AR-CRBN PROTAC Builder (mixed chemistry: amide on warhead side, SNAr on E3 side)
Target: Androgen Receptor (AR T878A)
E3 Ligase: CRBN (pomalidomide/thalidomide-based binder)
Source: PROTAC-DB ID 2525
Reference PROTAC (PROTAC-DB #2525, MW = 777 Da):
CN(C1=CC=C(C#N)C(Cl)=C1)[C@H]1CC[C@H](NC(=O)C2=CC=C(N3CCN(CC4CN(C5=CC=C6
C(=O)N(C7CCC(=O)NC7=O)C(=O)C6=C5)C4)CC3)C=C2)CC1
Linker: C1CN(CC2CNC2)CCN1 (piperazine-azetidine diamine, MW 155 Da)
Linker chemistry: DIAMINE termini (fix_termini='amine')
The generated linker has two free secondary N atoms.
Warhead provides a COOH electrophile; E3 provides an electrophilic aromatic C-F.
Warhead-COOH + linker-N β secondary amide (warhead side)
E3-Ar-F + linker-N β C-N aromatic bond via SNAr (E3 side)
Warhead (COOH-armed, MW β 388 Da):
4-[((1R,4R)-4-(N-methyl-N-(4-cyano-3-chlorophenyl)amino)cyclohexyl)amino]benzoic
acid. The para-COOH reacts with the linker's secondary amine β amide.
E3 Ligand (5-fluorothalidomide, MW β 276 Da):
2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-5-fluoroisoindoline-1,3-dione.
C5-F undergoes SNAr with the linker's secondary amine β aromatic C-N bond.
