  • Publication number: 20240158405
    Abstract: Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of non-receptor Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), are described herein. In particular, the bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a moiety that binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds LRRK2, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aberrant regulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

  • Patent number: 11981683
    Abstract: Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), are described herein. In particular, the hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a moiety that binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds LRRK2, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aberrant regulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

  • Publication number: 20230099344
    Abstract: This application relates to a bifunctional compound having the structure of Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, enantiomer, stereoisomer, or isotopic derivative thereof, which contains, on one end, a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase that binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and, on the other end, a moiety that binds the target protein, Interleukin-1 Receptor-Associated Kinase 4 (IRAK-4), such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from cellular signaling mediated by the target protein are treated or prevented with bifunctional compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.
