  • Patent number: 12577255
    Abstract: The description relates to MDM2 binding compounds, including bifunctional compounds comprising the same, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the description provides compounds, which contain on one end a ligand which binds to the MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. Compounds can be synthesized that exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides of nearly any type.

  • Patent number: 12569464
    Abstract: The present disclosure is based on the surprising and unexpected discovery that a ligand molecule with certain characteristics is able to bind to two protein molecules simultaneously and recruit them to form a transient or stable protein-protein interaction complex. The protein-protein interaction and other cross-domain interactions gained in this process contribute additional stabilization energy to the complex beyond the combination of the binary binding energies, and therefore, largely increase the binding potency of the ligand. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides a Protein-Protein Interaction Inducing Technology (PPIIT), which includes a method to design and identify the tripartite or bifunctional compounds and use such compounds to induce protein-protein interactions in various contexts. The present disclosure also provides a composition for the purpose of inducing protein-protein interactions.
