These describe how we optimised those hit compounds through to potent inhibitors and #degraders
over 50 authors in total across these papers - #DrugDiscovery really does take a lot of team work, and this was no exception!
Some nice work from Ethan Toriki, James Papatzimas, Daniel Nomura and coauthors on bioRxiv https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.04.512693v1
I think this is the first example in the “glue degraders” field where someone found a “degrading handle” that could be attached to multiple different inhibitors to give degradation of different proteins. A nice step forward in the rational design of molecular glue degraders!
