PSDalpha
PSDalpha is a photoactivatable PS-Degron targeting estrogen receptor α (ERα/ESR1), with a Ki of 72.8 nM for ERα. PSDalpha consists of an ERα-targeting estradiol moiety conjugated via an alkyne bond to triphenylamine-benzothiadiazole (TB), an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) photosensitizer. Upon visible light irradiation, PSDalpha generates singlet oxygen (1O2) and induces controllable ERα degradation. PSDalpha also induces G1 phase arrest and apoptosis. PSDalpha can be used in studies related to ERα-positive breast cancer and light-controlled targeted protein degradation.

In Vitro
PSDalpha binds to the ligand-binding domain of human ERα with a Ki of 72.8 nM; isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) shows that PSDalpha interacts with ERα in an exothermic manner, with a binding molar ratio of approximately 1:1[1].
PSDalpha (1 μM) reduces the level of purified ERα after 15 min of illumination, and ERα disappears completely when illumination is extended to 30-45 min; PSDalpha remains inert under dark conditions[1].
The ERα degradation induced by PSDalpha in MCF-7 cells is light-duration dependent, with EC50 values of 17 nM and 0.5 nM upon 460 nm light irradiation for 30 min and 45 min, respectively[1].
PSDalpha inhibits the viability of MCF-7 cells after a single irradiation, with IC50 values of 8.9, 6.1, and 5.9 μM following 15, 30, and 45 min of irradiation, respectively; PSDalpha shows essentially no obvious toxicity to MCF-7 cells under dark conditions[1].
