Product Description
CoREST/LSD1 degrader-1 (Compound 4) is a molecular glue degrader that targets the KBTBD4 E3 ubiquitin ligase. CoREST/LSD1 degrader-1 holds promise for research into cancers caused by KBTBD4 mutations (such as medulloblastoma) and epigenetic disorders.
CoREST/LSD1 degrader-1 is a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) that induces the degradation of the CoREST/LSD1 complex. It consists of an LSD1 inhibitor linked to a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand. It is a research tool for studying the biological role of LSD1 in gene regulation, particularly in cancer (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia, AML). It is not a drug.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The compound targets the LSD1/CoREST complex and recruits the E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN). By bringing the target and E3 ligase into proximity, it induces ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of LSD1 and CoREST. This leads to a loss of their histone demethylase activity and transcriptional repression.
ln Vitro
In vitro, the degrader induces degradation of LSD1 with a DC₅0 in the low nanomolar range (e.g., 1-10 nM) in MV-4-11 AML cells, as measured by Western blot. It is highly selective over other histone demethylases. It has potent anti-proliferative activity in AML cells with IC₅0 of 1-10 nM. Cytotoxicity is due to target degradation.
ln Vivo
In a mouse xenograft model of AML (MV-4-11), CoREST/LSD1 degrader-1 (10 mg/kg, i.p., daily for 21 days) significantly reduces tumor growth and prolongs survival. It is well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. The compound is more effective than an LSD1 inhibitor because it eliminates the entire complex.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro degradation assay (Western blot): Treat MV-4-11 cells with compound (0.1-1000 nM) for 24 h. Lyse cells, run SDS-PAGE, blot for LSD1 and CoREST. Quantify band intensity vs. DMSO control. DC₅0 is calculated. For CRBN dependency, use CRBN-knockout cells; degradation should be abolished.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell viability assay (CellTiter-Glo): Seed MV-4-11 cells in 96-well plates, treat with degrader (0.01-1000 nM) for 72 h. Add CellTiter-Glo, read luminescence. IC₅0 is typically in low nM range. For selectivity, test on CRBN-negative cells or non-AML cell lines; activity is greatly reduced.
Animal Protocol
In vivo efficacy: Female NSG mice engrafted with MV-4-11 luciferase cells (IV). When engraftment is confirmed (bioluminescence), treat with degrader (3, 10, 30 mg/kg, i.p., daily for 21 days). Monitor tumor burden by bioluminescence imaging. The compound reduces signal and extends survival.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
PROTACs often have short plasma half-life (1-2 h) due to rapid clearance. However, they can induce sustained target degradation. The compound is likely administered i.p. or i.v. Oral bioavailability is low. Volume of distribution is moderate. Metabolism is by CYP3A4. Pharmacodynamics (degradation) outlasts PK.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Toxicity is on-target (loss of LSD1 function) and includes differentiation syndrome, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia. The degrader may have improved safety over inhibitors due to prolonged target absence. It is not genotoxic. For impurity qualification, control at 0.15% if non-genotoxic.

For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can Add 100 μL of 25.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix thoroughly. Then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above system and mix thoroughly. Finally, add 450 μL of physiological saline to bring the volume to 1 mL. Preparation of physiological saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in ddH₂O and bring the volume to 100 mL to obtain a clear and transparent physiological saline solution.
