Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) plays a crucial role in the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription and some BRD4 inhibitors have been advanced to clinical trials. Nevertheless, the clinical application of BRD4 inhibitors could be limited by drug resistance. As an alternative strategy, the emerging Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) technology has the potential to overcome the drug resistance of traditional small-molecule drugs. Based on PROTACs approaches, several BRD4 degraders were developed and have been proved to degrade BRD4 protein and inhibit tumor growth. Herein, we present the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of pyrrolopyridone derivative-based BRD4 degraders. Four synthesized compounds displayed comparative potence against BRD4 BD1 with IC50 at low nanomolar concentrations. Anti-proliferative activity of 32a against BxPC3 cell line (IC50 = 0.165 μM) was improved by about 7-fold as compared to the BRD4 inhibitor ABBV-075. Furthermore, degrader 32a potently induced the degradation of BRD4 and inhibited the expression of c-Myc in BxPC3 cell line in a time-dependent manner. The exploration of intracellular antitumor mechanism showed 32a induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis effectively. All the results demonstrated that compound 32a could be considered as a potential BRD4 degrader for further investigation.

A series of (E)-3-(4-((2,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)oxy)-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-cyanoacrylamide derivatives were designed and synthesized as new estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) degraders based on the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) concept. One of the representative compounds 6c is capable of specifically degrading ERRα protein by >80% at a relatively low concentration of 30 nM, becoming one of the most potent and selective ERRα degraders to date. Compound 6c could be utilized as a new powerful research tool for further biological investigation of ERRα.

Paragraph 0092; 0103-0106, (2019/08/30)
The invention relates to a novel kind of pyrrolopyridone bifunctional molecule and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate and prodrug and a pharmaceutical composition using the compounds as active ingredients, and application in the preparation of these compounds and their pharmaceutical composition and in the treatment or prevention of tumors, inflammation, diseases related immunity, etc.The bifunctional molecule involved in the invention is a proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC). A small molecule inhibitor of BET protein and a Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein ligand in E3 ubiquitinligase complex are linked by a connecting arm to obtain the bifunctional molecule. The obtained compound can selectively induce the degradation of BET protein, and has significant anti-tumor effect.
