PROTAC BRD2 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].
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 PROTAC BRD4 Degrader-2[1].
TW9 is a dual inhibitor of bromodomain 2 (BD2) in bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1; IC50s = 0.074 and 0.29 μM, respectively).1It is selective for BD2 over BD1 inBRD4 (IC50= 0.72 μM) and for HDAC1 over HDAC2 (IC50= 2.5 μM). TW9 (50 nM) induces apoptosis in, and inhibits proliferation of, MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells. It induces cell cycle arrest at the G1phase in HPAC pancreatic cancer cells when used at a concentration of 2 μM. TW9 acts synergistically with gemcitabine to reduce the viability of HPAC cells. 1.Zhang, X., Zegar, T., Weiser, T., et al.Characterization of a dual BET HDAC inhibitor for treatment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomaInt.

CAY17c is an inhibitor of bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4; IC50= 0.71 μM), as well as class I histone deacetylases (HDACs; IC50s = 0.046, 0.058, 0.075, and 0.167 μM for HDAC1, -2, -3, and -8, respectively) and class IIb HDACs (IC50s = 0.073 and 0.923 μM for HDAC6 and HDAC10, respectively).1It is selective for these enzymes over BRD2, -3, and -T (IC50s = >20 μM for all), as well as over HDAC4, -5, -7, -9, and -11 (IC50s = >10 μM for all). CAY17c inhibits the proliferation of HCT116, SW620, and DLD-1 colorectal cancer cells (IC50s = 0.45, 1.78, and 2.11 μM, respectively), as well as induces apoptosis and autophagy in HCT116 cells. It reduces tumor growth in an HCT116 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 15 and 30 mg/kg. 1.Pan, Z., Li, X., Wang, Y., et al.Discovery of thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based hydroxamic acid derivatives as bromodomain-containing protein 4/histone deacetylase dual inhibitors induce autophagic cell death in colorectal carcinoma cellsJ.

BRD4 Inhibitor-15 (compound 13) is a highly potent and specific inhibitor of BRD4, effectively inhibiting it with an IC50 of 18 nM. By regulating the Bcl-2 Bax proteins and activating the caspase-3 signaling pathway, BRD4 Inhibitor-15 induces apoptosis of 22RV1 cells. Additionally, it effectively down-regulates the c-Myc level in 22RV1 cells. Due to its properties, BRD4 Inhibitor-15 is a valuable compound for research related to prostate cancer [1].
BRD4-BD1 2-IN-1 is a highly effective inhibitor of BRD4, specifically targeting the BRD4 BD-1 and BRD4 BD-2 domains with IC 50 values of <100 nM each (US20150148375A1, compound 5) [1].
