Abstrakt: In this study, we describe the rapid identification of potent binders for the WD40 repeat domain (WDR) of DCAF1. This was achieved by two rounds of iterative focused screening of a small set of compounds selected on the basis of internal WDR domain knowledge followed by hit expansion. Subsequent structure-based design led to nanomolar potency binders with a clear exit vector enabling DCAF1-based bifunctional degrader exploration.
