FXR DUBTAC modulator-1
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 is a deubiquitinase-targeting chimeric molecule (DUBTAC) that targets FXR, with a Ka value of 2.12e-5 M for FXR. FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 recruits the deubiquitinase OTUB1, binds to OTUB1 and forms a ternary complex with FXR, reduces the polyubiquitination level of FXR, prevents FXR degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and elevates the protein level of FXR. FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 can be used in the research of cholestatic liver injury.

Biological Activity
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 (compound D11) (1-10 μM; 24 h) significantly increases FXR protein expression in HepG2 cells while maintaining 70.71% cell viability at 50 μM[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 (0.1-10 μM) increases FXR protein levels in a dose-dependent manner in HepG2 cells[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 (1 μM; 1-8 h) increases FXR protein levels in a time-dependent manner in HepG2 cells, with detectable increases starting at 1 h and continuing through 8 h[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 stabilizes FXR protein by promoting its deubiquitination in HepG2 cells, as evidenced by reduced FXR polyubiquitination and increased FXR protein levels following treatment[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 binds to purified FXR protein with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 2.12 × 10-5 M, as measured by surface plasmon resonance[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1's FXR protein-stabilizing effect is dependent on OTUB1 in HepG2 cells, as knockdown of OTUB1 eliminates FXR DUBTAC modulator-1-induced FXR stabilization[1].
FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 (2 μM; up to 120 min) demonstrates favorable metabolic stability in mouse and rat liver microsomes, with a half-life exceeding 120 min for both species[1].

FXR DUBTAC modulator-1 (1-2.5 mg/kg; i.p.; daily; 3 days) alleviates cholestatic liver injury in an OTUB1-dependent manner, as its hepatoprotective effects are completely abrogated by OTUB1 knockdown[1].
