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.
本说明涉及
亚胺基化合物,包括包含
亚胺基化合物的双官能化合物,这些化合物可用作靶向泛素化的调节剂,特别是各种
多肽和其他蛋白质的
抑制剂,根据本发明的双官能化合物可降解和/或以其他方式抑制这些
多肽和蛋白质。具体而言,本发明提供的化合物一端含有与脑龙 E3 泛素连接酶结合的
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,以实现对该蛋白的降解(和抑制)。可以合成出具有广泛药理活性的化合物,这些化合物几乎可以降解/抑制任何类型的目标
多肽。
