                                        Comment: KT-474 is a PROTAC degrader of interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4). It is in Kymera Therapeutics' pipeline and is initially being developed for potential to treat the autoimmune conditions atopic dermatitis and hidradenitis suppurativa [2]. A thalidomide analogue moiety is employed to direct the bound IRAK4 to the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway via the thalidomide-cereblon interaction.
