CQ627 is a molecular glue targeting the degradation of RIOK2. It effectively induces the degradation of RIOK2 in the MOLT4 leukemia cell line via the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) by recruiting the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF126, with a DC50 value of 410 nM. CQ627 dose-dependently induces apoptosis in MOLT4 leukemia cells, blocks their cell cycle in the G2/M phase, and exhibits antiproliferative activities in various cancer cell lines. CQ627 also demonstrates in vivo anticancer activity in a MOLT4 xenograft mouse model[1].
