Emerging drug discovery strategies for targeted protein degradation

Emerging drug discovery strategies for targeted protein degradation

Brought to you by WuXi AppTec

Overview

Targeted protein degradation can be used to achieve efficacy in various disease contexts where other therapies fail. PROTACs® are unique, high-molecular-weight compounds that facilitate the labeling of a target protein, marking it for removal by cellular degradation machinery. These molecules bring two proteins together, and action dependent on the formation of a three-part complex introduces challenges during drug discovery and development.

Learn how to identify PROTAC candidates using DNA-encoded libraries and explore specialized screening and analytical techniques for target validation, compound optimization, mechanistic studies, and in vivo testing.
