DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0018] It is recognized in the present disclosure that tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) receptor family comprises three members, TRKA, TRKB and TRKC that are encoded by the NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes, respectively (Khotskaya et al., 2017). TRKs are receptor tyrosine kinases primarily implicated in development and functions of the neuronal tissues. The main ligands of TRKs include nerve growth factor (NGF) for TRKA, brain-derived growth factor (BDGF) for TRKB, and neurotrophins for TRKC (Vaishnavi et al., 2015). The binding of ligands to the extracellular domains of TRKs induces dimerization and activation of the receptors, which activates downstream signal transduction pathways, such as PI3K / AKT, RAF / MEK / ERK, and PLCγ pathways. These pathways have well established roles to support cellular proliferation, survival, and promote oncogenesis (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011).

[0019] It is further recognized herein that, like many other oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases, TRKs are aberrantly activated in a variety of human malignancies. Interestingly, the primary molecular mechanism activating TRKs in cancer is not point mutations but in-frame fusions of NTRK genes (Vaishnavi et al., 2015). Typically, the 3' regions of the NTRK genes are joined with the 5' regions of a partner gene due to chromosomal rearrangement. The resulted chimeric proteins always retain the kinase domain of TRK proteins, indicating that the catalytic functions are crucial to the transforming activities. Loss of the 5' regions of the NTRK genes that encode the self-inhibitory domains renders these fusion kinases constitutively active. Additionally, expression of the chimeric proteins is driven by the promoters of the fusion partners, which often result in overexpression. The most common TRK fusions include LMNA-TRKA, TPM3-TRKA, and ETV6-TRKC (Amatu et al., 2016). Hence, genetic events lead to overexpressed and constitutively active TRK-fusion kinases. These fusions are oncogenic, as shown by their ability to transform mouse embryonic fibroblasts and normal epithelium (Russell et al., 2000; Vaishnavi et al., 2015).

[0020] TRK fusion was first reported in a human colon carcinoma, which was named as oncD at that time (Martin-Zanca et al., 1986). Recent advances in high-throughput RNA sequencing greatly promote the efficiency of identifying chromosomal rearrangement events in patient samples. Consequently, TRK fusions have been found across a wide range of human malignancies, including but are not limited to non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, low-grade glioma glioblastoma, Spitzoid cancer, soft tissue sarcoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, congenital fibrosarcoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, secretory breast carcinoma, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and ductal carcinoma (Amatu et al., 2016; Khotskaya et al., 2017) . The frequency of TRK fusions is relatively low. For example, approximately 0.5% to 2.7% colon cancers are affected by TRK fusions (Creancier et al., 2015; Lee et al., 2015). However, for certain cancer types, such as secretory breast carcinoma, TRK fusions can be found in the vast majority of cases (Tognon et al., 2002).

[0021] TRK mutations and deletions have been observed in additional human diseases, such as pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, anhidrosis syndrome, obesity, congenital heart defects, and acute myeloid leukemia (Khotskaya et al., 2017). In addition, TRK amplification are associated with several human diseases, such as liver cancer, invasive breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, uterine cancer, adrenal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, urinary bladder cancer, endometrial cancer, pheochromocytoma, Wilms' tumor, and prostate cancer (Khotskaya et al., 2017).

[0022] The never growth factor (NGF) and its main receptor, tropomyosin receptor kinase A (TRKA), have long been recognized for their roles in central and peripheral pain (Denk et al., 2017). Nociceptive neurons express TRKA and mediate pain sensation by transmitting pain signals to the central nervous system. Multiple NGF-neutralizing antibodies, such as tanezumab, are undergoing clinical assessment in patients with osteoarthritis, lower back pain, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, and other pain conditions (Miller et al., 2017). The efficacy of NGF antibodies in pain relief has been clearly documented in clinics. However, administration of NGF neutralizing antibodies has been shown to result in rapidly progressed joint destruction in some patients that leads to total joint replacement (Schnitzer and Marks, 2015). These adverse events may be related to sustained exposure to NGF antibodies. Targeting TRK represents another promising therapeutic strategy blocking the NGF / TRK signaling pathway for pain management. However, currently available pan-TRK kinase inhibitors may induce significant on-target adverse effects through modulating TRK family members in the central nervous system. Peripherally restricted TRK bifunctional degraders are expected to selective block the NGF / TRK pathway in peripheral nerves while spare these targets in the central nervous system.

