AI Technical Summary
There are few small molecule inhibitors for POLθ in the current technology, which limits the choice of drugs for patients. Traditional inhibitor design has problems with targeting difficulties and drug resistance.
Compounds targeting the POLθ helicase domain are provided, which induce POLθ ubiquitination and degradation via E3 ubiquitin ligase catalysis. The target protein is catalytically degraded by binding to the E3 ligase ligand of CRBN or VHL.
This provides a new approach to targeting traditionally undrugable domains of POLθ, potentially overcoming drug resistance, reducing dependence on sustained high drug concentrations, and achieving a long-lasting effect.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a compound that targets the POLθ helicase domain and its applications, including its stereoisomers, deuterated derivatives, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts or cocrystal forms, and the use of these compounds in the prevention and treatment of POLθ-mediated diseases. Background Technology
[0002] DNA polymerase theta (POLθ) is a key DNA repair enzyme that participates in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through the microhomological end joining (MMEJ) pathway. Studies have shown that POLθ is abnormally activated or overexpressed in various tumors and is closely related to tumor development, progression, and drug resistance, thus identifying it as a highly promising target for anti-tumor therapy.
[0003] In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research of small molecule inhibitors targeting POLθ function. Multiple studies have confirmed that clinically-developed POLθ inhibitors (such as GSK4524101, MOMA-313, RP-3467, SYN818, and SIM0508) can effectively enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to DNA damage factors (such as PARP inhibitors), demonstrating promising potential for combination therapy. However, traditional small molecule inhibitors typically rely on potent binding to the active site of the target protein to block its function. This mechanism of action has certain limitations, such as difficulty in targeting certain "undruggable" targets lacking a clear active pocket, the potential for drug resistance due to target mutations or compensatory mechanisms, and the need to maintain high in vivo drug concentrations to sustainably inhibit target protein activity.
[0004] Against this backdrop, targeted protein degradation (TPD) technology has rapidly developed as a revolutionary new drug development strategy. Unlike traditional occupation-driven small molecule inhibitors, protein degraders (such as PROTACs) utilize the cell's natural ubiquitin-proteasome system to catalytically induce the complete degradation of target proteins in an event-driven manner. This mechanism endows degraders with unique potential advantages: firstly, their action is not strictly dependent on the active site of the target protein, providing a new pathway for targeting traditionally "undruggable" targets (potentially including specific domains of POLθ); secondly, the catalytic degradation characteristic may lead to more durable effects, reduce dependence on sustained high drug concentrations, and potentially overcome certain forms of drug resistance. Currently, although small molecule inhibitors targeting POLθ have entered clinical trials, the variety of such compounds remains limited, and patients have very limited treatment options. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a compound that targets the POLθ helicase domain and its application, thereby solving the problems of limited types of compounds that can be used to prepare small molecule inhibitors of POLθ and limited drug options for patients in existing technologies.
