Application

N-(4-Bromophenyl)-N-phenylacrylamide is a cysteine-reactive small-molecule fragment for chemoproteomic and ligandability studies for both traditionally druggable proteins as well as ″undruggable,″ or difficult-to-target, proteins. This fragment electrophile, or ″scout″ fragment, can be used alone in fragment-based covalent ligand discovery or incorporated into bifunctional tools such as electrophilic PROTAC® molecules for targeted protein degradation as demonstrated by the Cravatt Lab for E3 ligase discovery.

Small molecules are powerful tools for investigating protein function and can serve as leads for new therapeutics. Most human proteins, however, lack small-molecule ligands, and entire protein classes are considered 'undruggable'. Fragment-based ligand discovery can identify small-molecule probes for proteins

Ligand-dependent protein degradation has emerged as a compelling strategy to pharmacologically control the protein content of cells. So far, however, only a limited number of E3 ligases have been found to support this process. Here, we use a chemical proteomic
