The family of AURORA kinases is essential for cell cycle progression and dysregulation of AURORA-A in cancer led to a large number of clinical and pre-clinical inhibitors. However, ATP competitive AURORA-A inhibitors usually do not target non-catalytic functions that have also been identified as mechanisms promoting tumorigenesis. To target non-catalytic as well as catalytic functions, we developed a series of PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) based on the selective AURORA-A kinase inhibitor MK-5108 (VX-689) and the CEREBLON E3-ligase ligand thalidomide. The most potent PROTAC, JB301, had good physicochemical properties and cell penetration resulting in degradation of AURORA-A in leukemic cells at single digit nM concentration.
