MRT-31619 is a selective CRBN Molecular glue degrader, with an IC50 of 14 nM and an EC 50 of 72 nM. MRT-31619 triggers ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of CRBN. MRT-31619 serves as a chemical knockout tool for CRBN depletion to evaluate the dependence of other molecular glues on CRBN. MRT-31619 is applicable to the research of CRBN -related disease models [1] [2].
In Vitro, MRT-31619 (1-10 μM; 1-24 h) potently and selectively degrades CRBN in Jurkat cells: this effect occurs after treatment at 1 μM for 1 h, 3 h and 24 h, as well as after treatment at 10 μM for 24 h, without affecting the level of DDB1[1]. Incubation of purified recombinant CRBN-DDB1 complex with MRT-31619 (10 μM; 60 min) induces the formation of CRBN-DDB1 dimeric complex[1]. MRT-31619 induces the formation of CRBN ternary complex, with an EC50 of 72 nM as determined by FIDA assay using purified recombinant CRBN-DDB1 complex[1]. MRT-31619 efficiently and selectively degrades CRBN via a self-targeting mechanism involving CRBN homodimerization, with a CRBN-binding IC50 of 14 nM and a complex-formation EC50 of 72 nM in Jurkat cells[2].
