Description
Summary:KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene and plays a predominant role in driving initiation and progression of multiple cancers. Attempts to degrade the oncogene KRASG12C with PROTAC strategy have been considered as an alternative strategy to combate cancers. However, the irreversible PROTACs may compromise the substoichiometric activity to decrease the potency. Herein, we report the development of YF135, the first reversible-covalent PROTAC capable of recruiting VHL mediated proteasomal degradation of KRASG12C. YF135 induces the rapid and sustained degradation of endogenous KRASG12C and attenuates pERK signaling in H358 and H23 cells in a reversible manner. The first reversible-covalent KRASG12C PROTAC YF135 was designed and synthesized. YF135 induces the rapid and sustained endogenous KRASG12C degradation and attenuates pERK signaling through the E3 ligase VHL mediated proteasome pathway.
