Abstract

compared to their cognate inhibitors but their toxicity in normal tissues is not clear. The CRBN PROTACs containing thalidomide derivatives cannot be tested in experimental animals. Resistance to such PROTACS arises through downregulation or inactivation of CRBN or factors of the functional VHL E3 ubiquitin ligase. Although highly active KRAS and SOS1 PROTACs have been formulated their clinical application remains difficult.
