Research at Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma GmbH & Co. KG has led to the development of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) comprising a Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase (VHL)-binding moiety covalently linked to probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α) and/or transcription activator BRG1 (SMARCA4; BAF190A; SNF2-β) targeting moiety through a linker.
