NEKs Degrader

LC-04-045 is a selective NIMA-related kinase 7 (NEK7) molecular glue degrader. LC-04-045 induces NEK7 degradation via the CRBN-based ubiquitin-proteasome system, dependent on the glycine 57-containing degron motif. LC-04-045 inhibits secretion of downstream cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. LC-04-045 can be used for the research of lymphoblastic leukemia.

NK7-902 diTFA is a selective and orally active CRBN-dependent NEK7 molecular glue degrader with K_d values of 1.5 and 2.6 μM for hNEK7 and mNEK7. NK7-902 diTFA fully degrades NEK7 in human primary monocytes and whole blood but only partially inhibits NLRP3-dependent IL-1β production. NK7-902 diTFA shows activity in murine systems and induces a profound and long-lasting NEK7 degradation but only transiently blocks NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NK7-902 diTFA can be used for the research of inflammation, such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes.

NEK7 degrader-3 is an orally active and brain-penetrant NEK7 molecular glue degrader with a DC₅₀ of 33.1 nM. NEK7 degrader-3 mediates interaction between NEK7 and E3 ligase cereblon, promoting proteasomal degradation of NEK7 and attenuating NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory responses. NEK7 degrader-3 inhibits caspase-1 activity, cytokine release of IL-1β, IL-1α, and IL-18, and pyroptosis-related plasma membrane permeabilization. NEK7 degrader-3 shows antiinflammatory activity in an LPS (HY-D1056)-induced neuroinflammation mouse model. NEK7 degrader-3 can be used for the research of neuroinflammation.

MRT-3486 is a molecular glue degrader.MRT-3486 induces ternary complex formation between CRBN and predicted β-hairpin G-loop proteins.MRT-3486 is selected from an internal compound library for proximity-ligation experiments.

NEK7 degrader-1 is a NEK7 molecular glue degrader with a DC₅₀ of 9  nM. NEK7 degrader-1 dose-dependently inhibits caspase-1 activity and IL-Ιβ release in macrophages in response to NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NEK7 degrader-1 can be used for autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, neurodegeneraive diseases like Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular and melabolic disorders like pericarditis and Type 2 diabetes research.

ABT-002 is a molecular glue degrader targeting GSPT1 and NEK7. ABT-002 is the active metabolite of ABS-752 (HY-W599279). ABT-002 is promising for research of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

NEK7 degrader-4 is a NEK7 molecular glue degrader with a DC₅₀ of 9  nM. NEK7 degrader-4 can be used for autoinflammatory and autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis, neurodegeneraive diseases like Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular and melabolic disorders like pericarditis and Type 2 diabetes research.

NEK7 degrader-2 (Compound 25) is a NEK7 degrader. NEK7 degrader-2 shows dose-dependent NEK7 degradation ability in human PBMC-derived macrophages. NEK7 degrader-2 reduce the release level of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β induced by NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NEK7 degrader-2 can be used for the study of inflammatory diseases.

ABS-752 is a potent and orally active GSPT1 and NEK7 molecular glue degrader. ABS-752 shows cytotoxicity. ABS-752 decreases the protein expression of GSPT1 and SALL4, NEK7. ABS-752 is a prodrug activated by the monoamine oxidase, VAP-1, to an aldehyde intermediate and subsequently to the active molecule, ABT-002 (HY-175283). ABS-752 has the potential for the research of hepatocellular carcinoma.
