The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially 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,它们可作为靶向泛素化的调节剂,特别是可被根据本发明的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。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,以实现对该蛋白的降解(和抑制)。本发明显示了与根据本发明的化合物相关的广泛的药理活性,与降解/抑制靶向
多肽一致。
