The synthesis of new functionally diverse alkenyl-derived Cr-MIL-101s (MIL=material of Institute Lavoisier) was realized by a novel and convenient postsynthetic modification (PSM) protocol by means of the carbon-carbon bond-forming Mizoroki-Heck reaction. The new PSM protocol demonstrates a broad scope of substrates with excellent tolerance of functionality under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, a new metal-organic framework (MOF) that bears both alkenyl and thiol side chains prepared by means of the tandem PSM method has shown excellent adsorbent ability in removing mercury ions from water.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase proteolysis-targeting chimeras (BTK-PROTACs) have emerged as a promising approach to address the limitations of BTK inhibitors. However, conducting the rational discovery of orally bioavailable BTK-PROTACs presents significant challenges. In this study, dimensionality reduction analysis and model molecule validation were utilized to identify some key structural features for improving the oral absorption of BTK-PROTACs. The results were applied to optimize the newly discovered BTK-PROTACs B1 and B2. Compound C13 was discovered with improved oral bioavailability, high BTK degradation activity, and selectivity. It exhibited inhibitory effects against different hematologic cancer cells and attenuated the BTK-related signaling pathway. The oral administration of C13 effectively reduced BTK protein levels and suppressed tumor growth. This study led to the discovery of a new orally bioavailable BTK-PROTAC for the treatment of lymphoma, and we hope that the strategy will find wide utility.
