A heterobifunctional molecule with two active domains and a linker, PROTACs consist of two covalently linked protein-binding molecules: one capable of engaging an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and another that binds to a target protein meant for degradation.

Jan 18, 2022 · With clinical proof-of-concept for PROTAC molecules against two well-established cancer targets provided in 2020, the field is poised to pursue targets that were previously considered...

Dec 22, 2022 · PROTACs are heterobifunctional molecules that degrade target proteins by hijacking the ubiquitin–proteasome system. Currently, about 20–25% of all protein targets are being studied, and most works focus on their enzymatic functions.

Currently, a new technology termed PROTAC, proteolysis targeting chimera, has been developed for inducing the protein degradation by a targeting molecule. This technology takes advantage of a moiety of targeted protein and a moiety of recognizing E3 ubiquitin ligase and produces a hybrid molecule to specifically knock down a targeted protein.

A prodrug is a pharmacologically inactive medication or compound that, after intake, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug. [1][2] Instead of administering a drug directly, a corresponding prodrug can be used to improve how the drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted (ADME). [3][4]
