Abstract

SHP2, a non-receptor tyrosine phosphatase, plays a pivotal role in numerous oncogenic cell-signaling cascades like RAS-ERK, PI3K-AKT and JAK-STAT. On the other hand, proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) has emerged as a promising strategy for the degradation of disease-related protein of interest (POI). SHP2 degradation via the PROTAC strategy will provide an alternative startegy for SHP2-mediated cancer therapy. Herein we described the design, synthesis and evaluation of a series of thalidomide-based heterobifunctional molecules and identified 11(ZB-S-29) as the highly efficient SHP2 degrader with a DC 50 of 6.02 nM. Further mechanism investigation illustrated that 11 came into function through targeted SHP2 protein degradation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
