VHL
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) E3 ubiquitin ligase (as a ligand) and target proteins via PROTAC-mediated degradation. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
The (S,R,S)-AHPC moiety binds VHL with high affinity (Kd ~0.1-1 uM). The PEG5 spacer improves solubility and flexibility. The Boc (tert-butoxycarbonyl) group protects the terminal amine during synthesis; it is removed under acidic conditions to reveal a free amine for conjugation. The compound does not induce degradation alone. In PROTACs, it recruits VHL to ubiquitinate and degrade target proteins.
|
| ln Vivo |
PROTACs incorporating this VHL ligand have shown potent in vivo degradation of various oncoproteins (e.g., BRD4, BET, EGFR) in xenograft models. The PEG5 linker provides optimal pharmacokinetics with reduced clearance. The Boc protecting group is cleaved before conjugation; the free amine form is active for linker attachment. Specific in vivo data for the Boc-protected intermediate are not available.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
VHL binding is assessed by fluorescence polarization or ITC. Recombinant VHL-Elongin B-Elongin C complex is incubated with a fluorescent Hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha (HIF-1alpha) peptide and varying concentrations of (S,R,S)-AHPC-PEG5-Boc (0-100 uM). Displacement of the peptide indicates binding. IC50 is typically 50-200 nM for the AHPC core; PEG5 does not significantly reduce affinity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In cellular assays, the compound itself does not degrade targets. For testing, the Boc is removed and the free amine is conjugated to a target warhead. The resulting PROTAC is incubated with cells (1-1000 nM) for 6-24 hours. Target degradation is assessed by Western blot. The intermediate serves as a negative control for PEG linker effects. Cell viability is measured by MTT.
|
| Animal Protocol |
PROTACs derived from this building block are administered to xenograft mice via IV or IP injection (10-100 mg/kg). Tumor tissue is collected to assess target degradation. Blood samples are taken for PK analysis. The Boc-protected intermediate is not dosed directly. The free amine form is used for conjugation, and the final PROTAC is evaluated.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Molecular weight: approximately 850-950 g/mol depending on exact structure. The PEG5 chain (MW ~220) confers water solubility. The Boc group is stable at room temperature but cleaved by TFA or HCl. The compound is stored at -20degC. As a building block, its independent PK is not relevant; PK depends on the final PROTAC.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The AHPC moiety is well-tolerated in animal studies at doses up to 100 mg/kg. Boc-protected amines are generally non-toxic. The compound is for research use only. Standard PPE required. Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Based on VHL ligand safety data, no significant acute toxicity is expected (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg).

| Additional Infomation |
(S,R,S)-AHPC-PEG5-Boc is a key PROTAC building block. The stereochemistry (S,R,S) refers to the chiral centers in the VHL ligand. AHPC is also known as VH032. The Boc group allows orthogonal protection during synthesis. After deprotection, the free amine can react with carboxylic acids, NHS esters, or isocyanates. This VHL-based system is an alternative to cereblon-based degraders. No clinical approval.
