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 which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the 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. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.
本发明涉及双功能化合物,其作为靶向泛素化调节剂而发挥作用,特别是根据本发明的双功能化合物抑制各种
多肽和其他蛋白质的变体,这些蛋白质通过双功能化合物降解和/或受到其他方式的抑制。具体地,本发明涉及含有一端结合泛素连接酶的
VHL
配体的化合物,另一端结合目标蛋白的部分,使得目标蛋白与泛素连接酶靠近,以促使该蛋白的降解(和抑制)。根据本发明的化合物表现出与本发明的化合物相关的广泛的药理活性范围,与靶向
多肽的降解/抑制一致。
