Extrahepatic cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1), which is highly expressed in various tumors, is an attractive and potential target for cancer prevention, therapy, and reversal of drug resistance. CYP1B1 inhibition is the current predominant therapeutic paradigm to treating CYP1B1-mediated malignancy, but therapeutic effect has little success. Herein, we reported CYP1B1 degradation in place of CYP1B1 inhibition for reversing drug resistance toward docetaxel in CYP1B1-overexpressing prostate cancer cell line DU145 using a PROTAC strategy. Replacing chlorine atom of a CYP1B1 selective inhibitor we found previously with ethynyl, we got the resulting α-naphthoflavone derivative5which kept strong inhibition against CYP1B1 (IC50= 0.4 ± 0.2 nM) and high selectivity. Coupling of5with thalidomide derivatives of varying chain lengths afforded conjugates6A-Dviaclick reaction.In vitrocell-based assay indicated that6Cwas more effective in eliminating drug resistance of CYP1B1-overexpressed DU145 cells compared with other analogues. Western blotting analysis showed CYP1B1 degradation was one main reason for the reversal of drug resistance to docetaxel and the effect was obtained in a concentration-dependent manner. This work is the first attempt to overcome CYP1B1-mediated drug resistanceviaCYP1B1 degradation instead of CYP1B1 inhibition, which could provide a new direction toward eliminating drug resistance.
