  • Publication number: 20250114356
    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.

  • Patent number: 12264157
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.
