Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to a stress particle targeted degrader, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Stress granules (SGs) are dense, non-membrane-bound granular structures in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells formed in response to environmental stresses (such as oxidative stress, hypoxic stress, and heat shock). They are primarily composed of untranslated mRNA, translation initiation factors, small ribosomal subunits, and various RNA-binding proteins (such as TIA1 and G3BP). These RNA-binding proteins promote SG formation through self-aggregation and interaction with mRNA. Through their dynamic formation and deaggregation, stress granules regulate overall cellular translation levels and related signaling pathways, rapidly responding to changes in the intracellular environment.
[0003] Under normal physiological conditions, stress granules protect cells from apoptosis by minimizing stress-induced damage through inhibiting overall cellular translation, optimizing resource allocation, and suppressing apoptosis-related signaling pathways. However, pathological mutations in proteins can lead to abnormal formation of stress granules and inhibit their disintegration, resulting in the accumulation of toxic pathological stress granules. Studies have shown that the formation of abnormal toxic pathological stress granules is closely related to chemotherapy drug resistance and the development of neurodegenerative diseases.
[0004] Many antitumor drugs (such as 5-fluorouracil, sorafenib, and bortezomib) can induce the formation of stress granules through multiple mechanisms, including oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress. In this process, stress granules act as an adaptive protective mechanism of cells, helping to protect tumor cells from apoptosis and thus leading to chemotherapy drug resistance. In the pathological process of neurodegenerative diseases, mutated RNA-binding proteins, such as FUS, hnRNPA1, and TDP-43, are continuously recruited to stress granules, leading to abnormalities in these granules. This further promotes the accumulation of these proteins in the cytoplasm, where they remain and form fibrotic aggregates, causing persistent lesions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
[0005] Therefore, stress particles are considered an important potential drug target in disease treatment. Developing drugs targeting stress particles is of great significance and has broad application prospects in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and in overcoming tumor drug resistance.
