The description relates to cereblon E3 ligase binding 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 disclosure. 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.

Cereblon ligands and bifunctional compounds comprising the same

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of estrogen receptor (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a cereblon, Von Hippel-Lindau ligase-binding moiety, Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins, or mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand, which binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase, and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

Modulators of estrogen receptor proteolysis and associated methods of use

Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (Raf, such as c-Raf, A-Raf, and/or B-Raf), 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 Raf, 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.

Accelerating fibrosarcoma protein degrading compounds and associated methods of use

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of estrogen receptor (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end at least one of a Von Hippel-Lindau ligand, a cereblon ligand, Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins ligand, mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand, or a combination thereof, which binds to the respective E3 ubiquitin ligase, and on the other end a moiety which binds the target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

Tetrahydronaphthalene and tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives as estrogen receptor degraders

Provided herein are bifunctional compounds having the chemical structure I:PTM-L-CLM  (I);or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which find utility as modulators of Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (Raf, such as c-Raf, A-Raf, and/or B-RAF) and are useful in the treatment of a variety of Raf mediated conditions or diseases, such as cancer, specifically lung cancer, skin cancer, or colorectal cancer.

Rapid accelerated fibrosarcoma (RAF) degrading compounds and associated methods of use

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility to degrade (and inhibit) Androgen Receptor. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a cereblon ligand which binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds Androgen Receptor, such that Androgen Receptor is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of Androgen Receptor. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present disclosure, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of Androgen Receptor.
