POMALIDOMIDE-PEG1-NH2 HYDROCHLORIDE

Uses

Protein degrader builiding block Pomalidomide-C₉-CO₂H enables the synthesis of molecules for targeted protein degradation and PROTAC (proteolysis-targeting chimeras) technology. This conjugate contains a Cereblon (CRBN)-recruiting ligand and an alkyl-chain crosslinker with pendant carboxylic acid for reactivity with an amine on the target ligand. Because even slight alterations in ligands and crosslinkers can affect ternary complex formation between the target, E3 ligase, and PROTAC, many analogs are prepared to screen for optimal target degradation. When used with other protein degrader building blocks with a pendant carboxyl group, parallel synthesis can be used to more quickly generate PROTAC libraries that feature variation in crosslinker length, composition, and E3 ligase ligand.
