  • Patent number: 11512083
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, 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 present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the 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. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

  • Patent number: 11480576
    Abstract: A phenyleneethynylene macrocycle (PEMC) is constructed that is a cyclic or polycyclic oligo (oligophenyleneethynylene-co-polyamine) where a monodispersed oligophenyleneethynylene is coupled with a polyamine. The PEMC is formed by coupling a monodispersed di-aldehyde end-capped oligophenyleneethynylene with a polyamine to form a macrocyclic imine and reducing the imine to an amine. The PEMC is useful at entering living cells for the fluorescence imaging of the living cells without toxicity to the cells.
