Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), a homodimeric membrane receptor localized in the endoplasmic reticulum, plays a pivotal role in signaling innate immune responses. Inhibitors and proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) targeting STING are promising compounds for addressing autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders. In this study, we used a minimal covalent handle recently developed as the ligand portion of an E3 ligase. The engineered STING degrader with a low molecular weight compound covalently binds to STING and E3 ligase. Degrader 2 showed sustained STING degradation activity at lower concentrations (3 µM, 48 h, about 75 % degradation) compared to a reported STING PROTAC, SP23. This discovery holds significance for its potential in treating autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases, offering promising avenues for developing more efficacious STING-targeted therapies.
