Overview

Novel Zα-domain-targeted ADAR1 p150 inhibitor shows potent antitumor effects, indicating promising implications for cancer therapy.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the antitumor effects of a new inhibitor targeting ADAR1 p150, focusing on its efficacy in high interferon melanoma.
  • Identified ADAR1 p150 inhibitors using a high-throughput binding assay and confirmed Zα domain binding via FRET assay.
  • Assessed anti-tumor efficacy in B16F10 melanoma mouse model as monotherapy and alongside anti-PD-1 therapy.
  • Explored ADAR1 p150 inhibitors as payloads for PD-L1-targeted antibody-drug conjugates.
  • Discovered a series of small-molecule inhibitors of ADAR1 p150 with submicromolar affinity.
  • Inhibited tumors showed significant anti-tumor activity, with nanomolar EC50 values in vivo.
  • Combined treatment with AVA-ADR inhibitors and anti-PD1 showed additive efficacy, exceeding single-agent response.
  • Tumor samples exhibited increased expression of interferon-stimulated genes and T-cell activation markers.
