Piclidenoson is a First-in-Class and Orally Active A3AR Agonist
One of the main strategies for cancer research is the identification of drugs that can cause apoptotic death in malignant cells. Additionally, Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), UTP, and adenosine are considered that inhibit the growth of several cancerous cell lines. Adenosine has several physiological and pharmacological functions. It can modulate...
ICCB280 is a Potent C/EBPα Inducer with Anti-Leukemic Properties
Knowledge of the pathogenesis of AML has seen great progress due to recent advances in genetic studies. However, the long-term survival of AML patients is still unsatisfactory. A block in differentiation is one of the characteristics of leukemia. C/EBPα is an essential transcription factor for the differentiation of cells...
MZP-54 is a Selective BRD3/4 PROTAC Degrader
PROTACs are bivalent chemical protein degraders. In particular, PROTACs degrade a specific endogenous protein of interest (POI) by harnessing the E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway. Especially, PROTACs is a powerful small-molecule approach for inducing protein degradation. Moreover, PROTACs conjugate a target warhead to an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand via a...
dFKBP-1 is a Potent and PROTAC-based FKBP12 Degrader
The FK506-binding protein 12 (FKBP12) is a ubiquitous abundant protein that acts as a receptor for the immunosuppressant drug FK506l FK506 binds tightly to intracellular calcium release channels and to the TGF-β type I receptor. dFKBP-1 is a potent and PROTAC-based FKBP12 degrader. FKBP12 inhibits the basal signaling of...
GNE-987, a BET PROTAC Degrader, is a Part of PROTAC-Antibody (CLL1) Conjugate for ADC
BRD4 is a member of the BET family of proteins (BRD2, 3, 4, and T). It functions as an epigenetic “reader” of acetylated histone lysine residues via its two bromodomain motifs (BD1 and BD2). Disruption of BRD4-histone interactions is an attractive strategy for the development of novel anti-cancer agents....
SIAIS178 is a Potent and Selective PROTAC-Based BCR-ABL Degrader
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) work by inducing selective intracellular proteolysis rather than acting as a conventional enzyme inhibitor. Besides, PROTACs consists of two covalently linked protein-binding molecules. One can engage an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and another binds to a target protein meant for degradation. Moreover, PROTACs need only to...
BETd-260 is a Potent PROTAC BET Degrader
The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family proteins consist of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and testis-specific BRDT members. They are epigenetic “readers” and play a key role in the regulation of gene transcription. BET proteins are attractive therapeutic targets for cancer and other human diseases. In this study, BETd-260 is capable...
