MyD88 gene mutation has been identified as one of the most prevalent driver mutations in the activated B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (ABC DLBCL). The published literature suggests that interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1) is an essential gene for ABC DLBCL harboring MyD88 mutation. Importantly, the scaffolding function of IRAK1, rather than its kinase activity, is required for tumor cell survival. Herein, we present our design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a novel series of potent and selective IRAK1 degraders. One of the most potent compounds, Degrader-3 (JNJ-1013), effectively degraded cellular IRAK1 protein with a DC50 of 3 nM in HBL-1 cells. Furthermore, JNJ-1013 potently inhibited IRAK1 downstream signaling pathways and demonstrated strong anti-proliferative effects in ABC DLBCL cells with MyD88 mutation. This work suggests that IRAK1 degraders have the potential for treating cancers that are dependent on the IRAK1 scaffolding function.
