While all cells require cap-dependent translation, cancer cells become addicted to enhanced translational capacity, driving the production of oncogenic proteins involved in proliferation, evasion of apoptosis, metastasis, and angiogenesis among other cancerous phenotypes. eIF4E is the ratelimiting translation factor and its activation has been shown to drive cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance. These findings have established eIF4E as a translational oncogene and promising, albeit challenging, anti-cancer therapeutic target. Although significant effort has been put forth towards inhibiting eIF4E, the design of cell-permeable, cap-competitive inhibitors remains a challenge. Herein, we describe our work towards solving this long-standing challenge. By employing an acyclic nucleoside phosphonate prodrug strategy, we report the synthesis of cellpermeable inhibitors of eIF4E binding to capped mRNA to inhibit cap-dependent translation.  \nbioRxiv preprint doi: [https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.23.541912](https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.05.23.541912); this version posted May 24, 2023.

While all cells require protein synthesis, cancer cells, in particular, become addicted to enhanced translational capacity, driving the production of proteins necessary for proliferation and survival, in addition to other hallmarks of cancer.1-3 Indeed, in cancer, changes in mRNA translation have been shown to be more extensive than changes in transcription, enabling the cell to use existing mRNA pools to quickly regulate cellular state and activity.3, 4 Although many mechanisms lead to dysregulation of translational control in cancer, the predominant paths are through hyperactivation of the PI3K-AKT-mTORC1 and RASRAF-MAPK, and MYC signaling pathways,5, 6 all of which converge on the regulation of capdependent mRNA translation, the major translational program leading to the translation of mRNAs encoding oncoproteins and growth and survival factors including c-Myc, cyc","cbCainHDiCnPu4PV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainHDiCnPu4PV","pdf",4763906,43,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## eIF4E and cap-dependent translation in cancer","[{\"question\":\"Why is eIF4E considered an important anticancer target?\",\"answer\":\"eIF4E drives cap-dependent translation, and its activation is linked to cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and drug resistance.
