Excited to share our latest work on an exquisitely selective #PROTAC of #HDAC6 in #JMedChem @ACSBioMed @ACSPublications!! TO-1187 is a highly potent HDAC6 degrader with complete proteome selectivity, sparing all #CRBN neosubstrates and other #HDAC isoforms.

Do you find multi-step #PROTAC synthesis to be laborious and time-consuming? We present our latest work in @ChemCommun on a microwave-assisted #SNAr methodology for rapid preparation of #pomalidomide-based #PROTACs!

We optimized conventional conditions for fluorothalidomide SNAr (overnight, oil bath heating) to achieve improved yields on gram-scale in only 15 minutes under microwave irradiation, exemplifying the method by preparing the clinically explored PROTAC #bavdegalutamide (ARV-110)!

Excited to share our new paper in @rsc_chembio on improving resolution in fluorotryptophan protein NMR by expanding into the 13C dimension! We prepared & used a 13C-labelled F-Trp precursor to achieve unprecedented spectral resolution of a F-Trp-bearing protein by 2D 19F-13C NMR!

ALT Allosteric transmission network between allosterically coupled tryptophan residues in FAcD.
