EC21
EC21 is a PROTAC degrader that binds to CDK6, thereby targeting EYA2 for degradation. EC21 enhances the interaction between CDK6 and EYA2, thereby driving ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent degradation of EYA2. EC21 reduces EYA2 protein levels in tumor tissues without obvious toxicity. EC21 disrupts the DNA damage repair pathway and inhibits cancer cell proliferation. EC21 can be used in breast cancer-related research.

EC21 (72 h) potently inhibits the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells, with IC50 values of 7.84 μM and 6.56 μM, respectively, after 72 h of treatment[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 0-24 h) induces time-dependent degradation of EYA2 protein in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells (following treatment with 10 μM for up to 24 h)[1].
EC21 (5-20 μM; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent degradation of EYA2 protein in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells[1].
EC21 (10 μM EC21 + 100 μg/mL Cycloheximide (HY-12320); 12 h) accelerates the degradation of pre-existing EYA2 protein in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells[1].
EC21 (10 μM EC21; 4 h co-incubation following 2 h pre-treatment with 10 μM MG132 (HY-13259)) induces EYA2 degradation in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells, and this process is dependent on the ubiquitin-proteasome system[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 6 h) enhances the physical interaction between endogenous CDK6 and EYA2 in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells in a reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation assay[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 6 h) increases the colocalization level of CDK6 and EYA2 in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells, with Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.680 and 0.699, respectively[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 24 h) inhibits the migration of MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 14 days) potently inhibits the clonogenic capacity of MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells[1].
Treatment with EC21 (10 μM; 24 h) induces apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells, and the total apoptosis rate is higher than that of the control group[1].
EC21 (10 μM; 24 h) induces G1 phase arrest and impairs G1/S cell cycle transition in MDA-MB-231 and 4T1 triple-negative breast cancer cells when treated at 10 μM for 24 h[1].
