  • Publication number: 20230158159
    Abstract: Provided herein are bifunctional compounds that bind cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) and/or promote targeted ubiquitination for the degradation of CDK9. In particular, provided are compounds that can bind CDK9, a protein whose dysregulation is implicated in a variety of cancers, and can promote CDK9?s degradation by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., Cereblon, VHL). The E3 ubiquitin ligase can ubiquitinate CDK9, marking it for proteasomal degradation. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds. Also provided are methods of treating cancer, and methods of promoting the degradation of CDK9 protein by E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in a subject or biological sample by administering a compound or composition described herein.
