Immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) degrade specific C2H2 zinc finger degrons in transcription factors, making them effective against certain cancers. SALL4, a cancer driver, contains seven C2H2 zinc fingers in three clusters, including an IMiD degron in zinc finger cluster one (ZFC1). Surprisingly, IMiDs do not inhibit the growth of SALL4-expressing cancer cells. To overcome this limit, we focused on a non-IMiD domain, SALL4 zinc finger cluster four (ZFC4). By combining ZFC4-DNA crystal structure and an in silico docking algorithm, in conjunction with cell viability assays, we screened several chemical libraries against a potentially druggable binding pocket, leading to the discovery of SH6, a compound that selectively targets SALL4-expressing cancer cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that SH6 degrades SALL4 protein through the CUL4A/CRBN pathway, while deletion of ZFC4 abolished this activity. Moreover, SH6 treatment led to a significant 87% tumor growth inhibition of SALL4+ patient-derived xenografts and demonstrated good bioavailability in pharmacokinetic studies. In summary, these studies represent a new approach for IMiD independent drug discovery targeting C2H2 transcription factors such as SALL4 in cancer.
