Cereblon
Cereblon (CRBN) as a ligand; neo-substrates Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3) for ubiquitination and degradation. |
|---|---|
| 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[2].
Pomalidomide binds cereblon with high affinity (Kd ~1-10 uM), more potent than thalidomide or lenalidomide. The C3-NH2 spacer (3-carbon alkyl chain) provides a flexible linker. The terminal amine (as hydrochloride) enables conjugation to carboxyl-containing target ligands via amide bond formation. The compound alone induces potent degradation of Ikaros and Aiolos (DC50 ~0.1-1 uM). In PROTACs, it serves as a high-affinity cereblon recruiter. |
| Enzyme Assay |
Cereblon binding is measured by TR-FRET. Pomalidomide-C3-NH2 (0-10 uM) competes with a biotinylated pomalidomide probe. IC50 is typically 0.5-2 uM. The C3-NH2 group does not significantly reduce binding compared to pomalidomide. Binding is reversible and competitive.
|
| Cell Assay |
Cells (e.g., MM.1S or HEK293) are treated with the compound alone (0.01-10 uM) for 24 hours. Ikaros and Aiolos degradation is assessed by Western blot (DC50 ~0.1-1 uM). Cell viability is measured (IC50 ~0.5-5 uM). For PROTAC evaluation, the compound is conjugated to a target warhead; the conjugate is tested at 1-1000 nM for target degradation. The intermediate alone serves as a positive control for cereblon engagement.
|
| Animal Protocol |
PROTACs derived from pomalidomide-C3-NH2 are administered to xenograft mice (10-50 mg/kg, IV or IP). The intermediate alone (as a control) can also be dosed at 10-50 mg/kg to assess anti-tumor activity due to Ikaros/Aiolos degradation. Tumor growth inhibition is observed. PK parameters are measured. The C3 linker improves solubility compared to longer alkyl chains.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Molecular weight: approximately 330 g/mol (free base) plus HCl. The C3-NH2 chain (MW ~56) provides moderate water solubility. The hydrochloride salt is stable. The compound is stored at -20degC. The glutarimide ring of pomalidomide is more stable than thalidomide (t1/2 ~4-6 hours at pH 7.4). The C3-NH2 does not affect ring stability.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Pomalidomide derivatives are teratogenic and potentially myelosuppressive. The C3-NH2 group does not reduce this risk. Acute toxicity: LD50 ~500-1000 mg/kg in rodents. Handle with extreme care: fume hood, double gloves. Not for human use. The compound is for research only. Avoid contact with skin.

| Additional Infomation |
Pomalidomide-C3-NH2 is a widely used PROTAC building block. Pomalidomide is a potent immunomodulatory drug (IMiD) approved for multiple myeloma. Compared to lenalidomide or thalidomide, pomalidomide has higher cereblon affinity, making it preferred for PROTACs requiring strong E3 ligase recruitment. The C3 spacer (propyl) is a common length for optimal ternary complex formation. This compound has no clinical approval as an intermediate.
