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,其作为靶向泛素化的调节剂具有实用性,特别是作为本发明的双功能化合物对各种被降解和/或受到抑制的多肽和其他蛋白质的抑制剂。具体而言,本发明涉及含有一端结合泛素连接酶的VHL配体,另一端结合靶蛋白的基团的化合物,使得靶蛋白靠近泛素连接酶以促使该蛋白的降解(和抑制)。本发明展示了与本发明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。
