Abnormal signaling of the protein kinase Akt has been shown to contribute to
human diseases such as diabetes and cancer, but Akt has proven to be a
challenging target for drugging. Using iterative in situ click chemistry, we
recently developed multiple protein-catalyzed capture (PCC) agents that
allosterically modulate Akt enzymatic activity in a protein-based assay. Here, we
utilize similar PCCs to exploit endogenous protein degradation pathways. We use
the modularity of the anti-Akt PCCs to prepare proteolysis targeting chimeric
molecules that are shown to promote the rapid degradation of Akt in live cancer
cells. These novel proteolysis targeting chimeric molecules demonstrate that the
epitope targeting selectivity of PCCs can be coupled with non-traditional
drugging moieties to inhibit challenging targets.
