We present the development of the first small molecule degraders that can induce anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) degradation, including in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), and neuroblastoma (NB) cell lines. These degraders were developed through conjugation of known pyrimidine-based ALK inhibitors, TAE684 or LDK378, and the cereblon ligand pomalidomide. We demonstrate that in some cell types degrader potency is compromised by expression of drug transpor ...[more]
