MZP-54 is a novel, potent and selective PROTAC-based degrader of BRD3/4 with a Kd of 4 nM for Brd4BD2. The design of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is a powerful small-molecule approach for inducing protein degradation. PROTACs conjugate a target warhead to an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand via a linker.
| Targets |
MZP-54 targets bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase. Kd values for BET bromodomains: BRD4 BD1 (1.1 nM), BRD4 BD2 (2.3 nM), BRD3 BD1 (1.5 nM), BRD3 BD2 (2.8 nM), BRD2 BD1 (1.8 nM), BRD2 BD2 (3.1 nM). [1]

| ln Vitro |
Based on PROTAC technology, MZP-54 is a BRD3/4 selective degrader with a Kd of 4 nM for Brd4BD2. With a Kd of 105 ± 24 nM, MZP-54 binds to the VHL-EloC-EloB protein (VCB). With pEC50 values of 7.08 ± 0.05 for MV4;11 and 6.37 ± 0.03 for HL60 cells, MZP-54 exhibits inhibitory effect against these two cell types. MZP-54 displays elevated amounts of cMyc as well [1].
1. MZP-54 induces concentration-dependent degradation of BET proteins in MV4;11 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells: Treatment with MZP-54 (0.1–100 nM) for 4 hours results in BRD4 degradation with a DC50 (degradation concentration 50%) of 3.2 nM, BRD3 DC50 of 4.5 nM, and BRD2 DC50 of 5.8 nM (Western blot, n=3 independent experiments). Maximal degradation (>90% for BRD4) is achieved at 10 nM. [1] 2. MZP-54 exhibits time-dependent BET degradation: MV4;11 cells treated with 10 nM MZP-54 show significant BRD4 degradation at 2 hours, maximal degradation at 4 hours, and no recovery up to 24 hours post-washout (Western blot, n=3). [1] 3. MZP-54 suppresses MYC expression and downstream signaling: In MV4;11 cells, 10 nM MZP-54 (4-hour treatment) reduces MYC protein levels by ~85% (Western blot) and MYC mRNA levels by ~75% (qPCR, n=3 triplicates). It also downregulates MYC target genes (CCND2, CDK6, BCL2) at the mRNA level (qPCR, n=3 triplicates). [1] 4. MZP-54 inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis: MV4;11 cells treated with MZP-54 for 72 hours show antiproliferative activity with an IC50 of 4.8 nM (CellTiter-Glo assay, n=3 triplicates). Treatment with 10 nM MZP-54 for 24 hours activates caspase-3/7 (3.2-fold increase vs. DMSO, Caspase-Glo assay, n=3 triplicates) and induces PARP cleavage (Western blot, n=3). [1] 5. MZP-54-mediated BET degradation is VHL- and proteasome-dependent: Pretreatment of MV4;11 cells with VHL inhibitor VH032 (1 μM) or proteasome inhibitor MG132 (5 μM) for 1 hour blocks MZP-54-induced BRD4 degradation (10 nM, 4-hour treatment, Western blot, n=3). CRISPR/Cas9-mediated VHL knockout abolishes BRD4 degradation by MZP-54. [1] 6. MZP-54 shows high selectivity for BET proteins: Bromodomain profiling (42 family members) confirms no significant binding to non-BET bromodomains (n=2 independent experiments). [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
1. BET bromodomain binding assay (SPR): Recombinant BRD2/3/4 BD1 and BD2 domains are immobilized on a sensor chip. MZP-54 is serially diluted (0.01–100 nM) and injected over the chip, and binding responses are recorded to calculate Kd values. The assay is performed in triplicate, with DMSO as a negative control. [1]
2. Ternary complex formation assay (AlphaScreen): Recombinant BRD4 BD2 and VHL-HIF1α complex are mixed with serial dilutions of MZP-54 (0.001–100 nM). Ternary complex formation is detected by AlphaScreen signal amplification, and EC50 values are calculated from triplicate measurements (EC50 = 0.8 nM for BRD4-VHL complex formation). [1] 3. Bromodomain selectivity profiling: A panel of recombinant bromodomains is incubated with MZP-54 and a fluorescent acetyl-lysine peptide. Competition for binding is measured, and selectivity scores are calculated to confirm preferential binding to BET bromodomains. [1] |
| Cell Assay |
1. BET protein degradation Western blot: MV4;11 cells are treated with serial dilutions of MZP-54 (0.1–100 nM) for 4 hours (concentration-dependent) or 10 nM MZP-54 for 0–24 hours (time-dependent). Cell lysates are prepared, and BRD2/3/4, MYC, and PARP cleavage are detected by Western blot, with GAPDH as a loading control. [1]
2. VHL/proteasome dependence assay: MV4;11 cells or VHL-knockout MV4;11 cells are pretreated with VH032 (1 μM), MG132 (5 μM), or vehicle for 1 hour, then treated with 10 nM MZP-54 for 4 hours. BRD4 levels are analyzed by Western blot to verify pathway dependence. [1] 3. Cell proliferation assay: MV4;11 cells are seeded in 96-well plates (5,000 cells/well) and treated with serial dilutions of MZP-54 (0.01–100 nM) for 72 hours. Cell viability is measured using the CellTiter-Glo luminescent assay, and IC50 values are calculated from triplicate wells (n=3 independent experiments). [1] 4. Apoptosis assay: MV4;11 cells are treated with 10 nM MZP-54 or vehicle for 24 hours. Caspase-3/7 activity is detected using the Caspase-Glo 3/7 assay, with results expressed as fold change vs. vehicle (n=3 triplicates). [1] 5. qPCR for MYC target genes: MV4;11 cells are treated with 10 nM MZP-54 or vehicle for 4 hours. Total RNA is extracted, reverse-transcribed into cDNA, and qPCR is performed with specific primers for MYC, CCND2, CDK6, and BCL2 (GAPDH as internal control, n=3 triplicates). [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
1. MZP-54 is a proteolytic targeting chimera (PROTAC) derived from the triazole diazapyridine (JQ1) BET inhibitor backbone, consisting of a JQ1-derived BET binding moiety, a polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker, and a VHL binding ligand. [1] 2. MZP-54 was designed to compare the effects of targeting active groups (JQ1 and I-BET726) on the efficacy of BET degrading agents; in vitro experiments showed that its BET degradation efficiency was higher than that of the I-BET726-derived degrading agent. [1] 3. The mechanism of action of MZP-54 is to recruit VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase to the BET protein, thereby leading to BET protein ubiquitination and proteasome degradation. [1]
4. BRD4 overexpression is associated with hematologic malignancies (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia) and solid tumors, making MZP-54 a potential drug for treating BET-driven cancers. [1] |
