Molecular glue has emerged as a promising strategy for treating cancer by specifically targeting oncogenic proteins involved in tumor development and progression. These proteins, which are often challenging to target using traditional small-molecule inhibitors, can be selectively bound by molecular glue compounds. Once bound, the molecular glue acts as a bridge, bringing the target protein into proximity with E3 ubiquitin ligases. This leads to the tagging of the protein with ubiquitin and subsequent degradation by the proteasome, effectively eliminating the oncogenic protein from cancer cells. The selectivity of molecular glue compounds allows for precise modulation of cancer-related pathways while minimizing off-target effects. This approach holds potential for overcoming drug resistance and can be used in combination with other cancer therapies to enhance treatment response. Moreover, the personalized nature of molecular glue enables the development of tailored treatments that address the unique molecular drivers of cancer in individual patients. While still in early stages, ongoing research aims to optimize the design and efficacy of molecular glue compounds, paving the way for potential future cancer treatments.
