MRT-2359 is an orally active and selective GSPT1 molecular glue degrader, with a DC50 of 5 nM. MRT-2359 induces CRBN/GSPT1 ternary complex formation to drive CRBN- and degron-dependent proteasomal GSPT1 degradation, with selectivity for wild-type GSPT1 over the GSPT1G575N mutant. MRT-2359 disrupts protein translation, induces ribosome stalling, downregulates MYC family proteins and their transcriptional output, reduces proliferation, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. MRT-2359 can be used for the research of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine lung cancer, high grade neuroendocrine cancers, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, prostate cancer, and MYC-driven solid tumors.

Description

MRT-2359 is an orally active and selective GSPT1 molecular glue degrader, with a DC50 of 5 nM. MRT-2359 induces CRBN/GSPT1 ternary complex formation to drive CRBN- and degron-dependent proteasomal GSPT1 degradation, with selectivity for wild-type GSPT1 over the GSPT1G575N mutant. MRT-2359 disrupts protein translation, induces ribosome stalling, downregulates MYC family proteins and their transcriptional output, reduces proliferation, and induces apoptosis in cancer cells. MRT-2359 can be used for the research of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), neuroendocrine lung cancer, high grade neuroendocrine cancers, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, prostate cancer, and MYC-driven solid tumors[1][2][3][4][5].

IC50 & Target[1]

GSPT1

5 nM (DC50)

In Vitro

MRT-2359 binds to CRBN in a cell-free HTRF assay with an IC50 of 113 nM[1].
MRT-2359 induces CRBN/GSPT1 ternary complex formation in a cell-free HTRF assay with an IC50 of 7 nM, and this activity is ablated against the GSPT1G575N mutant[1].
MRT-2359 degrades GSPT1 in CAL51 cells with a DC50 of 5 nM and 100% maximum degradation, and this activity is ablated in CAL51 cells expressing the GSPT1G575N mutant[1].
MRT-2359 (72 h) reduces CAL51 cell viability with an EC50 of 150 nM, and this activity is ablated in CRISPR-mediated CRBN knockout CAL51 cells[1].
MRT-2359 (>30000 nM) shows no inhibition of 7 CYP isoforms or hERG activity at concentrations >30000 nM[1].
MRT-2359 (100 nM; 1 h) induces proximity between CRBN and GSPT1, leading to enrichment of GSPT1 and GSPT2 in CAL51 CRBN-Turbo ID cells[1].
MRT-2359 (0.3-30 μM; 6 h) degrades GSPT1 but not common CRBN neosubstrates in MM1S and Kelly cells[1].
MRT-2359 (72 h) reduces viability with preferential potency (median EC50 ~50 nM) in NSCLC and SCLC cell lines with high N-MYC or L-MYC mRNA expression, compared to lower potency in cell lines with low MYC expression[1].
MRT-2359 (24 h) degrades GSPT1 with >95% maximum degradation in NCI-H1155 (DC50 = 2.1 nM), ABC-1 (DC50 = 9.8 nM), NCI-H2023 (DC50 = 28.8 nM), and NCI-H441 (DC50 = 9.4 nM) NSCLC cell lines[1].
MRT-2359 (0.03-0.3 μM; 6-48 h) degrades GSPT1 in both NCI-H1155 (N-MYC high) and NCI-H2023 (N-MYC low) NSCLC cell lines, and reduces N-MYC levels in a dose- and time-dependent manner in NCI-H1155 cells while N-MYC is undetectable in NCI-H2023 cells[1].
MRT-2359 (0.1-1 μM; 6-24 h) represses MYC target gene expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner in NCI-H1155 (N-MYC high) NSCLC cells, while having no effect on MYC target gene expression in NCI-H2023 (N-MYC low) NSCLC cells[1].
MRT-2359 shows profound, preferential antiproliferative activity in N-MYC and L-MYC high NSCLC and SCLC cell lines, with activity dependent on CRBN and the GSPT1 G-loop degron, and sole expression of N-MYC or L-MYC sensitizes initially resistant NSCLC cells to MRT-2359[2].
MRT-2359 induces translational repression in N-MYC and L-MYC high NSCLC and SCLC cell lines, as evidenced by ribosome stalling at stop codons, increased monosomes, decreased polysomes, and changes in puromycilation assays[2].
MRT-2359 reduces total N-MYC and L-MYC levels and downmodulates MYC target genes in N-MYC and L-MYC high NSCLC and SCLC cell lines, while driving robust GSPT1 degradation[2].
MRT-2359 potently and selectively induces CRBN- and degron-dependent GSPT1 degradation, with preferential antiproliferative activity in Myc-driven NSCLC and SCLC lines (but not low N-Myc NSCLC lines) via translational repression, reduced Myc family protein levels, and downregulated Myc target gene expression[3].
MRT-2359 exhibits preferential antiproliferative activity in NSCLC and SCLC cell lines with high N-MYC or L-MYC mRNA, and in sensitive prostate cancer cell line subgroups (androgen receptor-positive with high c-MYC, neuroendocrine with or without high N-MYC), while insensitive prostate cancer cell lines (androgen receptor/neuroendocrine-negative with low c-MYC) show minimal c-MYC reduction and no sensitivity[4].
MRT-2359 induces 100% degradation of GSPT1 with a DC50 of 5 nM in CAL-51 cells, with no activity against IKZF1, IKZF3, or CK1α[5].
MRT-2359 exerts profound preferential antiproliferative activity in high N-Myc NSCLC cells and high L-Myc SCLC cells, linked to differential GSPT1 degradation, with minimal activity in low N-Myc/L-Myc cell lines[5].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
