Embodiment

[0547] Proper protein secretion (section) and turnover are necessary processes to maintain homeostasis. Newly synthesized proteins targeted for secretion are first transported to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are post-translationally modified with sialic acid-terminal N-linked glycan chains (1). As proteins age, terminal sialic acid residues are removed by circulating endogenous glycosidases (2). This natural protein aging process exposes galactose and N-acetylgalactose (GalNAc) residues, which bind to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) on the surface of hepatocytes (3-5).

[0548] ASGPR is a C-type lectin that removes aged circulating proteins as well as exposed GalNAc residues from circulation by transporting them into lysosomes. Display of multiple galactose or GalNAc residues on the protein surface is essential for high affinity binding - and subsequent endocytosis by - ASGPR (6, 7). Once these proteins are endocytosed, they are released from ASGPR by deplet...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to bifunctional small molecules which contain a circulating protein binding moiety (CPBM) linked through a linker group to a cellular receptor binding moiety (CRBM) which is a membrane receptor of degrading cell such as a hepatocyte or other degrading cell. In embodiments, the (CRBM) is a moiety which binds to asialoglycoprotein receptor (an asialoglycoprotein receptor binding moiety, or ASGPRBM) of a hepatocyte. In additional embodiments, the (CRBM) is a moiety which binds to a receptor of other cells which can degrade proteins, such as a LRP1, LDLR, FcyRI, FcRN, Transferrin or Macrophage Scavenger receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions based upon these bifunctional small molecules represent an additional aspect of the present invention. These compounds and / or compositions may be used to treat disease states and conditions by removing circulating proteins through degradation in the hepatocytes or macrophages of a patient or subject in need of therapy.Methods of treating disease states and / or conditions in which circulating proteins are associated with the disease state and / or condition are also described herein.
