PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 is the first potent IDO1 (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1) degrader that hijacks IDO1 to CRBN E3 ligase to introduce IDO1 into UPS and eventually achieve ubiquitination and degradation (DC50=2.84 μM). PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 moderately improves the tumor-killing activity of H ER2 CAR-T cells[1].
PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 (compound 2c) (10 μM; 24 hours) notably decreases IDO1 level induced by IFN-γ[1].PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 and IFN-γ (5 ng/mL) are incubated with HeLa cells for 24 h, and a significant dose-dependent degradation is observed. PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 combined with chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells can improve the tumor-killing activity of HER-2 CAR-T cells[1].PROTAC IDO1 Degrader-1 induces significant and persistent degradation of IDO1 with maximum degradation (dmax) of 93% in HeLa cells[1].

EGFR/HER2-IN-7 is a highly selective and potent anticancer compound specifically designed to target MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It functions as a dual inhibitor, targeting both EGFR/HER2 kinases and DHFR (dihydrofolate reductase). Its inhibitory activities are measured with IC50 values of 0.18 μM for EGFR, 0.146 μM for HER2, and 0.907 μM for DHFR [1].
EGFR/HER2/DHFR-IN-1 is a highly selective and potent anticancer compound specifically targeting MCF-7 breast cancer cells. It acts as a multi-inhibitor, targeting the EGFR/HER2 kinase and DHFR enzymes, with IC50 values of 0.153 μM, 0.108 μM, and 0.291 μM, respectively. Its mechanism of action involves cell cycle arrest at the G1/S phase and induction of apoptosis in cells [1].
