Uses

NX-5948 (BTK-IN-24) is an orally active chimeric targeting molecule (CTM) that induces specific BTK protein degradation by the cereblon E3 ligase (CRBN) complex without degradation of other cereblon neo-substrates. NX-5948 mediates potent anti-inflammatory activity via BTK degradation with resultant inhibition of B cell activation. NX-5948 exhibits potent tumor growth inhibition in TMD8 xenograft models that contain either wild-type BTK or BTKi-resistant mutations. NX-5948 is efficacious in a mouse collageninduced arthritis (CIA) model. NX-5948 can cross the blood brain barrier (BBB). NX-5948 is a PROTAC composed of the ligand for target protein, a linker, and a cereblon E3 ligase (CRBN) complex (Red: ligand for target protein; Blue: CRBN; Black: linker)[1][2][3].
