CM11<\/p>\n

Protein Target(s) Name<\/strong>: E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL<\/p>\n

Mechanism of Action<\/strong>: PROTAC degrader<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong>: Homo-PROTAC dimerizer for self-degradation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) protein. CM11 induces selective degradation of the long isoform of VHL (pVHL30) over the short isoform (pVHL19), and does so without triggering a hypoxic response in cells. CM11 also induces depletion of scaffold protein Cul2 in cells (1<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Chemical Name<\/strong>:\u00a0N<\/em>1,N<\/em>20-bis((S<\/em>)-1-((2S<\/em>,4R<\/em>)-4-hydroxy-2-((4-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)benzyl)carbamoyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaoxaicosanediamide<\/p>\n

CAS Number<\/strong>: 2244684-49-7<\/p>\n

In vitro pharmacology*:<\/strong>\u00a0CM11 reduces pVHL30 protein levels in human cells: pVHL30 DC50 between 1-10 nM in HeLa cells (4 h); Dmax > 99%.\u00a0CM11 induces time-dependent degradation of pVHL30, depleting 50% protein between 1-2 h of treatment at 1 uM in HeLa cells. CM11 (1 uM, 24 h) also induced 73% depletion of Cul2 in HeLa cells. Data from ref. (1<\/em>)<\/p>\n

*DC50: concentration in molar causing 50% reduction of protein level relative to vehicle control treatment.
\nDmax: maximum reduction of protein level relative to vehicle control treatment.<\/p>\n

Biophysical binding data<\/strong>: ITC Kd (pVHL30) = 25 nM;\u00a0ITC Kd (pVHL19) = 11 nM; stoichiometry n = 0.6 (2:1 VHL:CM11 complex); cooperativity (alpha, relative to Kd for VH032) = 18. Data from ref. (1<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Proteome-wide selectivity<\/strong>:\u00a0Unbiased and quantitative isobaric tagging MS proteomics confirmed no proteins other than VHL and Cul2 as substantially depleted upon treatment of HeLa cells with CM11 (1 uM for 10 h) amongst the 6,450 detected proteins that passed filtering criteria, compared to DMSO or VHL inhibitor VH032 treatment. Data from ref. (1<\/em>)<\/p>\n

In vivo PK data<\/strong>: not available<\/p>\n

Crystal Structure<\/strong>: not available<\/p>\n

Negative control<\/strong>: CMP98, CAS number: 2244684-50-0, available from\u00a0Tocris<\/a><\/p>\n
