Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. A number of efficacious EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been developed. However, acquired drug resistance largely encumbered their clinical practicability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic regime. Herein, we designed and synthesized a set of EGFR-targeting small molecule PROTACs which showed promising efficacy. In particular, VHL-recruiting compound P3 showed potent anti-proliferative activity against HCC827 and H1975 cell lines with IC values of 0.83 and 203.01 nM, respectively. Furthermore, both EGFR and EGFR could be significantly induced to be degraded under treatment of P3 with DC values of 0.51 and 126.2 nM, respectively. Compound P3 was able to dramatically suppress EGFR pathway signal transduction. Moreover, compound P3 could significantly induce cell apoptosis, arrest cell cycle and suppress cell colony formation. In addition, we identified that ubiquitination was indispensable in the degradation process, and found that the degradation was related to autophagy. Our work would provide an alternative approach for development of potentially effective EGFR degraders and give a new clue for investigation of PROTAC-induced protein degradation.
