Abstract
Description
STAT DEGRADERS AND USES THEREOF BACKGROUND
[0001] The Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) family of proteins consists of transcription factors that play an essential role in the regulation of cell processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and angiogenesis. Seven STAT genes have been identified in the human genome: STAT1, STAT2, STAT3, STAT4, STAT5a, STAT5b, and STAT6.
[0002] STAT3 has received particular attention because it is strongly associated with the promotion of tumor growth and immune evasion, and the only STAT family member whose genetic deletion results in embryonic lethality. Indeed, aberrantly elevated STAT3 activity has been estimated to occur in more than 70% of human cancers. Activated STAT3 mediates critical gene expression changes and molecular events that dysregulate cell growth and apoptosis, promote angiogenesis, invasion, metastasis, and the development of resistance to apoptosis, and suppress the host’s immune surveillance of the tumor, thereby making constitutively-active STAT3 a critical mediator of carcinogenesis and tumor progression.
[0003] Another STAT protein that has gained recent interest is STAT6. Recent studies have shown that STAT6 signaling is essential for IL-4- and IL-13-induced epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and aggressiveness of colorectal cancer cells (CRC) cells. STAT6 is involved in several aspects of inflammatory disease and other related conditions. SUMMARY
[0004] Given their role in the regulation of cell processes, modulating the activity of one or more STAT proteins, particularly STAT3 and / or STAT6, represent a pivotal area of investigation for the treatment of cancer, inflammatory conditions, and other therapeutic needs.
[0005] Targeted protein degradation has become an advancing area as seen with rapid progression of PROTACs (proteolysis targeting chimeras) to clinic. PROTACs are protein degraders, which utilize the cell’s own waste disposal machinery to eliminate, instead of inhibit, a target protein. PROTACs are bifunctional in that they simultaneously bind a target protein and an E3 ligase protein. This event subsequently ubiquitylates the target, marking it for proteasomal degradation. This, and related processes, represent a new therapeutic modality for the treatment of diseases.
[0006] The present invention provides novel bifunctional compounds for degradation of STAT3 and / or STAT6 by recruiting them to E3 uniquitin ligase for degradation. Theadvantages of using the methods of the invention are that a broad range of targets that may be modulalted by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligase for degradation.
[0007] In certain aspects, the invention provides effective degraders of the STAT3 and / or STAT6. The degraders of STAT3 and / or STAT6 have general Formula A:)
[0008] wherein, TBM is target binding moiety; DM is degradation moiety; and L is a linker between TBM and DM. A TBM is a moiety that binds to a target protein that should be degraded. In certain embodiments, the TBM is the moiety that binds to STAT3 and / or STAT6. The degradation moiety is responsible for induding degradation of the target. In certain embodiments, the degradation moiety acts by recruitment of ubiquiting E3 ligase to the target attached to TBM, and thus results in degradation of the target.
[0009] In certain aspects, the compounds of the invention provide that the TBM moiety comprises a STAT3 and / or STAT6 binding moiety. The STAT3 and / or STAT6 binding moeity are inhibitors and / or modulators of STAT3 and / or STAT6. In certain embodiments, the STAT3 and / or STAT6 binding are compounds provided in WO 2023 / 164680, which is incorporated by reference in its entirey.
