Design and synthesis of estrogen receptor degradation inducer based on a protein knockdown strategy

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Feb 15;22(4):1793-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2011.11.086. Epub 2011 Nov 28.

Abstract

We designed and synthesized estrogen receptor (ER) degradation inducers 5, 6, and 7, which crosslink the ER and the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (cIAP1). Compounds 5, 6, and 7 induced cIAP1-mediated ubiquitylation of ERα resulting in its proteasomal degradation.
