Abstract: Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional molecules that recruit an E3 ligase to a target protein to facilitate ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of that protein. While the field of targeted degraders is still relatively young, the potential for this modality to become a differentiated and therapeutic reality is strong, such that both academic and pharmaceutical institutions are now entering this interesting area of research. In this article, we describe a broadly applicable process for identifying degrader hits based on the serine/threonine kinase TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) and have generalized the key structural elements associated with degradation activities. Compound 3i is a potent hit (TBK1 DC50 = 12 nM, Dmax = 96%) with excellent selectivity against a related kinase IKKε, which was further used as a chemical tool to assess TBK1 as a target in mutant K-Ras cancer cells.