[0023] TRK is associated with cancer, inflammatory diseases, acute and chronic pain, pruritus, bone-related diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases, and other diseases, including but no limited to neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, gastric carcinoma, lung carcinoma, liver cancer, uterine cancer, adrenal cancer, biliary tree cancer, intestinal cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric carcinoma, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, urinary bladder cancer, endometrial cancer, brain cancer, low-grade glioma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, secretory breast carcinoma, salivary gland cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, ductal carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, large cell neuroendocrine tumors, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, sarcomas, pheochromocytoma, fibrosarcoma, congenital fibrosarcoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, secretory breast carcinoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, embryonal rhabdomysocarcoma, leiomysosarcoma, neuro-fibrosarcoma, neoplasms of the central nervous systems, osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, liposarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, , Spitzoid cancer, Wilms' tumor, lymphomas (e.g. including Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, B-lineage large cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and T-cell anaplastic large cell lymphoma), inflammatory lung diseases (e.g. asthma), inflammatory bowel diseases, (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), inflammatory skin diseases (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis), interstitial cystitis, rhinitis, acute pain, chronic pain, cancer pain, surgical pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, nociceptive pain, pain of osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, low back pain of osteoporosis, pain of bone fracture, pain of rheumatoid arthritis, postherpetic pain, pain of diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, pain of pancreatitis, pain of interstitial cystitis, pain of endometriosis, pain of irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, pain of pulpitis, interstitial cystitis pain, painful bladder syndrome, central pain syndromes, postsurgical pain syndromes, bone and joint pain, repetitive motion pain, dental pain, myofascial pain, perioperative pain, dysmennorhea, myofascial pain, angina pain, headache, primary hyperalgesia, secondary hyperalgesia, primary allodynia, secondary allodynia, other pain caused by central sensitization, systemic cutaneous pruritus, localized cutaneous pruritus, senile cutaneous pruritus, gestational pruritus, pruritus ani, vulvar pruritus, metastatic bone disease, treatment-induce bone loss, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone metastases, ankylosing spondylitis, Paget's disease, periodontal disease, osteolytic disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Chagas disease, cachexia, anorexia, demyelination and dysmyelination.

[0024] TRK kinase inhibitors are currently undergoing clinical or pre-clinical development, including but are not limited to altiratinib (DCC2701, DCC-270, DP-5164) (Smith et al., 2015), sitravatinib (MGCD516) (Patwardhan et al., 2016), cabozantinib (XL-184, BMS-907351) (Fuse et al., 2017), dovitinib (TKI-258, CHIR-258) (Chong et al., 2017), entrectinib (RXDX-101) (Menichincheri et al., 2016), milciclib (PHA-848125AC) (Brasca et al., 2009), belizatinib (TSR-011) (Ricciuti et al., 2017), GZ389988 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), pegcantratinib (Cranston et al., 2017), AZD7451 (Tatematsu et al., 2014), larotrectinib (LOXO-101; ARRY-470) (Drilon et al., 2018), TPX-0005 (Cui et al., 2016), LOXO-195 (Blake et al., 2016), regorafenib (Subbiah et al., 2017), DS-6051b (Fujiwara et al., 2018), F17752 (Amatu et al., 2016), PLX7486 (Amatu et al., 2016), AZD-6918 (Li et al., 2015), ASP7962 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), VM902A (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), ONO-4474 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), PF-06273340 (Skerratt et al., 2016) and GNF-8625 (Choi et al., 2015). The most advanced ones are entrectinib and larotrectinib (Khotskaya et al., 2017). These agents are tested in basket trials that recruit patients according to detection of TRK-fusions instead of histology. The phase 2 results of larotrectinib demonstrated that most patients (75%) responded to the therapy and that 55% patient remained progression-free at 1 year (Drilon et al., 2018). Phase 1 results of entrectinib also recorded marked and durable response in patients with TRK-fusion tumors (Drilon et al., 2017b). The remarkable efficacy of TRK inhibitors was independent of tumor types. These substantial results collectively highlight a role of TRK fusions as the sole oncogenic drivers in a subset of human malignancies, irrespective of tissue of origin.

[0025] Non-specific side effects and the development of resistance to TRK kinase inhibitors remain a challenge in development of effective treatments. Thus, new small-molecule targeting TRK's functions through inhibition and / or degradation will be very useful.

