Targeted protein degradation has recently emerged as a novel option in drug discovery. Natural half-life is expected to affect the efficacy of degrading agents, but what extent it influences target not been systematically explored. Using simple mathematical modeling degradation, we find that natural dramatic effect on level induced by degrader agent which can pose significant hurdles screening efforts. Moreover, show upon for degraders short-lived proteins, agents stall synthesis, such GSPT1...

With a resurgence in interest covalent drugs, there is need to identify new moieties capable of cysteine bond formation that are differentiated from commonly employed systems such as acrylamide. Herein, we report on the discovery alkynyl benzoxazine and dihydroquinazoline reaction with cysteine. Their utility alternative electrophilic warheads for chemical biological probes drug molecules demonstrated through site-selective protein modification incorporation into kinase scaffolds. A potent...

Convergent total syntheses of the furanocembranoids 7-epi-pukalide and 7-acetylsinumaximol B have been achieved using a one-pot Knoevenagel condensation thioether-mediated furan-forming reaction. Furan formation proceeds via sulfur ylide results in rapid introduction structural complexity during coupling two highly functionalised fragments. The targets prepared 16 steps from (R)-perillyl alcohol.

Fragment-based hit identification (FBHI) allows proportionately greater coverage of chemical space using fewer molecules than traditional high-throughput screening approaches. However, effectively exploiting this advantage is highly dependent on the library design. Solubility, stability, complexity, chemical/shape diversity, and synthetic tractability for fragment elaboration are all critical aspects, molecule design remains a time-consuming task computational medicinal chemists. Artificial...
