While GPCR pharmacology has advanced to target orthosteric and allosteric sites, as well as G proteins and GRKs, comparable chemical tools to study β-arrestins remain lacking. Here, we report the discovery of small-molecule inhibitors that selectively target β-arrestins and delineate their mechanism of action through integrated pharmacological, biochemical, biophysical, and structural analyses. These inhibitors disrupt β-arrestin-engagement with agonist-activated GPCRs, impairing desensitization, internalization, and β-arrestin-dependent functions while sparing G protein-receptor coupling. Cryo-EM, MD simulations, and structure-guided mutagenesis reveal that one modulator, Cmpd-5, engages a cryptic pocket formed by the middle, C-, and lariat loops of β-arrestin1-a critical receptor-binding interface-stabilizing a distinct conformation incompatible with GPCR engagement. Together, these findings provide a mechanistic framework for β-arrestin modulation, introducing transducer-targeted strategies to fine-tune GPCR signaling and guide the development of pathway-specific therapeutics. | |||||||||||||||||||||
