-Src 的αC-螺旋外构象。使用αC-螺旋外配体,我们鉴定出一种对 c-Src 具有高活性和选择性的 PROTAC。我们用 c-Src PROTAC 证明了高度的催化作用。使用我们的 c-Src PROTAC,我们发现与抑制相比,c-Src 降解在癌细胞增殖方面具有药理学优势。
