@Real_Dr_Kessler synthesis was rather straightforward and fun since we just had to dimerize the precursors... but being in the way-beyond-Ro5 space (MW > 2000) is not so fun when trying to optimize PK properties 🥲

All complaining about the size of PROTACs should look at those molecules: HomoBacPROTACs. Great to see this finally published: Clp-targeting BacPROTACs impair mycobacterial proteostasis and survival cell.com/cell/fulltext/…
English
The second half of our homo-BacPROTAC story is now out in @CellCellPress (even before the other half is accepted)! @DHoi93 walks you through the awesome biology behind this study.
Huge thanks to everyone involved @clausen_lab @ChemHaWei @SchmiedelVolker @somrajguha03 & many more

Excited to share our recent work from the @clausen_lab published in @CellPressNews as part 2 of the BacPROTAC story. Here we use targeted protein degradation as an antibiotics strategy to induce self-elimination of essential mycobacterial Clp proteins. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@DHoi93 @Boehringer it was a pleasure working with you folks at IMP, knowing our compounds are in such talented hands :)

A shoutout to @lukasjunk and our partners at @Boehringer RCV for synthesizing these new chemical modalities. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxi…

@HartungIngo In den Mitteilungseinstellungen (unter iOS ganz unten) auch Testalarms via Cell Broadcast erlaubt?

Bei mir gar nicht. Zwei Handys, einmal O2, einmal T-Online. Keine SMS, kein Warnton. Wohne mitten in der Stadt. Dafür 3mal Sirenen aus unterschiedlichen Richtungen: 11 Uhr, 11.15 Uhr (Entwarnung?), 12 Uhr (Sirene auf Sommerzeit?). Zu Weihnachten vielleicht ein Fax-Gerät wünschen!

Am 8. Dezember 2022 findet der bundesweite #Warntag2022 statt. Am Aktionstag wird zum ersten Mal auch #CellBroadcast erprobt, mit dem Warnungen an viele Mobilfunkgeräte verschickt werden können. Wie das funktioniert? Das @BBK_Bund informiert: bbk.bund.de/DE/Warnung-Vor…

"BacPROTAC" ist unser "Stichwort des Monats"!
— Ein Team um @clausen_lab (@IMPvienna) & Markus Kaiser (@unidue) übertrug das Konzept des PROTAC-intiierten Proteinabbaus auf Bakterien – und macht damit die Entwicklung neuartiger #Antibiotika möglich … 👉 laborjournal.de/rubric/stichwo…

@agrossfield @leslievosshall @HHMINEWS @ardemp shortdoi.org will turn any doi into a 6-letter one. saw it once in a talk and it just makes sense
English
We're doing a thing! Speakers @HHMINEWS Science Meetings will no longer put journal names on their talk slides.
Instead display first author, year, PMID (or DOI) like @ardemp
Why?
-end prestige-signaling
-people can actually find reference

@LSE_editors Thank you so much! The editing and suggestions from @MilkaKostic helped a lot in streamlining the story.

@rs_mito Probably nothing. The cyclomarins are highly selective for mycobacterial ClpC1, we don't even see any effects on other gram-positive or gram-negative bacteria
English
I’m excited to share our work on the development of bacterial PROTACs acting against Mycobacterium tuberculosis :) Our "homo-BacPROTACs" are able to kill drug-resistant Mtb by inducing the degradation of ClpC1, an essential protein in mycobacteria.

@christine_m_le thanks Christine :) I thought so since I heard he was a postdoc in the Lautens lab. The chemistry-world is rather small after all
English
@lukasjunk Congratulations! By the way, I know Harald very well 😊

This is the first time that TPD and the BacPROTAC concept have been used to construct antibiotics. It’s a totally new way of killing bacteria. Big thanks go out to everyone involved and the great teams at

English
In an SAR study of a library of homo-BacPROTACs, we investigated their solubility, permeability, binding and antibacterial properties. These findings pave the way for further improvements on the way to make BacPROTACs feasible as drugs against TB.
English
Upon dimerization, we observed a jump in MIC against Mtb by one order of magnitude! The degradation of the target protein leads to an efficient killing of the bacteria. It even kills multi-drug-resistant Mtb and those residing in macrophages.
English
Guiding you through the paper:
We connected two cyclomarin units using click chemistry or olefin metathesis to make BacPROTACs that hijack the unfoldase ClpC1 and cause it to be degraded by its own associated protease ClpP1P2.
