DC50: 2.56 μM (Hexokinase 2, HK2 in 4T1); 0.79 μM ((Hexokinase 2, HK2 in MDA-MB-231)
PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 targets hexokinase 2 (HK2), a key enzyme in the glycolytic pathway that is frequently overexpressed in cancer cells. HK2 couples glycolysis to mitochondrial function and plays a role in protecting cells from apoptosis. The compound consists of the HK2 inhibitor lonidamine (target-binding moiety) and the CRBN ligand thalidomide (E3 ligase-recruiting moiety). It induces CRBN-dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of HK2. |

| ln Vitro |
PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 has an IC50 of 34.07 μM, 5.08 μM, 31.53 μM, 6.11 μM, and 21.65 μM for suppressing the growth of 786-O, 4T1, PANC-1, HGC-27, and MCF-1 cells, respectively [1]. PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1's DC50 against HK2 is 2.56 μM (4T1) and 0.79 μM (MDA-MB-231) [1]. Time- and concentration-dependent, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 (0.01-200 μM, 36 h) specifically suppresses the growth of breast cancer cells and promotes the ubiquitin-mediated proteasome pathway-mediated degradation of HK2 protein [1]. To degrade the HK2 protein, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 forms a ternary complex through the ubiquitin-proteasome system (10 μM for 4T1, 0.5 μM for MDA-MB-231, 24 h) [1]. This phrase can be included in the general product description and utilized as a mechanism. By degrading HK2, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 (20 μM, 36 h) activates caspase-3, releases cytochrome C, cleaves GSDME, induces a thermal coma, and causes cells to produce harmful signals like ATP, HMGB1, CRT, etc., ultimately resulting in caused cell death. immunity to demise [1]. The overall amount of PD-L1 protein can be decreased by inducing the internalization of the protein from the cell membrane to the cytoplasm using PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 (20 μM, 36 h) [1].
In vitro, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 forms a ternary complex through the ubiquitin-proteasome system to degrade hexokinase 2 (HK2) protein, inducing mitochondrial damage and triggering pyroptosis. It selectively inhibits the proliferation of breast cancer cells. The compound induces mitochondrial damage, leading to programmed cell death. The degradation of HK2 disrupts glycolysis and mitochondrial function, which are critical for cancer cell survival. |
| ln Vivo |
In the 4T1 tumor model, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, bid, for nine times, six-week-old female BALB/c mice) suppresses tumor growth [1]. PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 (50 mg/kg, intraperitoneal injection, daily, nine times, in six-week-old female BALB/c mice) can successfully limit the growth of breast tumors and produce a GSDME-dependent heat reaction as well as elicit a tumor immunological response. [1]. Protac HK2 Degrader-1 (Cisplatin (HY-17394) 10mg/kg, iv, C-02 50mg/kg, ip, 25 days, six-week-old female BALB/c mice) has the potential to be clinically useful since it can sensitize cisplatin while lowering its intestinal adverse effects [1].
In vivo, PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 can effectively suppress the growth of breast tumors and reduce the colonic side effects of cisplatin. The compound may be utilized in breast cancer research to study HK2 degradation as a therapeutic strategy. By degrading HK2, it induces mitochondrial damage and pyroptosis, leading to tumor growth inhibition. Specific dosing and tumor model data are not provided. |
| Enzyme Assay |
A cell-free binding assay for PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 is not typical. To assess the binding of the lonidamine moiety to HK2, a biochemical assay using purified HK2 protein and a fluorescent glucose analog can be performed. Alternatively, SPR can measure the binding affinity of the PROTAC to HK2. For CRBN binding, a TR-FRET-based competition assay with recombinant CRBN and a fluorescent thalidomide probe can be used.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[1]
Cell Types: 4T1, MDA-MB-231, PUMC-HUVEC-T1 Tested Concentrations: 20 μM Incubation Duration: 72 h(MTT), 48 h(CCK-8) Experimental Results: demonstrated the greatest impact on 4T1 and HGC-27 cells, with IC50 dosages of 5.08 and 6.11 μM. Selectively suppressed breast cancer cell proliferation and stimulates HK2 protein degradation. Prevented 4T1 cells to form a colony and had little influence on HUVECT-1. Western Blot Analysis[1] Cell Types: 4T1, MDAMB-231 Tested Concentrations: 20 μM; 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200 μM; 10 μM; 0.5 μM. Incubation Duration: 36 h ; 24 h Experimental Results: Degraded 71.06% of HK2 at 20 μM in 4T1 and MDAMB-231 cells. DC50=2.56 μM(4T1) and 0.79 μM(MDA-MB-231), respectivley. Promoted the degradation of HK2 protein within 12 h, with the greatest degradation impact at 36 h in 4T1 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells. Degradation capacity was decreased, because pretreatment with Tha and LND occupy the protein pocket and disrupt the formation of the ternary complex of HK2, CRB HK2-expressing breast cancer cells (e.g., MCF-7 or MDA-MB-231) are seeded in 96-well plates. Cells are treated with PROTAC HK2 Degrader-1 at varying concentrations (0.1-1000 nM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is measured by MTT or CellTiter-Glo. HK2 protein levels are assessed by Western blot. Mitochondrial damage is evaluated by JC-1 staining (loss of mitochondrial membrane potential) or by measuring ATP levels. Pyroptosis is assessed by GSDMD cleavage and LDH release. |
