KB02-JQ1 is a potent and specific proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) that specifically degrades BRD4, acting as a molecular glue. It does not degrade BRD2 or BRD3. The mechanism of action involves covalent modification of the E3 ligase DCAF16, thereby promoting BRD4 degradation. Importantly, KB02-JQ1 demonstrates enhanced stability and durability in facilitating protein degradation within biological systems. The compound forms a complex with the ubiquitin E3 ligase ligand KB02 through a linker, resulting in the formation of KB02-JQ1[1].
Lenalidomide-PEG1-azide is an E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates the cereblon ligand based on Lenalidomide and a linker. It is designed for use in the development of PROTACBRD4 Degrader-2[1].
Pomalidomide-PEG1-azide is an E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that combines the cereblon ligand based on Pomalidomide with a linker. This compound is instrumental in designing PROTACBRD4 Degrader-1[1].
PROTACBRD2 BRD4 degrader-1 (compound 15) serves as a potent, selective degrader of BET proteins BRD4 and BRD2, achieving rapid, reversible, and unexpectedly selective elimination of BRD4 and BRD2 compared to BRD3. Its efficacy in suppressing solid tumors manifest with minimal cytotoxic effects. This compound comprises a BET inhibitor, a connecting linker, and thalidomide as the ligand for cereblon (CRBN) cullin 4A[1].
PROTACBRD4-binding moiety 1 is a BRD4 ligand that binds to the cereblon ligand through a linker, enabling the formation of a PROTAC complex. This complex efficiently degrades BRD4[1].
Thalidomide-NH-C4-NH2 TFA (compound 29c) is a conjugate consisting of an E3 ligase ligand-linker, incorporating the Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a linker moiety. This compound, Thalidomide-NH-C4-NH2 TFA, is utilized as a component in PROTACBRD2 BRD4 degrader-1, which is a highly potent and selective degrader targeting BET proteins BRD4 and BRD2[1].
EN219 is a synthetic recruiter of the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF114.1It binds to cysteine 8 (C8) in the intrinsically disordered region of RNF114 (RNF114-C8; IC50= 470 nM) and inhibits RNF114-induced autoubiquitination and p21 ubiquitination in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 50 μM. EN219 (1 μM) also interacts with cysteine residues in the tubulin β1 chain (TUBB1), heat shock protein 60 (Hsp60), also known as Hsp family D member 1 (HspD1), and histone H3.1 (HIST1H3A) in 231MFP human breast cancer cells in a proteomic profiling assay. It has been linked to the bromodomain and extra terminal domain (BET) inhibitor ligand (+)-JQ1 for use as a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) to degrade bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) in 231MFP cells. 1.Luo, M., Spradlin, J.N., Boike, L., et al.Chemoproteomics-enabled discovery of covalent RNF114-based degraders that mimic natural product functionCell Chem.
