Meisoindigo Acts as a Molecular Glue to Target PKMYT1 for Degradation in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Therapy.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Meisoindigo (Mei) has been clinically utilized for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), yet the precise molecular targets by which it exerts effects remain unclear. Through activity-based protein profiling (ABPP), the protein kinase, membrane-associated tyrosine/threonine 1 (PKMYT1) is identified as a direct target of Mei. Specifically, Mei forms a selective and reversible covalent bond with the Cys301 residue of PKMYT1, triggering its K48-linked polyubiquitination and accelerating proteasomal degradation, which is mediated by the E3 ligase TRIM25. The study reveals that Mei acts as a molecular glue, enhancing the interaction between PKMYT1 and TRIM25 by approximately 30-fold, thereby facilitating efficient PKMYT1 degradation. Further investigations reveal the pivotal role of PKMYT1 in cell growth. Knockdown of PKMYT1 in K562 cells induces G2/M phase arrest, enhances early apoptosis, and inhibits cell proliferation. In an orthotopic xenograft model, PKMYT1 knockdown delays leukemia progression and reduces lymph node metastasis, reinforcing its role in CML progression and metastasis. These findings provide a molecular rationale for the clinical efficacy of Mei and highlight PKMYT1 as a promising therapeutic target for CML. Additionally, it offers a valuable scaffold and inspiration for the development of novel molecular glue-based protein degraders.
