In this work, we designed and synthesized a series of novel BET PROTACs based on the clinical inhibitor ABBV-075. The favorable efficacy-safety balance of A10 underscores its strong potential as a preclinical candidate for AML therapy. This study highlights how rational PROTAC optimization can yield degraders with enhanced therapeutic windows, providing a promising path forward for targeted protein degradation in AML.

Furthermore, CR10 significantly inhibited the growth of MV4-11 and A549 xenograft tumors at a dose as low as 2 mg/kg, without apparent toxicity. This semi-rigid linker-containing degrader represented a promising new mechanism-based candidate for the treatment of hematologic malignancies and lung cancer, warranting further investigation.

Notably, ARV-825 was more effective at downregulating c-Myc and BET protein levels than JQ1 in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. These evidences suggest that BET-PROTACs may offer a promising novel strategy for the clinical treatment of DLBCL.

This research revealed that GNE-987 selectively degraded BRD4 and disrupted the transcriptional regulation of oncogenes in OS. GNE-987 has the potential to affect KRT80 against OS.

The study suggests that the application of novel BET PROTACs in combination with chemotherapeutics could represent a new therapeutic option to improve the therapy of osteosarcomas. First orally available PROTACs have reached clinical trials.

An X-ray structure of a CLICK chemistry-based BET PROTAC bound to BRD2(BD2) inspired synthesis of JQ1 derived heterocyclic amides. This effort led to the discovery of potent BET inhibitors displaying overall improved profiles when compared to JQ1 and birabresib...In addition, exploration of pharmacokinetic properties of this class of compounds suggest that the heterocyclic amide moiety improves drug-like features. Our study led to the discovery of potent and orally bioavailable BET inhibitor 1q (SJ1461) as a promising candidate for further development.

PD-L1 is significantly elevated in HNSCC models of acquired cetuximab and cisplatin resistance where BRD2 is the primary regulator.

We describe an active novel combination that includes the BET-PROTAC MZ1 and trastuzumab, in HER2+ tumors. Further studies should be performed to confirm these findings and pave the way for their future clinical development.

Co-treatment with BET inhibitor or BET-PROTAC and ibrutinib or venetoclax exerted synergistic in vitro lethality in the RT-DLBCL cells. Finally, as compared to each agent alone, combination therapy with BET-PROTAC and venetoclax significantly reduced lymphoma burden and improved survival of immune-depleted mice engrafted with CLR-RT-DLBCL. These findings highlight a novel, potentially effective therapy for RT-DLBCL.

The encapsulation and controlled release of BET-PROTACs through their vectorization with antibodies, like trastuzumab, could facilitate their pharmacokinetic and efficacy profile...Morphology of the nanoparticles, along with stability and release studies, completed the characterization. MZ1-loaded ACNPs showed a significant cytotoxic effect maintaining its mechanism of action and improving its therapeutic properties.