[0026] Without wishing to be bound by any theory, the present disclosure is believed to be based, at least in part, on the discovery that novel heterobivalent small molecules which degrade TRK, TRK fusion proteins, and / or TRK mutant proteins are useful in the treatment of TRK-mediated diseases, particularly non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, liver cancer, invasive breast cancer, lung adenocarcinoma, uterine cancer, adrenal cancer, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, esophageal cancer, urinary bladder cancer, endometrial cancer, prostate cancer, low-grade glioma, glioblastoma, Spitzoid cancers, soft tissue sarcoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, congenital fibrosarcoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, secretory breast carcinoma, mammary analogue secretory carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, ductal carcinoma, pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, pheochromocytoma, and Wilms' tumor (Amatu et al., 2016; Khotskaya et al., 2017). The disclosed noval bifunctional TRK degraders are useful in the treatment of TRK-mediated cancer, inflammatory diseases, acute and chronic pain, pruritus, bone-related diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases, and other diseases, including but not limited to neuroblastoma, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, head and neck cancer, gastric carcinoma, lung carcinoma, liver cancer, uterine cancer, adrenal cancer, biliary tree cancer, intestinal cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, lung carcinoma, small cell lung cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, gastric carcinoma, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, urinary bladder cancer, endometrial cancer, brain cancer, low-grade glioma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, secratory breast cancer, secretory breast carcinoma, salivary gland cancer, papillary thyroid carcinoma, ductal carcinoma, adult myeloid leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, large cell neuroendocrine tumors , pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors, sarcomas, pheochromocytoma, fibrosarcoma, congenital fibrosarcoma, congenital mesoblastic nephroma, secretory breast carcinoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, embryonal rhabdomysocarcoma, leiomysosarcoma, neuro-fibrosarcoma, neoplasms of the central nervous systems, osteosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, liposarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, , Spitzoid cancer, Wilms' tumor, lymphomas (e.g. including Hodgkin's lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma, B-lineage large cell lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, and T-cell anaplastic large cell lymphoma), inflammatory lung diseases (e.g. asthma), inflammatory bowel diseases, (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease), inflammatory skin diseases (e.g. atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis), interstitial cystitis, rhinitis, acute pain, chronic pain, cancer pain, surgical pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, nociceptive pain, pain of osteoarthritis, chronic low back pain, low back pain of osteoporosis, pain of bone fracture, pain of rheumatoid arthritis, postherpetic pain, pain of diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia, pain of pancreatitis, pain of interstitial cystitis, pain of endometriosis, pain of irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, pain of pulpitis, interstitial cystitis pain, painful bladder syndrome, central pain syndromes, postsurgical pain syndromes, bone and joint pain, repetitive motion pain, dental pain, myofascial pain, perioperative pain, dysmennorhea, myofascial pain, angina pain, headache, primary hyperalgesia, secondary hyperalgesia, primary allodynia, secondary allodynia, other pain caused by central sensitization, systemic cutaneous pruritus, localized cutaneous pruritus, senile cutaneous pruritus, gestational pruritus, pruritus ani, vulvar pruritus, metastatic bone disease, treatment-induce bone loss, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone metastases, ankylosing spondylitis, Paget's disease, periodontal disease, osteolytic disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Chagas disease, cachexia, anorexia, demyelination and dysmyelination.

