Amino-PEG10-amine is a PEG-based PROTAC linker employed for the conjugation of two mono diethylstilbestrol (DES)-based ligands. This compound offers an alternative approach to the synthesis of highly selective and active ER antagonists, which are crucial for the advancement of endocrine therapy in breast cancer treatment[1].
PROTAC ER Degrader-2 serves as a synthesis intermediate for the production of PAC, a compound that incorporates the ADCs linker and PROTACs, which are subsequently conjugated to an antibody. PAC, exhibits a greater capability to degrade estrogen receptor-alpha (ERα) compared to PROTAC (without the presence of an antibody)[1].
SNIPER(ER)-110 comprises a cIAP1 ligand and an estrogen ligand connected by a linker. SNIPER(ER)-51 induces estrogen receptor (ER) protein degradation with DC50s of <3 nM and 7.7 nM after 4 h and 48 h, respectively [1].
SNIPER(ER)-87 is a chemical compound composed of a derivative of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) ligand LCL161 conjugated to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) ligand 4-hydroxytamoxifen using a PEG linker. It effectively degrades the ERα protein with an IC50 value of 0.097 μM. Within cells, SNIPER(ER)-87 selectively recruits XIAP to ERα, and XIAP functions as the primary E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for the degradation of ERα induced by SNIPER(ER)-87[1][2].
KUS121 is a valosin-containing protein (VCP) modulator that inhibits VCP ATPase activity (IC50= 330 nM).1It inhibits cell death, ATP depletion, and upregulation of C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) induced by tunicamycin, an inducer of ER stress, in HeLa cells when used at concentrations of 20, 50, and 50 μM, respectively. KUS121 (100 μM) inhibits ATP depletion and cell death induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in rat primary cortical neurons in anin vitromodel of cerebral ischemia.2It reduces infarction volume and increases the latency to fall in an accelerating rotarod test in a mouse model of focal cerebral ischemia induced by transient distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) when administered at a dose of 100 mg/kg immediately following occlusion and again at 50 mg/kg following reperfusion. KUS121 (50 mg/kg) inhibits thinning of the retinal outer nuclear layer and preserves visual function in an rd10 mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa.1 1.Ikeda, H.O., Sasaoka, N., Koike, M., et al.Novel VCP modulators mitigate major pathologies of rd10, a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosaSci.

mEH-IN-1 (Compound 62) is a potent inhibitor of microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH), with an IC50 value of 2.2 nM. mEH is an α β-fold hydrolase enzyme that is widely expressed in various mammalian tissues, responsible for the hydrolysis of a diverse range of epoxide-containing molecules. This enzyme is primarily localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of eukaryotic cells. Research involving mEH-IN-1 can contribute to the understanding of preeclampsia, hypercholanemia, and cancer [1].
