Cereblon modulator
Cereblon E3 ligase modulator
- Redirects the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase → tags selected proteins for degradation
- Degrades Ikaros/Aiolos → anti-myeloma and immunomodulatory effects
- Degradation of developmental transcription factors → teratogenicity
- Redirects an E3 ligase to degrade specific proteins
- Teratogenic through degradation of developmental transcription factors
- Thromboembolism risk
Drugs with this mechanism (2)
- Lenalidomide — Cereblon modulator for myeloma; thalidomide analog with the same teratogenicity.
- Thalidomide — Immunomodulator used for myeloma and erythema nodosum leprosum; extreme teratogenicity, neuropathy, and thrombosis risks.
