Accelerating fibrosarcoma protein degrading compounds and associated methods of use

Abstract

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.
