OSMI-4-based PROTACs do not influence O-GlcNAc transferase and O-GlcNAcylation levels in cells†
Abstract
The O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) inhibitors disclosed thus far are burdened with certain shortcomings. We have incorporated OSMI-4, a nanomolar OGT inhibitor, into PROTACs. The prepared chimeras failed to induce effective OGT degradation or influence O-GlcNAcylation levels in MM.1S cells.
