As the active PROTAC is revealed selectively in hypoxia, POI (BRD4) degradation occurs mainly in hypoxia. This technology has the potential to give PROTACs that degrade selectively in hypoxic tumors.

This is collaborative work with @hammond-lab.bsky.social - congratulations to all of the authors.

Our pre-print on hypoxia-activated PROTACs (HAP-TACs) is now on ChemRvix: chemrxiv.org/engage/chemr...

We used the indolequinone bioreductive group to protect VHL- or CRBN-recruiting BRD4 degraders rendering them inactive. This group is removed selectively in hypoxia, revealing the active PROTAC.
