Publication number: 20240140999Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Loren D. Walensky, Gregory H. Bird, Ann Morgan Cathcart, Rida Mourtada, Henry D. Herce, James E. Bradner

Patent number: 11406645Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically compositions thereof. Compounds of Formula (I) are binders of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., bromo and extra terminal (BET) proteins). Also provided are methods, uses, and kits using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the activity (e.g., increased activity) of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins and for treating and/or preventing in a subject diseases associated with bromodomains or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., proliferative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning). The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits are also useful for male contraception.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc.Inventors: James E.

Publication number: 20220119416Abstract: The present invention provides bivalent inhibitors of BET bromodomains, such as compounds of Formulae (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), and (VI). Some bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., BRD4) have a tandem bromodomain primary structure comprising more than one bromodomain binding site (e.g., BRD4 comprises BD1 and BD2). 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2020Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc.Inventors: James E.
