| Targets |
The primary molecular target of Thalidomide-5-methyl is cereblon (CRBN), an E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor. As a ligand for the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, this compound binds to CRBN and recruits the ubiquitin-proteasome system. In the context of PROTAC technology, the thalidomide moiety serves as the E3 ligase recognition element, while the methyl group at the 5-position may modulate binding affinity and physicochemical properties.

| ln Vitro |
One ligand is for an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the other is for the target protein; these two ligands are joined by a linker to form PROTACs. The intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system is utilized by PROTACs to specifically destroy target proteins[1].
In vitro studies demonstrate that Thalidomide-5-methyl functions as a cereblon ligand in PROTAC molecules. The compound binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase via the CRBN protein. The methyl group at the 5-position may influence the binding affinity and selectivity for CRBN. This compound is designed to facilitate targeted protein degradation in cellular systems through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It is typically used as a synthetic building block in the preparation of complete PROTAC molecules. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data for Thalidomide-5-methyl as a standalone compound are not reported, as it is utilized as a synthetic building block or ligand in PROTAC design rather than as a therapeutic agent itself. The in vivo efficacy of PROTAC molecules incorporating this thalidomide-based ligand would depend on the specific target protein ligand and the overall pharmacokinetic properties of the complete PROTAC construct.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro assays for evaluating Thalidomide-5-methyl typically involve binding studies to assess its interaction with cereblon (CRBN), the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or fluorescence polarization techniques can be used to measure the binding affinity (Kd) between the thalidomide-based ligand and CRBN. Competition binding assays using fluorescently labeled probes are also commonly used to determine the inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the ligand for CRBN binding.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cell-based assays for Thalidomide-5-methyl typically involve its incorporation into PROTAC molecules followed by evaluation of target protein degradation in cultured cells. Cells are treated with PROTACs containing this thalidomide-based ligand, and the levels of the target protein are measured by Western blotting or immunofluorescence to assess degradation efficiency. Dose-response experiments are performed to determine the DC50 (half-maximal degradation concentration) of the PROTAC construct.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies using Thalidomide-5-methyl are conducted as part of the evaluation of complete PROTAC molecules that incorporate this thalidomide-based ligand. Typical protocols involve administering PROTAC constructs to mouse xenograft models or disease-relevant animal models, followed by assessment of target protein degradation in harvested tissues via Western blot or immunohistochemistry. Pharmacodynamic endpoints include measurement of target protein levels and downstream signaling pathway modulation.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a ligand building block rather than a therapeutic drug, comprehensive pharmacokinetic data for Thalidomide-5-methyl alone are limited. The compound has a molecular formula of C14H12N2O4 and a molecular weight of 272.26. The predicted density is 1.448 g/cm³. It has a purity of ≥98%. The IUPAC name is 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-methylisoindoline-1,3-dione.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Thalidomide-5-methyl as an individual compound is not extensively characterized, as it is primarily used as a research reagent and synthetic building block for PROTAC development. The compound is intended for research use only and is not approved for therapeutic use in humans. The thalidomide core structure is known to have teratogenic effects, and appropriate safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound.
