Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) is an innovative drug discovery strategy that utilizes bifunctional small molecules to bring a target protein (POI) into proximity with an E3 ubiquitin ligase, thereby inducing ubiquitination of the pathogenic protein and its subsequent degradation by the proteasome. PROTACs exhibit a novel mechanism of action, catalytic efficiency, high selectivity, and broad applicability. They have achieved significant breakthroughs, particularly in oncology, with severa
