Description

Near infrared light activated protein targeted degradation chimeric body and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of protein targeted degradation, and particularly relates to a chimeric for near infrared light activated protein targeted degradation, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The proteolytic-targeting chimeric (PROTAC) technology has become a promising way of anticancer, with PROTAC comprising a ligand for the protein of interest and E3 ubiquitin ligase, inducing targeted protein degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Heretofore, PROTAC has been applied to degrade a variety of oncogenic proteins, such as Androgen Receptor (AR), estrogen Receptor (ER), and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD 4), but current research has found that the presence of off-target/targeted toxicity caused by PROTAC activity in normal tissues remains a critical safety issue after systemic administration. Thus, in the course of treatment, tumor-specific therapeutic strategies should be considered, and protein-targeted degradation chimeras are inactive until exposed to the tumor site, and the proteolytic activity is restored by triggering the response group, providing a practical means of manipulating the degradation process. Among them, light has been currently in the optical cage type and optical switch type of PROTAC to temporarily mask proteolytic activity by using photocleavage and photoisomerization groups, respectively, because of its safety and high space-time resolution, and these photoactivated PROTAC show great promise in optical control of targeted protein degradation in living cells. However, their activation depends on uv or visible light irradiation, which greatly hinders in vivo applications. Here we report a Near Infrared (NIR) light activated nano-formulation PROTAC (NAP) for remote controlled proteolysis in tumor cells (scheme 1). The PROTAC was initially proteolytically inactive due to covalent cross-linking. Following systemic administration, NAP accumulates in tumor tissue and enters tumor cells by endocytosis. The released PROTAC then resumes its activity for protein degradation. Meanwhile, the photosensitizer can be used for photodynamic therapy to realize synergistic cancer inhibition.
