Abstract: The present application describes stapled peptide degron chimeras, which act as protein degradation inducing moieties, either by combining a stapled peptide that binds a disease-related protein with a small molecule degron, such as a cereblon- or VHL-binding small molecule as the degron, or a polypeptide sequence degron, such as a Cop1-binding Trib peptide as the degron; or by combining a stapled peptide degron with a peptide, such as a stapled peptide, or a small molecule that binds a disease-related protein. The present application also relates to methods for the targeted degradation of endogenous proteins through the use of stapled peptide degron chimeras which can be utilized in the treatment of proliferative disorders or other conditions whereby elimination of a disease-causing or disease-related protein would have a therapeutic benefit. The present application also provides methods for making compounds of the application and intermediates thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides combination therapy comprising a BET inhibitor and a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activator, a B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitor, a B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-xl) inhibitor, a casein kinase 2 (CK2) inhibitor, and/or a mediator complex subunit 1 (MED1) for cancer.

Abstract: The present invention provides bivalent inhibitors of BET bromodomains, such as compounds of Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), and (VI).

Bivalent inhibitors of BET bromodomains provided herein can target bromodomains through advantageous multivalent interactions, and can therefore can be to treat diseases or conditions associated with bromodomain-containing proteins. The present also provides pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the inventive compounds, as well as methods of using the inventive compounds.
