PROTAC G9a degrader-1
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 is a selective and orally active G9a PROTAC degrader with a DC50 of 1.29 μM. PROTAC G9a degrader-1 inhibits the NF-κB signaling pathway, suppresses the proliferation and migration of cancer cells, promotes apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, and reduces the expression level of H3K9me2. In in vivo models, PROTAC G9a degrader-1 alleviates skin inflammation, reduces epidermal hyperplasia, and decreases Ki67 expression. PROTAC G9a degrader-1 can be used for the research of triple-negative breast cancer and psoriasis.

In Vitro
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (Compound L4) potently inhibits G9a enzymatic activity in cell-free assays with an IC50 of 4.49 μM; it potently suppresses the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, with IC50 values of 3.64 μM and 1.74 μM, respectively; and it forms a stable ternary complex with G9aSET and CRBNTBD via specific key interactions[1].
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (0.05-5 μM; 0-24 h) induces concentration- and time-dependent degradation of G9a via the CRBN-mediated ubiquitin-proteasome system in MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, with a DC50 of 1.29 μM. It also reduces H3K9me2 levels and exhibits selectivity toward GLP[1].
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (1 μM; 12 h) selectively downregulates G9a and ZFP91 in MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, with minimal effects on closely related histone methyltransferases and most tested novel CRBN substrates[1].
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (1 μM) disrupts the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-responsive ENaCα gene in Dexamethasone (HY-14648)-stimulated MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells[1].
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (0.5-1 μM; 24-48 h) induces apoptosis, arrests MDA-MB-231 cells at the S phase, potently inhibits the migration of MDA-MB-231 and Hs578T triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells at a concentration of 1 μM, and completely abolishes colony formation at 0.5 μM[1].
PROTAC G9a degrader-1 (0-2 μM; 24 h) inhibits the proliferation of HaCaT keratinocytes with an IC50 of 1.20 μM. It also induces concentration-dependent apoptosis and G2/M phase arrest, degrades G9a, reduces the level of H3K9me2, inhibits NF-κB pathway activation, and does not induce significant endoplasmic reticulum stress[1].

Parmacokinetics
In Vivo
