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
GSK973 is a highly selective and orally bioavailable inhibitor that targets the second bromodomains (BD2s) of the BET family. It exhibits a pIC 50 of 7.8 and a pK d of 8.7 specifically for BRD4 BD2. Additionally, GSK973 demonstrates a remarkable selectivity of 1600-fold for BRD4 BD2 over BRD4 BD1. Moreover, it displays good potency against BRD2 BD2, BRD3 BD2, and BRDT BD2, with pIC 50 ranging from 7.4 to 7.8 and pK d ranging from 8.3 to 8.5.
