Abstract

Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatase 2 (SHP2) is an attractive therapeutic target for human cancers and other human diseases. Herein, we report our discovery of potent small-molecule SHP2 degraders whose design is based upon the proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept. This work has led to the discovery of potent and effective SHP2 degraders, exemplified by SHP2-D26. SHP2-D26 achieves DC 50 values of 6.0 and 2.6 nM in esophageal cancer KYSE520 and acute myeloid leukemia MV4;11 cells, respectively, and is capable of reducing SHP2 protein levels by >95% in cancer cells. SHP2-D26 is >30-times more potent in inhibition of phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and of cell growth than SHP099, a potent SHP2 inhibitor, in KYSE520 and MV4;11 cancer cell lines. This study demonstrates that induced SHP2 degradation is a very effective approach to inhibit the function of SHP2. Further optimization of these SHP2 degraders may lead to the development of a new class of therapies for cancers and other human diseases.

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.
