PROTACs employ the proteosome-mediated proteolysis via E3 ligase and recruit the natural protein degradation machinery to selectively degrade the cancerous proteins. Herein, we have designed and synthesized heterobifunctional small molecules that consist of different linkers tethering KRIBB11, a HSF1 inhibitor, with pomalidomide, a commonly used E3 ligase ligand for anticancer drug development.

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) hijacking the cereblon (CRBN) E3 ubiquitin ligase have emerged as a novel paradigm in drug development. Herein we found that linker attachment points of CRBN ligands highly affect their aqueous stability and neosubstrate degradation features. This work provides a blueprint for the assembly of future heterodimeric CRBN-based degraders with tailored properties.
PHOTO INDUCED CONTROL OF PROTEIN DESTRUCTION

By hijacking endogenous E3 ligase to degrade protein targets via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, PROTACs (PRoteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) provide a new strategy to inhibit protein targets that were previously regarded as undruggable. The compounds described herein comprise a photolabile group on PROTACs, enabling the degradation of protein targets in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. By adding a photolabile caging group on ubiquitin recruiting moieties, light-inducible protein degradation was acheived. These opto-PROTACs display no activity in the dark, while restricted degradation can be induced at a specific time and rate by UVA-irradiation. Accordingly, these compounds provide light-controlled PROTACs and methods of using such compounds.
