Selective PROTAC-mediated degradation of SMARCA2 is efficacious in SMARCA4 mutant cancers
SMARCA2 has been identified as a synthetic lethal target in SMARCA4 mutated tumors, however, homology between the two has hindered the development of selective SMARCA2 inhibitors.

Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs)
Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a promising therapeutic modality to modulate protein levels and its application promises to reduce the "undruggable"proteome. Among TPD strategies, Proteolysis TArgeting Chimera (PROTAC) technology has shown a tremendous potential with attractive advantages when compared to the inhibition of the same target.

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) in cancer therapy [PDF]
AbstractExploitation of the protein degradation machinery as a therapeutic strategy to degrade oncogenic proteins is experiencing revolutionary advances with the development of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs). PROTACs are heterobifunctional structures consisting of a ligand that binds a protein to be degraded and a ligand for an E3 ubiquitin ...

Assays and Technologies for Developing Proteolysis Targeting Chimera Degraders [PDF]
Targeted protein degradation by small-molecule degraders represents an emerging mode of action in drug discovery. Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are small molecules that can recruit an E3 ligase and a protein of interest (POI) into proximity, leading to induced ubiquitination and degradation of the POI by the proteasome system.
