Click Chemistry in the Development of PROTACs
摘要
This chapter provides an overview of PROTAC mechanisms, challenges, and the pivotal role of click chemistry in addressing these challenges. Key applications discussed include in-situ PROTAC assembly to enhance permeability, conjugation with targeting moieties for improved selectivity, and rapid library construction for efficient screening. Kinetic considerations in click reactions are emphasized, alongside extensions to related degradation strategies beyond PROTACs. Overall, the versatility of click chemistry is highlighted as a powerful tool for advancing PROTAC development and targeted protein degradation therapeutics.
