NBE5
NBE5 is an orally active hydrophobic tag-targeting (Hyt) degrader (HyTTD) that targets Keap1. NBE5 mimics protein misfolding and recruits the molecular chaperone Hsp90, while achieving targeted degradation of Keap1 through both the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagy-lysosome system. Consequently, NBE5 relieves the inhibition of the transcription factor Nrf2 by Keap1, potently activates the Nrf2-mediated endogenous antioxidant pathway, and upregulates the expression of downstream antioxidant proteins such as HO-1 and GCLM. NBE5 effectively alleviates oxidative stress and inflammatory damage, and exhibits excellent in vivo activity in a mouse model of acute colitis induced by DSS (HY-116282C).
NBE5 consists of a hydrophobic tag (HY-W022007), a Keap1-Nrf2 ligand (HY-14909), and a linker (HY-W014831).

NBE5 (1.0 μM; 12 h) induces potent Keap1 degradation in HCT116, RKO, and BEAS-2B cells, with the highest activity (92.5% degradation) observed in BEAS-2B cells[1].
NBE5 (0.1-10.0 μM; 12 h) induces concentration-dependent Keap1 degradation in HCT116 and RKO cells over 12 h, with higher potency (lower DC50, higher Dmax) in HCT116 cells[1].
NBE5 (1.0 μM; 1.5-24 h) induces time-dependent Keap1 degradation in HCT116 and RKO cells, with faster degradation kinetics (shorter DT50) observed in HCT116 cells[1].
NBE5 (2.0 μM; 6-18 h, plus washout culture) mediates Keap1 degradation in HCT116 and RKO cells that depends on both the ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy-lysosome system, involves enhanced Keap1-Hsp90 interaction, and produces sustained degradation after washout[1].
NBE5 (0.5-2.5 μM; 12 h) activates the Nrf2 pathway in HCT116, RKO, and BEAS-2B cells via Keap1 degradation, leading to increased nuclear Nrf2, upregulated downstream antioxidant enzyme protein and mRNA levels, with no effect on Keap1 transcription[1].
NBE5 (2.0 μM; 12 h) selectively induces Keap1 degradation in HCT116 cells, activates the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway, upregulates autophagy-related and HSP70 family proteins, and shows no significant effect on off-target proteins IKKβ and SLC30A1[1].
The DC50 values of NBE5 for Keap1 degradation in HCT116 and RKO cells were 0.82 μM and 1.72 μM, respectively; furthermore, at a concentration of 1 μM, the maximum degradation rate of Keap1 in BEAS-2B cells reached 92.5%[1].
