4-((6-Aminohexyl)oxy)-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione is an intermediate for the synthesis of dTAG-13 (D710020), which is a degradation tag which was tested for its efficiency at depleting FKBP12F36V -MELK(sg3R) and was found to have significantly degraded FKBP12F36V -MELK(sg3R) within 4 hours.Used in the study of cancer research.
Thalidomide-O-C6-NH2 is a synthesized E3 ligase ligand-linker conjugate that incorporates the Thalidomide based cereblon ligand and a linker used in PROTAC technology[1].
PROTACs contain two different ligands connected by a linker; one is a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ligase and the other is for the target protein. PROTACs exploit the intracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system to selectively degrade target proteins[2].
