UUN 88367, also known as Azido-Thalidomide is a clickable Thalidomide derivative, used as a building block for cereblon. Azido-Thalidomide targets PROTACs by hijacking cereblon as the E3 ubiquitin ligase component. This product has no formal name at the moment.
Thalidomide-O-amido-C4-N3 is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates the Thalidomide based cereblon ligand and a linker used in PROTAC technology. Thalidomide-O-amido-C4-N3 is a click chemistry reagent, it contains an Azide group and can undergo copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAc) with molecules containing Alkyne groups. It can also undergo strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions with molecules containing DBCO or BCN groups.
