PROTACBRD4 Degrader-10, also known as compound 8b, is a dual ligand-based PROTAC that combines ligands for von Hippel-Lindau and BRD4. To degrade the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells, PROTACBRD4 Degrader-10 can be conjugated with STEAP1 and CLL1 antibodies, with respective DC 50 values of 1.3 nM and 18 nM.
PROTACBRD4 Degrader-15 is a chemical compound consisting of a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) linked to ligands specific to von Hippel-Lindau and BRD4. It exhibits an IC50 of 7.2 nM for BRD4 BD1 and 8.1 nM for BRD4 BD2. Additionally, PROTACBRD4 Degrader-15 demonstrates potent degradation activity against the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells.
PROTACBRD4 Degrader-13 (compound 9d) is a bioactive compound that functions as a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC), linking ligands for von Hippel-Lindau and BRD4 proteins. In the context of PC3 prostate cancer cells, this compound effectively degrades the BRD4 protein through conjugation with STEAP1 and CLL1 antibodies. The degradation of BRD4 protein is achieved with remarkable potency, exhibiting a DC 50 of 0.025 nM and 6.0 nM when combined with STEAP1 and CLL1 antibodies, respectively.
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 PROTACBRD4 Degrader-2[1].
