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 that are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds of the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand that binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end 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 that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds of the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.
本发明涉及双功能化合物,它们可作为靶向泛素化的调节剂,特别是本发明双功能化合物降解和/或以其他方式抑制的各种多肽和其他蛋白质的抑制剂。特别是,本发明涉及的化合物一端含有与泛素连接酶结合的 VHL 配体,另一端含有与靶蛋白结合的分子,从而使靶蛋白靠近泛素连接酶,以达到降解(和抑制)该蛋白的效果。本发明显示了与本发明化合物相关的广泛药理活性,与降解/抑制靶向多肽的作用相一致。
