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.

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

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
