(+)-JQ1 (50 mg/kg) inhibits tumors growth in mice with NMC 797 xenografts. (+)-JQ1 (50 mg/kg) results in effacement of NUT nuclear speckles in mice with NMC 797 xenografts, consistent with competitive binding to nuclear chromatin.

Trivalent PROTACs having a functionalization site with controlled orientation were designed, synthesized, and evaluated. Based on the X-ray structure of BRD protein degrader MZ1 (1) in complex with human VHL and BRD4BD2, we expected that the 1,2-disubstituted ethyl group near the JQ-1 moiety in MZ1 (1) could be replaced by a planar benzene tether as a platform for further functionalization. To test this hypothesis, we first designed six divalent MZ1 derivatives, 2a-c and 3a-c, by combining three variations of substitution patterns on the benzene ring (1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-substitution) and two variations in the number of ethylene glycol units (2 or 1). We then tested the synthesized compounds for the BRD4 degradation activity of each. As expected, we found that 1,2D-EG2-MZ1 (2a), an MZ1 derivative with 1,2-disubstituted benzene possessing two ethylene glycol units, had an activity profile similar to that of MZ1 (1). Based on the structure of 2a, we then synthesized and evaluated four isomeric trivalent MZ1 derivatives, 15a-15d, having a tert-butyl ester unit on the benzene ring as a handle for further functionalization. Among the four isomers, 1,2,5T-EG2-MZ1 (15c) retained a level of BRD4 depletion activity similar to that of 2a without inducing a measurable Hook effect, and its BRD4 depletion kinetics was the same as that of MZ1 (1). Other isomers were also shown to retain BRD4 depletion activity. Thus, the trivalent PROTACs we synthesized here may serve as efficient platforms for further applications.[1]

Intratumoral environment as a hypoxic, non-inflamed "cold" state is difficult for many agents to accumulate and activate the immune system. Intrinsically, facultative anaerobic Salmonella VNP20009 target the tumor hypoxic areas, invade into tumor cells and exhibit an immune effect. Here we engineer the bacteria by decorating their surface with newly synthesized heptamethine cyanine dyes NHS-N782 and JQ-1 derivatives to obtain the biohybrid agent N-V-J, leading to the deep tumor targeted photothermal therapy and magnified immunotherapy. Due to the mitochondrial targeting capacity of NHS-N782, N-V-J becomes susceptive to the temperature rise when reaching tumors. This synergistic strategy promotes the systemic immunity by creating an inflamed "hot" tumor state from three different dimensions, which include the inherent immunogenicity of bacteria, the near-infrared laser triggered tumor antigens and the downregulation of PD-L1 expression. All these approaches result in effective and long-lasting T cell immune responses to prevent local and distant tumors for extended time. Leveraging the attenuated bacteria to transport dual drugs to the tumor tissues for self-synthetic vaccines provides a novel paradigm to enhance the bacteria-mediated cancer immunotherapy.[2]
