Product Description
Tagarafdeg (CFT-1946) is an orally bioactive and selective BRAF kinase targeting ligand. CFT1946 is a degrader of mutant BRAFV600E, G469A, G466V, and p61-BRAFV600E. CFT1946 may be utilized in tumor research.
Tagarafdeg (CFT1946) is an orally bioavailable heterobifunctional protein degrader targeting the v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) mutant V600E, with potential antineoplastic activity. Tagarafdeg is comprised of a cereblon (CRBN)-binding moiety and a BRAF V600E-binding moiety. Upon oral administration, tagarafdeg binds to BRAF V600E via its BRAF V600E-binding moiety. Following binding, the CRBN-binding moiety recruits CRBN, a component of the CRL4-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, leading to ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-mediated degradation of BRAF V600E. This degradation inhibits the over-activated MAPK signaling pathway in BRAF V600E-expressing tumor cells, thereby reducing tumor cell proliferation. BRAF is a member of the raf/mil family of serine/threonine protein kinases and plays a key role in regulating the MAP kinase/ERKs signaling pathway. The valine-to-glutamic acid substitution at residue 600 (V600E) accounts for the majority of BRAF gene mutations, and the resulting oncogenic product, BRAF V600E, exhibits markedly elevated kinase activity that drives hyperactivation of the MAPK signaling pathway.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Mutant BRAF (including V600E, G469A, G466V, and the p61-BRAFV600E splice variant). CFT1946 is a bifunctional degradation activating compound (BiDACTM) degrader comprising a BRAF kinase domain targeting ligand linked to a cereblon ligand. It selectively degrades mutant BRAF with a DC50 of 14 nmol/L for BRAF V600E (at 24 hours). [1,2]
ln Vitro
BRAF V600E Degradation and Pathway Inhibition: In A375 cells (BRAF V600E mutant), CFT1946 degrades BRAF V600E with a DC50 of 14 nmol/L and an Emax of 26% at 24 hours. It inhibits ERK phosphorylation with an IC50 of 11 nmol/L at 24 hours and inhibits cell proliferation with a GI50 of 94 nmol/L at 96 hours. [1,2]
Mechanism of Degradation Validation: CFT1946-induced BRAF V600E degradation is dependent on cereblon and the proteasome. Degradation is blocked by competition with a cereblon ligand, the CUL4 E3 ligase inhibitor MLN4924, or the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. [2]
Activity Against Non-V600 Mutants: CFT1946 degrades BRAF G469A (Class II), G466V (Class III) mutants, and the p61-BRAFV600E splice variant (as shown in heterologous expression systems in HEK293T cells). In the BRAF G466V heterozygous lung tumor cell line H1666, CFT1946 inhibits proliferation, whereas encorafenib is ineffective. [1,2]
Selectivity: CFT1946 exhibits exquisite selectivity for BRAF V600E. Proteome profiling in A375 cells shows degradation selectivity is limited to BRAF V600E, with no effect on wild-type BRAF or CRAF. In HepG2 cells (wild-type BRAF), the GI50 is >10 μmol/L, and there is no activity in KRAS-mutant HCT116 cells. [1,2]
Activity in Resistance Models: In an engineered BRAF inhibitor resistance model, A375-BRAFV600E/NRASQ61K double mutant cells, CFT1946 effectively degrades BRAF V600E, with an IC50 of 42 nmol/L for pERK inhibition (at 1 hour) and a GI50 of 150 nmol/L for cell proliferation inhibition (at 96 hours). [2]
ln Vivo
Antitumor Efficacy: In A375 xenograft models (BRAF V600E), oral administration of CFT1946 (10 mg/kg, BID) results in sustained tumor regression, identified as the minimum efficacious dose. In the BRAFi-resistant A375-NRASQ61K xenograft model, CFT1946 as a single agent and in combination with a MEK inhibitor shows tumor growth inhibition and regression, demonstrating superior efficacy compared to a BRAF inhibitor. [2]
Enzyme Assay
BRAF Kinase Inhibition Constant: The inhibitory constant (Ki) of CFT1946 for BRAF V600E was determined via kinase activity assays to be 0.1 nmol/L. [2]
Cereblon Binding Affinity: The dissociation constant (Kd) of CFT1946 for cereblon was determined using fluorescence polarization to be 11 nmol/L. [2]
