GNE-987 is a highly active chimeric BET degrader. GNE-987 binds equipotently to the BD1 and BD2 bromodomains of BRD4 with low nanomolar affinities (IC50: 4.7 and 4.4 nM, respectively). GNE-987 exhibits picomolar cell BRD4 degradation activity (DC50: 0.03
PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-15 is a chemical compound consisting of a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) linked to ligands specific to von Hippel-Lindau and BRD4. It exhibits an IC50 of 7.2 nM for BRD4 BD1 and 8.1 nM for BRD4 BD2. Additionally, PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-15 demonstrates potent degradation activity against the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells.
dBRD4-BD1 is a selective BRD4 bromodomain inhibitor. dBRD4-BD1 can selectively degrade BRD4 (DC50 = 280 nM). Notably, dBRD4-BD1 upregulates BRD2/3, a result not observed with degraders using pan-BET ligands. Designing BRD4 selectivity up front enables analysis of BRD4 biology without wider BET-inhibition and simplifies designing BRD4-selective heterobifunctional molecules, such as degraders with new E3 recruiting ligands or for additional probes beyond degraders.
PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-8 is a potent BRD4 inhibitor, with IC50s of 1.1 nM and 1.4 nM for BRD4 BD1 and BD2, respectively. PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-8 is capable of potently degrading the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells[1].
PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-8 (compound 8; 6 days) inhibits the proliferation of PC3 prostate cancer cells, with an IC50 of 28 nM[1].PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-8 (4 h) suppresses MYC gene transcript in MV4-11 AML cells, with an IC50 of 11 nM[1].PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-8 (4 h) potently degrades the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells, with an DC50 of 7.5 nM[1].
