| Abstrakt: | Targeted degradation technologies, primarily referring to targeted protein degradation, have emerged as promising drug discovery strategies. In contrast to traditional “occupancy-driven” inhibition approaches, these technologies ingeniously leverage the cell’s endogenous degradation mechanisms to achieve specific elimination of disease-causing targets. Autophagy, a highly conserved cellular clearance pathway, possesses broad substrate recognition capabilities, enabling degradation of not only individual proteins but also protein aggregates, damaged organelles, and invading pathogens. Given these characteristics, researchers are actively exploring the application of autophagy mechanisms in targeted degradation technologies. Herein, we summarize recent advances in autophagy-dependent degradation approaches, including autophagosome tethering compounds (ATTEC), autophagy-targeting chimeras (AUTAC), autophagy-targeting Chimera (AUTOTAC), chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)-based methods, nanotechnology-based strategies, and the newly introduced autophagy-induced antibody (AUTAB) technique, highlighting their mechanisms, advantages, and potential applications in treating tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and other challenging conditions. |
