Small-molecule degraders for Nudix Hydrolase 5, NUDT5

Image from Licence Details: Small-molecule degraders for Nudix Hydrolase 5, NUDT5

Applications: Treatment of cancer, inflammatory and metabolic diseases

Novel degrader molecules that degrade rather than inhibit human NUDT5 for therapeutic benefit.

Features Benefits
  • Exploits a novel scaffolding role of NUDT5 in purine metabolism, which is dependent on its scaffolding function rather than its catalytic activity.
  • Broad targeting potential through its scaffolding interactions: targeting of PPAT exemplified, but potentially can be extended to other pathway members, such as GART, PAICS, ATIC, PFAS, HPRT1, SAICAR, AICAR.
  • Heterocycle-containing linker connecting NUDT5 with CRBN E3 ligase complex.
  • Provides balance of properties for efficient degradation and excellent solubility.
  • PROTAC linker could connect NUDT5 to any degradation pathway, i.e., not only via E3 ligase.
  • Customisable degradation based on specific needs.
  • Can be administered in combination with another compound.
  • Reducing side effects or toxicity of a second drug administered in treatment of cancer, inflammatory, autoimmune or metabolic disorder.
