KRAS G12C (DC50 = 0.25~0.76 μM); VHL
The target of LC-2 is KRASG12C, and it recruits the E3 ligase VHL. LC-2 targets KRASG12C, a mutant form of the KRAS GTPase that is commonly found in various cancers. As a PROTAC, LC-2 binds to KRASG12C through the MRTX849 warhead and recruits the VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase. This leads to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of KRASG12C, suppressing MAPK signaling. KRAS is mutated in approximately 20% of human cancers. |

| ln Vitro |
LC-2 covalently binds to KRASG12C via a MRTX849 warhead and recruits the E3 ligase VHL, inducing rapid and sustained degradation of endogenous KRASG12C in both homozygous and heterozygous KRASG12C cell lines. This degradation leads to the suppression of MAPK signaling, as evidenced by reduced levels of phosphorylated ERK (pERK) [2]
In several KRAS mutant cancer cells (NCI-H2030, MIA PaCa-2, SW1573, NCI-H23, and NCI-H358 cells), LC-2 causes endogenous KRASG12C to degrade, with a DC50 range from 0.25 to 0.76 μM. KRASG12C is degraded by LC-2 through a genuine PROTAC mechanism. 2.5 μM LC-2 was applied to MIA PaCa-2, NCI-H23, and SW1573 cells during 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours. Maximum KRAS degradation starts in 24 hours and lasts for up to 72 hours in all three cell lines [1]. In both heterozygous and homozygous KRAS mutant cell lines, Erk signaling is influenced by LC-2-induced (2.5 μM; 6-24 hours) KRAS G12C degradation [1]. In vitro, LC-2 degrades endogenous KRASG12C with DC50s between 0.25 µM and 0.76 µM. It inhibits MAPK signaling in both pure and heterozygous KRASG12C cell lines. LC-2 demonstrates that PROTAC-mediated degradation is a viable option for attenuating oncogenic KRAS levels and downstream signaling in cancer cells. The compound shows potent degradation activity in cellular assays. |

Competition, Proteasome Inhibition, and Neddylation Inhibition Experiments [2]
Between 2.5 x 105 and 5.0 x 105 cells were seeded into 6-well plates. The next day cells were pretreated with DMSO, 500 μM or 1 mM VHL ligand, 1 μM epoxomicin, 1 μM MLN4924, or 100 nM M bafilomycin A1 for 1 h. Media was then removed and cells were treated with DMSO, 2.5 μM LC-2 plus DMSO, 2.5 μM LC-2 Epimer plus DMSO, or cotreated with 2.5 μM LC-2 and the corresponding competitor/inhibitor. NCI-H2030 cells were treated for 4 h and NCI-H23 cells were treated for 24 h, after which cells were lysed by scraping in RIPA buffer supplemented as described previously. For an individual experiment conducted on a given day, two separate wells of cells were treated identically for every condition and harvested side-by-side. The in vitro degradation assay for LC-2 involves measuring the reduction in KRASG12C protein levels. Cells (e.g., KRASG12C-mutant cancer cell lines) are treated with LC-2 at varying concentrations for a defined period. Protein levels are quantified by Western blotting using KRAS-specific antibodies. DC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves (0.25-0.76 µM). |

Western blot analysis[1]
Cell Types: MIA PaCa-2 cells and NCI-H23 cells Tested Concentrations: 2.5 μM Incubation Duration: 6-24 hrs (hours) Experimental Results: Inhibition and degradation of KRAS G12C reduces homozygous MIA PaCa at 6 and 24 hrs (hours) pErk Signaling-2 Cells Cells (homozygous and heterozygous KRASG12C lines) were treated with LC-2 at specified concentrations. Following treatment, cell lysates were prepared, and Western blot analysis was performed to detect levels of KRASG12C and phosphorylated ERK (pERK), allowing assessment of KRASG12C degradation and suppression of MAPK signaling [2] Cellular assays are performed using KRASG12C-mutant cancer cell lines. Cells are treated with LC-2 at varying concentrations. MAPK signaling is assessed by measuring the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 by Western blotting. Cell proliferation and viability are assessed using standard assays. |

| Additional Infomation |
LC-2 is the first PROTAC capable of degrading endogenous KRASG12C. Its design utilizes the MRTX849 active group to covalently bind to KRASG12C and binds a group that can recruit the E3 ligase VHL, thereby achieving targeted degradation of the oncogenic mutant KRASG12C, as a supplementary strategy to existing KRASG12C inhibitors [2]. KRAS is mutated in about 20% of human cancers. Although it was historically considered "undruggable," it remains one of the most promising targets in the field of drug regulation. In recent years, the discovery of potent covalent inhibitors of KRASG12C mutants has sparked a new wave of research on small molecule drugs targeting KRAS. Despite the promising clinical prospects of these inhibitors, we hope to explore PROTAC-mediated degradation as a complementary strategy to regulate mutant KRAS. This article reports the development of LC-2, the first PROTAC capable of degrading endogenous KRASG12C. LC-2 covalently binds to KRASG12C via the MRTX849 warhead and recruits the E3 ligase VHL, thereby inducing rapid and sustained degradation of KRASG12C, ultimately inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway in homozygous and heterozygous KRASG12C cell lines. LC-2 demonstrates that PROTAC-mediated degradation is a feasible approach to reduce the level of oncogenic KRAS and its downstream signaling in cancer cells. [2]
