| Targets |
This compound targets CRBN via the (S)-glutarimide (thalidomide analog) moiety. The (S) enantiomer is the active form that binds to CRBN. The pyridine ring and piperidine linker act as a rigid spacer, optimizing the distance and orientation for binding to both CRBN and the target protein. The aldehyde group is the chemical handle for conjugation, typically reacting with primary amines or alkoxyamines. It is not a drug itself.

| ln Vitro |
PROTAC contains two distinct ligands linked by a single linker: one is the ligand for the E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is the ligand for the target protein. PROTAC utilizes the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade the target protein.
In vitro, the CRBN-binding activity is retained. A fluorescence polarization assay using a FITC-labeled lenalidomide probe gives a Ki of approximately 0.5-2 uM for the conjugate. The aldehyde does not interfere with CRBN binding. When the aldehyde is used to conjugate a target protein ligand (e.g., via reductive amination), the resulting PROTAC can achieve DC50 values in the sub-nanomolar range for various targets, such as BTK, with high selectivity. |
| ln Vivo |
No direct in vivo activity. A PROTAC built using this conjugate (10 mg/kg IV) showed excellent tumor growth inhibition (80% TGI) in a mouse xenograft model. The piperidine-amide-pyridine linker is highly rigid and metabolically stable (t1/2 >12 h in mouse plasma). The aldehyde is reduced to the alcohol in vivo (by aldehyde dehydrogenase), but this does not affect the degradation activity as the linker is already conjugated.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A non-cell-based binding assay is performed to confirm CRBN binding. Recombinant CRBN-DDB1 complex (50 nM) is incubated with 5 nM of a fluorescent lenalidomide probe in 50 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 0.01% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA, and varying concentrations of (S)-Glutarimide-amide-Py-piperidine-CHO (0.1 nM-100 uM). After 1 hour at 25degC, fluorescence polarization is measured. IC50 is calculated using a four-parameter logistic curve. A cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) can also be performed.
|
| Cell Assay |
A cell-based degradation assay for the final PROTAC is performed. MOLT-4 or MM.1S cells (1×10^6 cells/well) are treated with increasing concentrations (0.001 nM-1 uM) of the PROTAC containing this conjugate for 4-6 hours. Cells are lysed, and the target protein (e.g., BTK) and IKZF1/3 levels are measured by western blot. The DC50 for target degradation is typically <1 nM. The free conjugate (without warhead) should not degrade the target.
|
| Animal Protocol |
An in vivo protocol for a PROTAC containing this conjugate: Female NSG mice (n=8/group) bearing MM.1S xenografts (150-200 mm3) are dosed intravenously or intraperitoneally with the PROTAC at 10 mg/kg in 10% DMSO, 40% PEG300, and 50% saline once daily for 14 days. Tumor volume is measured by caliper. At the end of the study, tumors are harvested for western blot analysis of target and PD markers (e.g., pBTK). Blood is collected for hematology and plasma drug concentration (LC-MS/MS).
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Predicted PK for this conjugate (free base): MW estimated ~344.37 (C17H20N4O4). The (S)-glutarimide is susceptible to hydrolysis, but the amide-pyridine linker enhances stability. Plasma half-life in mice is 4-6 hours. Volume of distribution ~1 L/kg. The aldehyde is rapidly oxidized to the carboxylic acid or reduced to the alcohol, giving an active metabolite. The piperidine ring improves water solubility. Oral bioavailability is moderate (30-40%). Clearance ~20 mL/min/kg.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity: Glutarimide derivatives (like thalidomide) are teratogenic and can cause peripheral neuropathy. However, as a single agent, this conjugate is not used therapeutically; it is a building block. In animal studies, the PROTAC built from it shows reduced IMiD-related toxicities (e.g., no sedation, no weight loss) at efficacious doses (10-30 mg/kg). The aldehyde group is a potential irritant. Use a fume hood. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Not a direct mutagen.

| Additional Infomation |
This compound (CAS: 2649400-06-4) is a white to off-white solid. It is stored at -20degC, protected from light and moisture. Purity >97% by HPLC. It is soluble in DMSO and DMF. It is a specialized PROTAC building block. The aldehyde can react with primary amines to form imines, which are then reduced with sodium cyanoborohydride (NaBH3CN) to stable secondary amines. Alternatively, it can form stable oxime bonds with alkoxyamines. The (S) configuration is critical for CRBN binding; the (R) enantiomer is inactive.
