  • Patent number: 11834460
    Abstract: The description relates to imide-based compounds, including bifunctional compounds comprising the same, 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 description provides compounds, which contain on one end a ligand which binds to the cereblon E3 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. Compounds can be synthesized that exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides of nearly any type.

  • Patent number: 11028088
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Burton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds. One end of a bifunctional compound includes a Von Hippel-Lindau, Cereblon, Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins, or Mouse Double-Minute Homolog 2 ligand that binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase. The other end of a bifunctional compound includes a moiety that binds a target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation, accumulation, and/or overactivation of the target protein can be treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.