[0027] Selective degradation of a target protein induced by a small molecule may be achieved by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase and mimicking protein misfolding with a hydrophobic tag (Buckley and Crews, 2014). Additionally, the small molecule has one moiety that binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase and another moiety that binds the protein target of interest (Buckley and Crews, 2014). The induced proximity leads to ubiquitination of the target followed by its degradation via proteasome-mediated proteolysis. Several types of high affinity small-molecule E3 ligase ligands have been identified or developed. They include (1) immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) such as thalidomide and pomalidomide, which bind cereblon (CRBN or CRL4CRBN), a component of a cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Chamberlain et al., 2014; Fischer et al., 2014; Ito et al., 2010; Winter et al., 2015); (2) VHL-1, a hydroxyproline-containing ligand, which binds van Hippel-Lindau protein (VHL or CRL2VHL), a component of another CRL complex (Bondeson et al., 2015; Buckley et al., 2012a; Buckley et al., 2012b; Galdeano et al., 2014; Zengerle et al., 2015); (3) compound 7, which selectively binds KEAP1, a component of a CRL3 complex(Davies et al., 2016); (4) AMG232, which selectively binds MDM2, a heterodimeric RING E3 ligase(Sun et al., 2014); and (5) LCL161, which selectively binds IAP, a homodimeric RING E3 ligase (Ohoka et al., 2017; Okuhira et al., 2011; Shibata et al., 2017). The E3 ligase recruiting bifunctional degrader technology has been applied to degradation of several protein targets (Bondeson et al., 2015; Buckley et al., 2015; Lai et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2015; Winter et al., 2015; Zengerle et al., 2015). In addition, a hydrophobic tagging approach, which utilizes a bulky and hydrophobic adamantyl group, has been developed to mimic protein misfolding, leading to the degradation of the target protein by proteasome (Buckley and Crews, 2014). This approach has been applied to selective degradation of the pseudokinase HER3 (Xie et al., 2014). The inventors have not yet seen any efforts applying any of these approaches to degradation of TRK, TRK mutant, TRK deletion, or TRK fusion proteins.

[0028] Currently available small molecules targeting TRK focus on inhibition of the kinase activity of TRK. A number of selective small-molecule TRK kinase inhibitors, such as altiratinib (DCC2701, DCC-270, DP-5164) (Smith et al., 2015), sitravatinib (MGCD516) (Patwardhan et al., 2016), cabozantinib (XL-184, BMS-907351) (Fuse et al., 2017), dovitinib (TKI-258, CHIR-258) (Chong et al., 2017), entrectinib (RXDX-101) (Menichincheri et al., 2016), milciclib (PHA-848125AC) (Brasca et al., 2009), belizatinib (TSR-011) (Ricciuti et al., 2017), GZ389988 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), pegcantratinib (Cranston et al., 2017), AZD7451 (Tatematsu et al., 2014), larotrectinib (LOXO-101; ARRY-470) (Drilon et al., 2018), TPX-0005 (Cui et al., 2016), LOXO-195 (Blake et al., 2016), regorafenib (Subbiah et al., 2017), DS-6051b (Fujiwara et al., 2018), F17752(Amatu et al., 2016), PLX7486 (Amatu et al., 2016), AZD-6918 (Li et al., 2015), ASP7962 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), VM902A (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), ONO-4474 (Bailey et al., 2017a, b), PF-06273340 (Skerratt et al., 2016) and GNF-8625 (Choi et al., 2015) have been reported.

[0029] In the present disclosure, a novel approach is taken: to develop compounds that directly and selectively modulate not only the kinase activity of TRK, but also its protein level. Strategies for inducing protein degradation include recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases, mimicking protein misfolding with hydrophobic tags, and inhibiting chaperones. Such an approach, based on the use of bivalent small molecule compounds, permits more flexible regulation of protein levels in vitro and in vivo compared with techniques such as gene knockout or short hairpin RNA-mediated (shRNA) knockdown. Unlike gene knockout or shRNA knockdown, a small molecule approach further provides an opportunity to study dose and time dependency in a disease model through modulating the administration routes, concentrations and frequencies of administration of the corresponding small molecule.Bivalent Compounds

As used herein, a "TRK kinase inhibitor" refers to an agent that restrains, retards, or otherwise causes inhibition of a physiological, chemical or enzymatic action or function and causes a decrease in binding of at least 5%. An inhibitor can also or alternately refer to a drug, compound, or agent that prevents or reduces the expression, transcription, or translation of a gene or protein. An inhibitor can reduce or prevent the function of a protein, e.g., by binding to or activating / inactivating another protein or receptor.

[0073] As used herein, a "linker" or "linker moiety" is a bond, molecule, or group of molecules that binds two separate entities to one another. Linkers provide for optimal spacing of the two entities. The term "linker" can generally refer to any agent or molecule that bridges the TRK ligand to the degradation tag. One of ordinary skill in the art recognizes that sites on the TRK ligand or the degradation tag, which are not necessary for the function of the degraders of the present disclosure, are ideal sites for attaching a linker, provided that the linker, once attached to the conjugate of the present disclosures, does not interfere with the function of the TRK ligand, i.e., its ability to bind TRK, or the function of the degradation tag, i.e., its ability to recruit a ubiquitin ligase.

