MS4077 is an degrader of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) PROTAC(Kd of 37 nM for binding affinity to ALK).

MS4077 (5) and MS4078 (6) potently decreased cellular levels of oncogenic active ALK fusion proteins in a concentration- and time-dependent manner in SU-DHL-1 lymphoma and NCI-H2228 lung cancer cells. The ALK protein degradation induced by compounds 5 and 6 was cereblon and proteasome dependent. In addition, compounds 5 and 6 potently inhibited proliferation of SU-DHL-1 cells. Furthermore, compound 6 displayed good plasma exposure in a mouse pharmacokinetic study, thus is suitable for in vivo efficacy studies.
