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.

Abstract: Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Kirsten ras sarcoma protein (KRas or KRAS), are described herein. In particular, the hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a moiety that binds to the Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds KRas, 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.

Abstract: The invention is directed to 6-(4-pyrimidinyl)-1H-indazole derivatives. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to Formula (I) wherein R1-R4 are defined herein. The compounds of the invention axe inhibitors of PDK1 and can be useful in the treatment of immune and metabolic diseases and disorders characterized by constitutively activated ACG kinases such as cancer and more specifically cancers of the breast, colon, and lung. Accordingly, the invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention. The invention is still further directed to methods of inhibiting PDK1 activity and treatment of disorders associated therewith using a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention.

Abstract: The invention is directed to substituted indoline derivatives. Specifically, the invention is directed to compounds according to Formula I: wherein R1, R2, and R3 are defined herein. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of PERK and can be useful in the treatment of cancer, ocular diseases, and diseases associated with activated unfolded protein response pathways, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, Type 1 diabetes Parkinson disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and arrhythmias, and more specifically cancers of the breast, colon, pancreatic, and lung. Accordingly, the invention is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention. The invention is still further directed to methods of inhibiting PERK activity and treatment of disorders associated therewith using a compound of the invention or a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the invention.