[0074] The length of the linker of the bivalent compound can be adjusted to minimize the molecular weight of the bivalent compounds, avoid the clash of the TRK ligand or targeting moiety with the ubiquitin ligase and / or induce TRK misfolding by the hydrophobic tag.

[0102] The binding affinity of novel synthesized bivalent compounds can be assessed using standard biophysical assays known in the art (e.g., isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), surface plasmon resonance (SPR)). Cellular assays can then be used to assess the bivalent compound's ability to induce TRK degradation and inhibit cancer cell proliferation. Besides evaluating a bivalent compound's induced changes in the protein levels of TRK, TRK mutants, or TRK fusion proteins, enzymatic activity can also be assessed. Assays suitable for use in any or all of these steps are known in the art, and include, e.g., western blotting, quantitative mass spectrometry (MS) analysis, flow cytometry, enzymatic activity assay, ITC, SPR, cell growth inhibition, xenograft, orthotopic, and patient-derived xenograft models. Suitable cell lines for use in any or all of these steps are known in the art and include, cancer cell lines: 1); KM12, 2); CUTO3.29, 3); MO91, 4); HEL. Suitable mouse models for use in any or all of these steps are known in the art and include subcutaneous xenograft models, orthotopic models, patient-derived xenograft models, and patient-derived orthotopic models.

[0103] By way of non-limiting example, detailed synthesis protocols are described in the Examples for specific exemplary bivalent compounds.

[0104] Pharmaceutically acceptable isotopic variations of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated and can be synthesized using conventional methods known in the art or methods corresponding to those described in the Examples (substituting appropriate reagents with appropriate isotopic variations of those reagents). Specifically, an isotopic variation is a compound in which at least one atom is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass different from the atomic mass usually found in nature. Useful isotopes are known in the art and include, for example, isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine. Exemplary isotopes thus include, e.g., 2< H, 3< H, 13< C, 14< C, 15< N, 17< O, 18< O, 32< P, 35< S, 18< F, and 36< Cl.

[0105] Isotopic variations (e.g., isotopic variations containing 2< H) can provide therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. In addition, certain isotopic variations (particularly those containing a radioactive isotope) can be used in drug or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium ( 3< H) and carbon-14 ( 14< C) are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection.

[0106] Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates of the compounds disclosed herein are contemplated. A solvate can be generated, e.g., by substituting a solvent used to crystallize a compound disclosed herein with an isotopic variation (e.g., D 2 O in place of H 2 O, d 6 -acetone in place of acetone, or d 6 -DMSO in place of DMSO).Characterization of Exemplary Bivalent Compounds

[0107] Specific bivalent compounds (comparative and according to the invention) were characterized in KM12 cells. KM12 cells that express TPM3-TRKA fusion protein were treated with 100 nM entrectinib (Entrec) or the bivalent compounds disclosed herein (CPD-001 - CPD-065) for 16 hours. Cells were collected, lysed and subject to immunoblotting using an antibody specific to TRK proteins. GAPDH was included as the loading control. DMSO was used as the negative control. Following a 16-hour treatment of various bivalent compounds at 100 nM, TPM3-TRKA levels in KM12 cells were significantly decreased (Figures 1A-1C).

[0108] Bi-functional compounds, exemplified by CPD-027, CPD-053, and CPD-060, were found to be partiucalrly effective in reducing TPM3-TRKA protein levels in KM12 cells (Figures 1A-1C). Treated with 100 nM CPD-027, CPD-053, or CPD-060 for various time points, significant degradation of TPM3-TRKA in KM12 cells was readily detected 15 minutes after adding the bivalent compounds (Figure 2). Additionally, a panel of selected compounds demonstrated the ability to induce significant degradation of TPM3-TRKA at concentration below 10 nM (Figures 5, 6 and 13). In addition to TPM3-TRKA, other TRK fusion proteins, such as AGBL4-TRKB and ETV6-TRKC, were also subject to bispecific compound-induced degradation (Figure 7). The interaction with cereblon is critical to the ability of bispecific compounds to induce degradation of TRK proteins, as a chemical modification that disrupted cereblon binding abolished TRKA degradation induced by TR-123 (Figure 8). The degradation was also dependent on the ubiquitin-proteasome system, because it could be neutralized by co-administration of proteasome inhibitors, MG-132 and bortezomib, a cullin E3 ligase inhibitor, MLN4924, or high concentration of pomalidomide that compete for cereblon binding (Figure 9). These findings collectively demonstrate that bispecific compounds induce degradation of TRK family proteins via a mechanism specifically mediated by cereblon, cullin E3 ligases, and the proteasome.

