Target engagement is a key concept in drug discovery and its direct measurement can provide a quant. understanding of drug efficacy and/or toxicity. Failure to demonstrate target occupancy in relevant cells and tissues has been recognized as a contributing factor to the low success rate of clin. drug development. Several techniques are emerging to quantify target engagement in cells; however, in situ measurements remain challenging, mainly due to tech. limitations. Here, we report the development of a non-covalent clickable probe, based on SCH772984, a slow off-rate ERK1/2 inhibitor, which enabled efficient pull down of ERK1/2 protein via click reaction with tetrazine tagged agarose beads. This was used in a competition setting to measure relative target occupancy by selected ERK1/2 inhibitors. As a reference we used the cellular thermal shift assay, a label-free biophys. assay relying solely on ligand-induced thermodn. stabilization of proteins. To validate the EC50 values measured by both methods, the results were compared with IC50 data for the phosphorylation of RSK, a downstream substrate of ERK1/2 used as a functional biomarker of ERK1/2 inhibition. We showed that a slow off-rate reversible probe can be used to efficiently pull down cellular proteins, significantly extending the potential of the approach beyond the need for covalent or photoaffinity warheads.
