Replacing a Cereblon Ligand by a DDB1 and CUL4 Associated Factor 11 (DCAF11) Recruiter Converts a Selective Histone Deacetylase 6 PROTAC into a Pan-Degrader.
Article in ChemMedChem, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have recently gained popularity as targeted protein degradation (TPD) promises to overcome the limitations of occupancy-driven pharmacology. However, most degraders rely on a small number of E3 ligases. In this study, we present the first-in-class histone deacetylase (HDAC) PROTACs recruiting the DDB1- and CUL4- associated factor 11 (DCAF11). We established a synthesis route entirely on solid-phase to prepare a set of eleven degraders. The long and flexible spacer bearing FF2039 (1j) showed significant HDAC1 and 6 degradation in combination with cytotoxicity against the multiple myeloma cell line MM.1S. Further investigations revealed that 1j was also able to degrade HDAC isoforms of class I, IIa and IIb. Compared to our previously published cereblon-recruiting HDAC6 selective PROTAC A6, we succesfully transformed the selective degrader into a pan-HDAC degrader by switching the recruited E3 ligase. A detailed profiling of the anticancer properties of 1j demonstrated its significant antiproliferative activity against both hematological and solid cancer cell lines, driven by cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induction.
