Dengue Virus Degrader

GNF-2-deg is a PROTAC degrader targeting the dengue virus envelope protein (DENV E protein), with a DC₅₀ of 0.83 μM in Huh7.5 cells. GNF-2-deg induces CRBN- and proteasome-dependent proteolysis of intracellular E protein. GNF-2-deg inhibits E protein-mediated membrane fusion and blocks viral particle production. GNF-2-deg reduces viral yield in infected cells and retains activity against E protein βOG pocket mutant virus-like particles (VLP). GNF-2-deg can be used in the research of dengue virus infection, Zika virus infection, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile virus infection and yellow fever.

ZXH-8-004 is a DENV E PROTAC degrader with a DC₅₀ value of 0.21 µM in Huh7.5 cells. ZXH-8-004 induces CRBN- and proteasome-dependent degradation of intracellular dengue virus envelope protein. ZXH-8-004 inhibits envelope-mediated membrane fusion during viral entry and reduces the production of infectious dengue virus particles. ZXH-8-004 can be used in studies related to dengue virus infection, Zika virus infection, Japanese encephalitis virus infection, West Nile virus infection, and yellow fever virus infection.
