  • Compounds and methods for the targeted degradation of fetal liver kinase polypeptides
    Patent number: 10806737
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of FLT3 (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a Von Hppel-Lindau, cereblon, ligand which binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein FLT3, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of the target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

  • Complex and structurally diverse compounds
    Patent number: 10800730
    Abstract: The invention provides a novel, general, and facile strategy for the creation of small molecules with high structural and stereochemical complexity. Aspects of the methods include ring system distortion reactions that are systematically applied to rapidly convert readily available natural products to structurally complex compounds with diverse molecular architectures. Through evaluation of chemical properties including fraction of sp3 carbons, ClogP, and the number of stereogenic centers, these compounds are shown to be significantly more complex and diverse than those in standard screening collections. This approach is demonstrated with natural products (gibberellic acid, adrenosterone, and quinine) from three different structural classes, and methods are described for the application of this strategy to any suitable natural product.

  • Kinase and/or phosphatase sensing via hydroxyquinoline-sensitized chelates
    Patent number: 10799603
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to assays of enzymes responsible for phosphoregulation including kinases (such as protein kinases, which mediate protein and peptide phosphorylation) and phosphatases (such as protein phosphatases, which mediate protein and peptide dephosphorylation). Certain aspects of the invention use lanthanide ions such as europium ions that exhibit chelation-enhanced luminescence. Phosphorylation of a peptide by a kinase may cause a complex to form between the lanthanide ion, the phosphate group, and a reporter group such as a hydroxyquinoline, which results in luminescence when in the complexed state. Thus, in certain embodiments, determination of luminescence may be indicative of kinase activity. Certain embodiments also include the use of substrates for detection of phosphatase activity, where dephosphorylation results in a loss of signal assay.