Cell Assay
HiBiT Degradation Assay: A cell line expressing HiBiT-tagged BRAF V600E was treated with various concentrations of CFT1946. After lysis, luminescence was measured to quantify protein levels for DC50 and Emax calculations. [2]
Cell Proliferation Inhibition Assay: Cell lines such as A375, HCT116, and H1666 were seeded in plates and treated with various concentrations of CFT1946 for 96 hours. Cell viability was assessed to calculate GI50 values. [1,2]
Western Blot Analysis: Cells treated with CFT1946 were lysed, and protein levels of BRAF V600E, pERK, and total ERK were detected using specific antibodies to assess target degradation and downstream signaling inhibition. [2]
Mechanism of Action Validation: A375 cells were treated with CFT1946 alone or in combination with a cereblon ligand, MLN4924, or bortezomib. BRAF V600E levels were analyzed by Western blot to confirm mechanism dependency. [2]
Animal Protocol
In Vivo Efficacy Study (A375 Xenograft): A375 cells were implanted subcutaneously in mice. When tumors reached a certain size, mice were randomized and treated orally with various doses of CFT1946 (including 10 mg/kg) twice daily. Tumor volumes were measured to assess antitumor activity and determine the minimum efficacious dose. [2]
In Vivo Efficacy Study (Resistance Model): A375-NRASQ61K cells were implanted subcutaneously in mice. When tumors reached a certain size, mice were randomized and treated orally with CFT1946 alone or in combination with a MEK inhibitor twice daily. Tumor volumes were measured to evaluate efficacy in a resistance model. [2]
In Vivo Pharmacokinetic Study: In mice and rats, CFT1946 was administered intravenously or orally. Blood samples were collected, and plasma drug concentrations were analyzed by LC-MS/MS to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters. [2]
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Mouse Pharmacokinetics: CFT1946 exhibits an observed clearance (CLobs) of 0.8 mL/min/kg and an oral bioavailability (F%) of 89% in mice. [2]
Rat Pharmacokinetics: CFT1946 exhibits an observed clearance (CLobs) of 0.5 mL/min/kg and an oral bioavailability (F%) of 89% in rats. [2]
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Based on the provided preclinical data (AACR 2022 abstract and C4 Therapeutics presentation), no specific toxicity or toxicokinetic parameters (such as maximum tolerated dose, organ-specific toxicity, or plasma protein binding) were detailed for Tagarafdeg (CFT1946). The available information focuses on its favorable pharmacokinetic profile and tolerability as inferred from its advancement into clinical trials. Key indicators include its high oral bioavailability (89% in both mice and rats), low in vivo clearance (0.8 mL/min/kg in mice, 0.5 mL/min/kg in rats), and a preclinical profile described as "balanced," which supported its progression into Phase 1 studies for patients with BRAF V600X-driven cancers, including those resistant to prior BRAF inhibitor therapy.

Additional Infomation
Background and Mechanism of Action: BRAF kinase is a critical node in the MAPK signaling pathway, mutated in approximately 8% of human cancers. Currently approved BRAF inhibitors (e.g., vemurafenib, dabrafenib, encorafenib) are effective against V600 mutations but resistance typically emerges within a year, and they are ineffective against non-V600 BRAF mutants (Class II and III). CFT1946 is a bifunctional degradation activating compound (BiDACTM) that recruits cereblon to BRAF, inducing ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of mutant BRAF proteins (including V600E, G469A, G466V, and splice variants). This degradation strategy avoids paradoxical activation of wild-type RAF and may overcome multiple resistance mechanisms. [1,2]
Clinical Development: Based on its promising preclinical activity, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic profile, CFT1946 has advanced into Phase 1 clinical trials for patients with BRAF V600X-driven cancers and those with inhibitor-resistant BRAF V600X-driven cancers. [2]
