Potent and selective BTK Degrader (IC50 = 5.1 nM); degrades BTK in a proteasome- and CRBN-dependent manner. Suppresses BTK signaling and proliferation in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) cells by degrading BTK, IKFZ1, and IKFZ3 (3 validated targets in B-cell malignancies). Also degrades Ibrutinib (Cat. No. 6813) -resistant C481S-BTK mutant cancer cells. Exhibits no binding against a panel of 468 kinases at 1 μM. Reduces tumor burden and extends survival in lymphoma patient-derived xenograft models.
C6 urea ceramide is an inhibitor of neutral ceramidase.1 It increases total ceramide levels in wild-type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and in HT-29 colon cancer cells but not in MEFs lacking neutral ceramidase. It inhibits proliferation of, and induces apoptosis and autophagy in HT-29, but not non-cancerous RIE-1, cells when used at concentrations of 5 and 10 μM. C6 urea ceramide decreases total β-catenin, increases phosphorylated β-catenin, and induces colocalization of β-catenin with the 20S proteasomein HT-29 and HCT116, but not RIE-1, cells. It reduces tumor growth and increases C16, C18, C20, and C24 ceramide levels in tumor tissue in an HT-29 mouse xenograft model when administered at doses of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg for five days. |1.

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].

KZR-616, a first-in-class inhibitor of the immunoproteasome, selectively targets the LMP7 (IC50: 39/57 nM=hLMP7/mLMP7) and LMP2 (IC50: 131/179 nM=hLMP7/mLMP7) subunits of the immunoproteasome. KZR-616 has the potential for the research of multiple autoimmune diseases[1][2]. KZR-616 also inhibits MECL-1 subunit (IC50=623 nM) and constitutive proteasome β5 subunit (IC50=688 nM). KZR-616 maintains LMP7 and LMP2 selective inhibition in MOLT-4 cells.
