Product Description
FC-11 is a PROTAC FAK degrader (DC90: 1 nM). FC-11 contains CRBN ligand Pomalidomide, linker and FAK ligand PF562271. FC-11 degrades FAK in a variety of cells, and the DC50s are: 310 pM in TM3, 80 pM in PA1, 330 pM in MDA-MB-436, 370 pM in LNCaP, and 40 pM in Ramos.
FC-11 is a highly potent PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimera) degrader of focal adhesion kinase (FAK). It is composed of the FAK inhibitor PF562271 linked to the Cereblon (CRBN) E3 ligase ligand Pomalidomide, enabling targeted degradation of FAK through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
FAK (focal adhesion kinase). FC-11 is a PROTAC that recruits CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase to FAK, leading to ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the FAK protein. This degradation-based mechanism eliminates both the enzymatic and scaffolding functions of FAK.
ln Vitro
FC-11 is a highly potent FAK degrader with a DC90 (concentration required for 90% degradation) of 1 nM. DC50 values (half-maximal degradation concentration) vary by cell line: 40 pM in Ramos cells, 80 pM in PA1 cells, 310 pM in TM3 cells, 330 pM in MDA-MB-436 cells, and 370 pM in LNCaP cells. It effectively reduces FAK protein levels in multiple cancer cell lines.
ln Vivo
FC-11 degrades FAK in multiple cancer cell lines with sub-nanomolar DC50 values. In xenograft mouse models, FC-11 has been used to investigate the non-enzymatic functions of FAK in tumor growth and metastasis. By eliminating FAK protein entirely rather than just inhibiting its kinase activity, FC-11 enables studies of FAK's scaffolding functions. The compound has shown efficacy in reducing tumor progression in preclinical models.
Enzyme Assay
FC-11 is a PROTAC, so traditional cell-free enzyme activity assays are not directly applicable. For binding assays, the interaction of FC-11 with CRBN can be assessed using TR-FRET-based assays with recombinant CRBN-DDB1 complex. Alternatively, a ternary complex formation assay using purified FAK, CRBN-DDB1, and FC-11 can be performed, measuring complex formation by SPR or AlphaLISA. For FAK degradation, no enzyme activity readout is used; instead, residual FAK protein is quantified by Western blot.
Cell Assay
Cancer cells (e.g., Ramos, PA1, TM3, MDA-MB-436, LNCaP) are seeded in 6-well or 96-well plates and treated with FC-11 at various concentrations (0.001-1000 nM) for 6-24 hours. After treatment, cells are lysed and FAK protein levels are quantified by Western blot using an anti-FAK antibody, normalized to a housekeeping protein (e.g., GAPDH). DC50 values are calculated from dose-response curves. Cell viability and proliferation are assessed by MTT or CellTiter-Glo assay. The effect of FAK degradation on downstream signaling (e.g., paxillin, Src, PI3K/AKT) can be analyzed by Western blot.
Animal Protocol
For in vivo studies, FC-11 is administered to mice bearing xenograft tumors (e.g., PA1 ovarian cancer, MDA-MB-436 breast cancer). Dosing routes and regimens are not specified in available literature but likely involve intraperitoneal injection at doses of 5-20 mg/kg daily or every other day. Tumor volumes are measured with calipers. At study termination, tumors are excised and FAK protein levels are quantified by Western blot or immunohistochemistry to confirm target degradation. Pharmacodynamic markers such as paxillin phosphorylation are also assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific PK data are reported for FC-11. The molecular weight is 949.91 (C41H42F3N13O9S). The compound is a PROTAC, which typically has higher molecular weight than traditional small molecules, potentially affecting oral bioavailability. It is soluble in DMSO (50-100 mg/mL). For in vivo studies, FC-11 is typically formulated with co-solvents (e.g., PEG400, Tween-80). PK parameters (t1/2, Cmax, AUC, oral bioavailability, tissue distribution) have not been characterized. Storage: 4degC or -20degC, protect from light.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicity data are reported for FC-11. As a PROTAC degrader of FAK, potential toxicities include effects on normal cell adhesion, migration, and survival, as FAK plays critical roles in integrin signaling. In published in vivo studies at reported doses, no overt toxicity (significant weight loss, behavioral changes, mortality) has been reported. However, comprehensive toxicological assessments have not been performed. No FDA approval. No clinical trials.
