PROTACs coupled with oligonucleotides to tackle the undruggable

Bioanalysis, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 16

Опубликована: Фев. 3, 2025

Undruggable targets account for roughly 85% of human disease-related and represent a category therapeutic that are difficult to tackle with traditional methods, but their considerable clinical importance. These generally defined by planar functional interfaces the absence efficient ligand-binding pockets, making them unattainable conventional pharmaceutical strategies. The advent oligonucleotide-based proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) has instilled renewed optimism in addressing these challenges. PROTACs facilitate targeted degradation undruggable entities, including transcription factors (TFs) RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), via proteasome-dependent mechanisms, thereby presenting novel approaches diseases linked targets. This review offers an in-depth examination recent progress integration PROTAC technology oligonucleotides target traditionally proteins, emphasizing design principles mechanisms action innovative PROTACs.

Overcoming drug resistance in castrate-resistant prostate cancer: current mechanisms and emerging therapeutic approaches

Cancer Drug Resistance, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2025

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) is driven by a complex network of resistance mechanisms against standard-of-care therapies, resulting in poor long-term outcomes. This review offers uniquely comprehensive and integrative perspective on these pathways, systematically examining both androgen receptor (AR)-dependent factors (including AR overexpression, point mutations, glucocorticoid signaling, splice variants, post-translational modifications, altered coregulators, intratumoral hormone biosynthesis) AR-independent pathways (such as neuroendocrine differentiation, lineage plasticity, alternative growth factor signaling). We also highlight influencing immunotherapy, chemotherapy, radiopharmaceutical therapy targeted therapy. By synthesizing emerging insights across domains, this not only clarifies the underlying biology mCRPC but identifies key leverage points for more effective interventions. Building foundation, we propose forward-looking framework overcoming drug resistance, emphasizing importance biomarker-guided patient selection, combination strategies that simultaneously target multiple mechanisms, novel therapies under investigation. These recommendations are intended to guide future clinical trial designs research priorities move beyond incremental improvements. Ultimately, synthesis aims serve resource clinicians researchers accelerate development durable, precision-based treatment mCRPC.

Interplay of PROTAC Complex Dynamics for Undruggable Targets: Insights into Ternary Complex Behavior and Linker Design

ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15(8), С. 1306 - 1318

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2024

Protein degraders, such as bifunctional proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), selectively eliminate target proteins by leveraging the natural protein degradation machinery. PROTACs bridge with an E3 ligase, which induces ubiquitination and degradation. Investigating ternary complex structures elucidates molecular mechanisms of their formation This study examines binding dynamics ligases (VHL, CRBN, cIAP) interest, focusing on dynamics, cooperativity, selectivity, linker length, PROTAC conformations. The influence interface residues lengths specific conformations for is highlighted. Utilizing steered simulations, provides comprehensive parameters behavior stability diverse complexes. These insights are crucial designing targeting disease-causing advancing development degradable complexes therapeutic applications.
