neurodegenerative disorder caused by the aggregation of mutant huntingtin (mHtt), and removal of toxic mHtt is expected to be an effective therapeutic approach. We designed two small hybrid molecules (1 and 2) by linking a ligand for ubiquitin ligase (cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1; cIAP1) with probes for mHtt aggregates, anticipating that these compounds would recruit cIAP1 to mHtt and induce
亨廷顿舞蹈病(HD)是由突变亨廷顿蛋白(mHtt)聚集引起的常染色体显性遗传性神经退行性疾病,而去除有毒mHtt有望成为一种有效的治疗方法。我们通过将泛素连接酶的
配体(凋亡蛋白1的细胞
抑制剂; cIAP1)与mHtt聚集体的探针连接,设计了两个小的杂种分子(1和2),预期这些化合物将cIAP1募集到mHtt并通过泛素诱导选择性降解-
蛋白酶体系统。合成的化合物降低了HD患者成纤维细胞中的mHtt
水平,并且似乎是开发HD治疗的有希望的候选者。
