KRAS-VHL PROTAC Builder
Target: KRAS (aminocyanothiophene-tetrahydroquinoline-isoxazole-pyrimidine
warhead, ACBI3 family)
E3 Ligase: VHL (VH032 hydroxyproline/thiazolyl-benzyl binder)
Reference: ACBI3 (Astex/Boehringer Ingelheim); DegradMaster case_study_2
Warhead (ACBI3-derived KRAS binder, MW ≈ 478 Da):
Aminocyanothiophene fused to a tetrahydroquinoline; the thiophene-fused
ring is decorated with an isoxazole–pyrimidine. The pyrimidine bears a
2-methyl-1,4-diazepane whose distal N-H is the linker attachment point
(analogous to the gefitinib piperazine NH in EGFR-VHL).
E3 Ligand (VH032, MW ≈ 431 Da):
Hydroxyproline + tert-leucine + 4-(4-methylthiazol-5-yl)benzyl cap.
Free NH2 on tert-leucine alpha-amine is the reactive group.
NOTE on chemistry: ACBI3 itself uses a click-derived 1,2,3-triazole linker
joining the warhead alkyl chain to a VHL-side azide-bearing fragment. For
generation/scoring purposes we mirror EGFR-VHL chemistry (diacid linker +
2× amide bond formation), since the diazepane NH and VH032 NH2 are both
direct amide-coupling sites and this preserves a single linker chemistry
across all three VHL targets in the study.
