Abstract: Autophagosome-tethering compounds (ATTECs) are an emerging new technology in targeted protein degradation. However, effective tools and successful examples for autophagosome-tethering chimeras are still rather limited. Herein, ATTEC ispinesib was identified for the first time to be an effective warhead to design autophagosome-tethering chimeras. As a conceptual validation study, the first generation of autophagic degraders of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) were developed by connecting the NAMPT inhibitor and LC3-binding ispinesib through a flexible linker. In particular, compound A3 significantly induced the degradation of NAMPT through the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, leading to excellent cellular antitumor potency. Ispinesib may have broad applications in the design of potent autophagosome-tethering chimeras.
