PROTACBRD2 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].
Thalidomide-NH-C4-NH2 TFA (compound 29c) is a conjugate consisting of an E3 ligase ligand-linker, incorporating the Thalidomide-based cereblon ligand and a linker moiety. This compound, Thalidomide-NH-C4-NH2 TFA, is utilized as a component in PROTACBRD2 BRD4 degrader-1, which is a highly potent and selective degrader targeting BET proteins BRD4 and BRD2[1].
