| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By conjugation of a molecular glue with an enzyme inhibitor, >30-times binding affinity and >10-times inhibitory effect were achieved. The results support the concept that drug efficacy can be enhanced by simply introducing an “adhesive" moiety. In this research project, we had mainly focused on development of stimuli-responsive molecular glues, though different from the original plan, and succeeded in synthesis of “photo-polymerizable”, “redox-responsive”, and “ATP-binding” molecular glues. Each of the molecular glues demonstrates a remarkable properties to manipulate biological functions. The development of new stimuli-responsive molecular glues will definitely promote the project toward treatment of unmet-needs diseases.
