MD-222, a pioneering, highly potent PROTAC degrader targeting MDM2, efficiently mediates the rapid degradation of MDM2 protein and activates wild-type p53 within cells, showcasing significant anticancer effects[1][2].
Potent and selective cereblon degrader (DC50 = 1.5 nM). Induces complete degradation of cereblon in MM1S cells. Comprises a cereblon E3 ligase ligand joined by a linker to a ligand for the E3 ligase VHL. Cell-permeable.
