Abstract

The STING pathway is critical to innate immunity and is being investigated as a potential therapeutic target. Existing agents targeting STING suffer from several undesirable effects, particularly the possibility of systematic activation, which increases the risk of autoimmune disorders. In this proof-of-concept study, we report the development of a light-activated STING agonist, based on the potent compound SR-717. We first screened the activity of the non-caged agonist toward 5 human STING variants to identify the most viable target. A photocaged agonist was designed and synthesized in order to block an essential interaction between the carboxy acid group of the ligand with the R238 residue of the STING protein. We then investigated the selective activation of STING with the photocaged agonist, demonstrating an irradiation-dependent response. The development and characterization of this selective agonist expands the growing toolbox of conditionally controlled STING agonists to avoid systematic immune activation.
