Abstract

We developed a first-in-class proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) for selective degradation of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8). The PROTAC induced degradation of HDAC8 without affecting the levels of other HDACs in cellular assays, and inhibited the growth of T-cell leukemia Jurkat cells more potently than a conventional HDAC8 Inhibitor.
