This compound is primarily utilized in the field of cancer research, specifically for targeting and degrading Mcl1, a protein that plays a critical role in the survival of cancer cells. By inducing the degradation of Mcl1, it helps to promote apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells, making it a promising tool for the development of novel anti-cancer therapies. Its application is particularly relevant in studying drug resistance mechanisms and exploring potential treatments for cancers that rely on Mcl1 for survival, such as certain types of leukemia and solid tumors. Researchers also use it to investigate the broader implications of protein degradation pathways in cellular processes.
