biological activity | dBET1 is a CRBN-based BET degrading agent with an IC50 of 20 nM for BRD4 and high selectivity. Among the 7429 detected proteins, only the expression of tumor proteins MYC, PIM1 and BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4 decreased significantly after dBET1. |

in vitro study | dBET1 treatment can down-regulate the expression of MYC and PIM1 without affecting the transcription of BRD4 and BRD3. The transcription of BRD2 and the protein stability of its gene product are affected by dBET1. After 24 hours of treatment, dBET1 can effectively inhibit MV4;11 cell proliferation, IC50 = 0.14 μM. Exposure of cells from primary leukemia patients to dBET1 can cause dose-proportional depletion of BRD4 and induce apoptosis. In LPS-stimulated microglia, dBET1-mediated targeted degradation of the BET protein inhibited the pro-inflammatory response. That is, the depletion of BRD2 and BRD4 caused by dBET1 is related to the significant decrease of COX-2 and iNOS protein levels induced by LPS, and the decrease of transcription levels of pro-inflammatory genes Nos2, Il-1β, Il-6, Tnfα, Ccl2, Ptgs2, Mmp9. |
in vivo study | inoculated with human MV4; In the mouse model of 11 leukemia cells, the administration of dBET1 attenuates tumor deterioration and reduces tumor weight. Intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg dBET1 to detect its pharmacokinetic properties: 50 mg/kg dose can ensure drug exposure, Cmax = 392 nM, Tmax = 0.5 hr, terminal t 1/2=6.69 hr, AUC last = 2109 hr * ng/ml, AUC INF = 295 hr * ng/ml. DBET1 was well tolerated in mice treated for two weeks, with no significant changes in body weight and no significant changes in white blood cell count, hematocrit or platelet count. |
