Cereblon
Cereblon (CRBN) as a ligand; neo-substrates Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3). |
|---|---|
| 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. PROTACs target and selectively degrade target proteins by taking advantage of the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Thalidomide binds cereblon with moderate affinity (Kd ~10-20 uM). The 4-O-C2-NH2 modification introduces a short, hydrophilic spacer (2 carbons + oxygen). The terminal amine (as hydrochloride) enables conjugation to carboxyl-containing target ligands. The compound alone induces mild degradation of Ikaros/Aiolos. The short C2 spacer positions the amine close to the thalidomide core, which may affect conjugation efficiency and ternary complex formation in PROTACs. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cereblon binding is measured by TR-FRET. Thalidomide-4-O-C2-NH2 (0-500 uM) is incubated with CRBN-DDB1 and a fluorescent probe. IC50 is typically 10-30 uM. The C2-NH2 group may slightly reduce binding affinity (2-3 fold) compared to thalidomide due to steric hindrance at the 4-position, but it remains useful for PROTAC synthesis.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cells (e.g., MM.1S) are treated with the compound alone (1-100 uM) for 24-48 hours. Ikaros/Aiolos degradation is assessed by Western blot (DC50 ~20-50 uM). The compound shows moderate antiproliferative activity (IC50 ~30-60 uM). For PROTACs, the conjugate is tested at lower concentrations (1-1000 nM) for degradation of the target of interest.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo, PROTACs derived from this building block are administered to xenograft mice (10-50 mg/kg, IV). The intermediate alone is sometimes dosed as a control. The short C2 linker may result in rapid clearance of the final PROTAC due to hydrophilicity. PK parameters depend on the specific warhead. Tumor tissue is analyzed for target degradation.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Molecular weight: approximately 350 g/mol (free base) plus HCl. The C2-NH2 chain (MW ~44) increases water solubility. The hydrochloride salt is stable. The compound is stored at -20degC. The thalidomide glutarimide ring hydrolyzes in aqueous buffer (t1/2 ~1-2 hours at pH 7.4, 37degC). The 4-O-C2-NH2 group does not prevent hydrolysis.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Thalidomide derivatives are teratogenic and potentially neurotoxic. The C2-NH2 modification does not reduce this risk. Acute toxicity in rodents: LD50 ~200-500 mg/kg for thalidomide. Handle with extreme caution: use double gloves, fume hood, and dedicated work area. Not for human use. The compound is for research only.

| Additional Infomation |
This PROTAC building block features a thalidomide core with a 4-O-C2-NH2 linker. The 4-position is one of the preferred sites for derivatization because it does not completely disrupt cereblon binding. The C2 spacer is the shortest possible (ethylamine). This compact linker may be useful for targets where a longer spacer would prevent ternary complex formation. Compare to PEG-containing linkers which offer greater solubility. No clinical approval.
