Product Description
SLF TFA is a synthetic ligand for FK506 binding protein (FKBP), with an affinity of 3.1 μM for FKBP51 and IC50 of 2.6 μM for FKBP12. It may be utilized to prepare PROTAC molecules.
SLF TFA (CAS#: 2378802-47-0) is a synthetic ligand for FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs), commonly used as a research tool in chemical biology and protein engineering. The TFA salt form enhances stability and handling. SLF TFA is widely employed in the synthesis of PROTAC (proteolysis-targeting chimera) molecules for targeted protein degradation studies.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SLF TFA primarily targets FK506-binding proteins, specifically FKBP12 and FKBP51. FKBP12 is a cytosolic prolyl isomerase that has been frequently used to study ligand-induced protein degradation. The compound exhibits an affinity of 3.1 microM for FKBP51 and an IC50 of 2.6 microM for FKBP12.
ln Vitro
Three segments (KB02, KB03, and KB05) show significant cysteine coverage with SLF ligands in the human proteome, when fused together, covering two distinct electrophilic groups (acrylamide and chloroacetamide). This ligand is reactive and specifically binds to FKBP12, a cytosolic prolyl isomerase that is widely employed in research on the degradation of proteins induced by ligands [3].
In vitro, SLF TFA demonstrates high-affinity binding to FKBP12, a cytosolic prolyl isomerase. Three scout fragments (KB02, KB03, and KB05) fused to the SLF ligand display broad cysteine reactivity in the human proteome. The compound is reactive and specifically binds to FKBP12, making it a valuable tool for studying ligand-induced protein degradation.
ln Vivo
In vivo activity data for SLF TFA are limited as it is primarily used as a chemical tool for in vitro PROTAC development rather than a therapeutic agent. Its in vivo effects are typically dependent on the specific PROTAC molecule in which it is incorporated. The compound's utility lies in its ability to recruit FKBP proteins for targeted degradation studies in cellular and potentially in vivo models.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro enzyme/receptor binding assay for SLF TFA typically involves competitive binding assays using purified FKBP12 or FKBP51 proteins. Radiolabeled or fluorescence-labeled FK506 analogs are used as tracers. The compound is incubated with the target protein and tracer, and binding affinity is determined by measuring displacement of the tracer. IC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Assays are performed in buffer systems at physiological pH.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for SLF TFA typically involve treating cultured cells with SLF TFA-containing PROTAC molecules to assess targeted protein degradation. Cells are incubated with the compound for varying time points (e.g., 4-24 hours), followed by western blot analysis to measure target protein levels. Cellular viability and proliferation can be assessed using MTT or CCK-8 assays. Degradation efficiency is quantified by densitometry analysis of protein bands.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies using SLF TFA are typically conducted in the context of specific PROTAC molecules rather than SLF TFA alone. Standard protocols involve administration of the PROTAC compound via intravenous, intraperitoneal, or oral routes in rodent models. Tissue samples are collected at various time points for pharmacokinetic analysis and target protein degradation assessment by immunohistochemistry or western blot. Tumor xenograft models may be used for efficacy evaluation.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic properties of SLF TFA are primarily characterized in the context of PROTAC molecules. The compound has high DMSO solubility (200 mg/mL, approximately 313 mM). The TFA salt form enhances solubility compared to the free base. As a small molecule ligand, it is expected to have favorable cell permeability. Detailed PK parameters such as half-life, clearance, and bioavailability are dependent on the specific PROTAC conjugate formulation.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for SLF TFA alone are limited. As a research chemical, it is handled with standard laboratory safety precautions. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use. Toxicity profiles are typically evaluated in the context of specific PROTAC molecules during preclinical development. Standard in vitro cytotoxicity assays (e.g., MTT on various cell lines) and in vivo tolerability studies in rodents would be applicable for safety assessment.

Additional Infomation
SLF TFA is a synthetic FKBP ligand widely used as a building block in PROTAC technology. It enables the design of bifunctional molecules that recruit FKBP12 as an E3 ligase adaptor for targeted protein degradation. The compound is available as a trifluoroacetate salt form for improved stability. It is strictly for research purposes and has not been approved for clinical use. SLF TFA is a valuable tool for studying protein homeostasis and developing novel therapeutic strategies.
