Patent number: 12280044Abstract: The present application belongs to the technical field of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), and discloses a PROTAC molecule and a preparation method and use thereof. A ligand for a target protein in the PROTAC molecule of the present application is a pyridine carboxylic acid-1-oxide derivative. In cell and zebrafish experiments, the PROTAC molecule exhibits no toxic and side effects at a drug concentration allowing a desired effect. At a cellular level, an inhibition level of the PROTAC molecule for human tyrosinase (TYR) reaches less than or equal to 1 ?mol/L.

Patent number: 12168006Abstract: The discovery of mutant or fusion kinases that drive oncogenesis, and the subsequent approval of specific inhibitors for these enzymes, has been instrumental in the management of some cancers. However, acquired resistance remains a significant problem in the clinic, limiting the long-term effectiveness of most of these drugs. Herein is demonstrated a strategy to overcome this resistance through drug-induced MEK cleavage (via direct procaspase-3 activation) combined with targeted kinase inhibition. This combination effect is shown to be general across diverse tumor histologies (melanoma, lung cancer, and leukemia) and driver mutations (mutant BRAF or EGFR, fusion kinases EML4-ALK and BCR-ABL). Caspase-3-mediated degradation of MEK kinases results in sustained pathway inhibition and substantially delayed or eliminated resistance in cancer cells in a manner superior to combinations with MEK inhibitors.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: December 17, 2024Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the University of IllinoisInventors: Paul J.
