Distribution coefficients at pH 7.4 were estimated by an HPLC-based method.
Plasma protein binding; experimentally determined percentage of compound bound to human serum albumin.
Chromatographic hydrophobicity index values referring to IAM chromatography (CHIIAM values).
Logarithm of the solubility measured in mol/L at pH 6.8 by an HPLC-based method.
Percentage of degraded target protein (BRD4 after 24 h treatment of MOLT4 cells with 0.1 μM of PROTACs 43–45 or HDAC6 after 24 h treatment of MM.1S cells with 0.1 μM of PROTACs 50, 51, or A6). Values are normalized to respective loading controls and to DMSO-treated conditions. BRD4/HDAC6 degradation data represent the average of at least two independent biological experiments.
Not determined.
