NK7-902 diTFA is a selective and orally active CRBN-dependent NEK7 molecular glue degrader with Kd values of 1.5 and 2.6 µM for hNEK7 and mNEK7. NK7-902 diTFA fully degrades NEK7 in human primary monocytes and whole blood but only partially inhibits NLRP3-dependent IL-1beta production. NK7-902 diTFA shows activity in murine systems and induces a profound and long-lasting NEK7 degradation but only transiently blocks NLRP3 inflammasome activation. NK7-902 diTFA can be used for the research of inflammation, such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes[1].
