Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) is emerging as a promising technology in targeted protein degradation and drug discovery. However, there is still a lack of effective chemical tools to real-time detect and track the protein degradation. Herein, the first fluorescent and theranostic PROTACs were designed for imaging the degradation of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) in living cells. Compound
