AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to effectively regulate protein degradation in vivo, particularly in therapeutic applications, where there is a lack of compounds and methods capable of efficiently targeting specific proteins.
A C3-carbon linked glutarimide degradation determinant was developed, which binds nonvalently to target proteins via E3 ubiquitin ligases (such as cereblon) and utilizes the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP) for selective protein degradation.
It achieves efficient in vivo degradation of specific proteins, with potential therapeutic applications, such as the treatment of cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases, providing a new therapeutic intervention.
