A covalent PFKL activator suppresses tumor growth. Nat.Chem.Biol., 2026 Cited by PubMed Abstract: Glycolysis fuels vital cellular functions, and its dysregulation has been implicated in cancer, neurodegeneration, antibiotic resistance and diabetes. The glycolytic dependency of cancer, known as the Warburg effect, represents a key vulnerability for development of targeted anticancer agents; however, the development of such agents remains challenging owing to metabolic heterogeneity and resistance. Here we developed a covalent phosphofructokinase-1 liver type (PFKL) activator that couples glycolytic activation with delivery of a cytotoxic carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2)-targeting payload to cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. The electrophile-drug conjugate site-specifically and proteome-wide selectively modifies K677 in the allosteric effector site to stabilize the R-state tetramer of PFKL, while concomitantly releasing a CPT2-selective inhibitor to destabilize cell metabolism. The delivery mechanism of electrophile-drug conjugates is analogous to that of antibody-drug conjugates, but differentiated by their selective covalent targeting of intracellular proteins.
