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].
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].
PROTACBRD4 Degrader-8 is a potent BRD4 inhibitor, with IC50s of 1.1 nM and 1.4 nM for BRD4 BD1 and BD2, respectively. PROTACBRD4 Degrader-8 is capable of potently degrading the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells[1]. PROTACBRD4 Degrader-8 (compound 8; 6 days) inhibits the proliferation of PC3 prostate cancer cells, with an IC50 of 28 nM[1].PROTACBRD4 Degrader-8 (4 h) suppresses MYC gene transcript in MV4-11 AML cells, with an IC50 of 11 nM[1].PROTACBRD4 Degrader-8 (4 h) potently degrades the BRD4 protein in PC3 prostate cancer cells, with an DC50 of 7.5 nM[1].
