Abstract

Tyrosinase (TYR) catalyzes the two initial steps of melanin synthesis from tyrosine in various organisms. However, overproduction, accumulation, and abnormal reduction of melanin can lead to severe diseases, particularly skin diseases, which makes tyrosinase a significant endogenous target in developing therapeutics to treat melanin-associated disorders. Herein, we devise a TYR-based in situ catalytic platform that can generate drugs intracellularly through an endogenous copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction. By taking advantage of the potent catalytic activity of TYR that is mechanistically validated by ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) theoretical calculation and experimental catalysis performance, we develop a TYR-catalyzed in-situ formed proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) to degrade intracellular TYR protein to decrease melanin synthesis for treating hyperpigmentation and a TYR-catalyzed in-situ activated prodrug strategy to overcome drug resistance for melanoma therapy. In male mouse models, we show that this TYR-catalyzed therapeutics could efficiently alleviate skin hyperpigmentation within 48 h as well as resensitize the drug-resistant melanoma cells to chemotherapeutics to control tumor growth. Together, we offer an integrative platform to leverage the catalytic activity of endogenous TYR to generate therapeutics through in situ bioorthogonal chemistry for treating melanin-associated skin diseases.

摘要

酪氨酸酶(TYR)催化多种生物体中从酪氨酸合成黑色素的最初两个步骤。然而,黑色素的过度产生、积累和异常减少会导致严重疾病,尤其是皮肤病,这使得酪氨酸酶成为开发治疗与黑色素相关疾病的治疗药物的重要内源性靶点。在此,我们设计了一个基于TYR的原位催化平台,该平台可以通过内源性铜催化的叠氮-炔环加成(CuAAC)反应在细胞内生成药物。利用TYR的强大催化活性,通过从头算分子动力学(AIMD)理论计算和实验催化性能对其进行了机理验证,我们开发了一种TYR催化的原位形成的蛋白酶靶向嵌合体(PROTACs),以降解细胞内的TYR蛋白,减少黑色素合成,从而治疗色素沉着过度;还开发了一种TYR催化的原位激活前药策略,以克服黑色素瘤治疗中的耐药性。在雄性小鼠模型中,我们表明这种TYR催化的治疗方法可以在48小时内有效减轻皮肤色素沉着,并使耐药黑色素瘤细胞对化疗药物重新敏感,从而控制肿瘤生长。总之,我们提供了一个综合平台,利用内源性TYR的催化活性,通过原位生物正交化学生成治疗药物,以治疗与黑色素相关的皮肤病。