[0109] In addition to cultured cells, athymic nude mice bearing KM12 subcutaneous xenograft tumors at the right flank were intraperitoneally treated with 10, 20, or 50 mg / kg CPD-053, CPD-027, or CPD-060. Four hours after drug administration, animals were sacrificed for immunoblotting of TPM3-TPKA in homogenized xenograft tumor masses. The label "a" or "b" represents two different samples of the same xenograft tumor. Bivalent compounds, CPD-027, CPD-053, and CPD-060, exhibited the ability of significantly reducing TPM3-TRKA protein levels in KM12 subcutaneous xenograft tumors within 4 hours after a single dose of drug administration (Figure 3). Additionl compounds, as exemplified by TR-123, TR-171, TR-172, TR-173, TR-177, and TR-181, also exhibited the activities to induce TPM3-TRKA degradation in KM12 subcutaneous tumors through intraperitoneal or oral administration (Figure 10).

[0110] To investigate the pharmacokinetics of bi-functional compounds, exemplified by TR-123, a single 20 mg / kg intraperitoneal injection was evaluated. Plasma concentration of TR-123 reported at each time point represents the mean value derived from 3 experimental animals. Our data showed significant plasma exposure of TR-123 over 12 hours (Figure 11). Additionally, doses of 2mg / kg TR-198 via intravenous injection and 20 mg / kg TR-198 via oral gavage were evaluated in mice. Data showed that the oral bioavailability of TR-198 in mice was approximiately 16% (Figure 14).

[0111] The kinase activity of TRK is known to play important roles in tumors expressing TRK-fusion proteins, as TRK kinase inhibitors compromise cell proliferation, survival, and induce marked clinical responses (Amatu et al., 2016; Drilon et al., 2018; Drilon et al., 2017; Khotskaya et al., 2017). KM12 cells seeded in 96-well plates were treated with 500 nM entrectinib or bivalent compounds, i.e. CPD-010, CPD-053, and CPD-057 following a 12-point 2-fold serial dilution. Three days after treatment, cell viability was determined using the CellTiter-Glo kit following manufacturer's instructions. Cell viability was normalized to the mean values of 3 replicates of untreated cells. Dose-dependent response was analyzed following the least-squares non-linear regression method using the GraphPad Prism 5.0 software. Each data point in the figure represents the mean values of three technical replicates ± standard deviation. Bivalent compounds also dose-dependently suppressed viability of TPM3-TRKA-expressing KM12 cells, as exemplified by CPD-010, CPD-053, and CPD-057 (Figure 4A). More specifically, all bivalent compounds that had IC 50 values smaller than 1000 nM in KM12 cells induced degradation of TPM3-TRKA (Figure 1 and Table 2-4). In contrast, when KM12 or H358 cells were treated with 1000 nM CPD-053 following an 8-point 3-fold serial dilution, bivalent compounds, as exemplified by CPD-053, did not affect cell viability in KRAS-mutant H358 cells (Figure 4B). Finally, administration of bivalent compounds, as exemplified by CPD-060, TR-181, and TR-198, significantly repressed the growth of KM12 subcutaneous xenograft tumors without inducing substantial weight losses (Figure 12 and 15). Take together, these results indicate that bivalent compounds impair KM12 cell proliferation, survival and tumorigenic potential through specifically inducing degradation of TPM3-TRKA.

[0112] NGF and its primary receptor TRKA have been well recognized for their roles in pain sensory (Denk et al., 2017). Targeting TRKA represents a promising therapeutic strategy for chronic pain management. Bivalent compounds, exemplified by TR-123, have demonstrated the ability to induce significant degradation of full-length TRKA, same as TPM3-TRKA fusion (Figure 8, and 9). The analgesic activities of bivalent compounds were assessed using a widely used chronic pain model associated with osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis was induced in the right knee of adult male rats or guinea pigs following monoiodoacetate injection. One week later, animals were treated with TR-181 with ibuprofen as the positive control. The pain sensory was assessed as weight distribution between the injured limb and the contralateral limb using an incapacitance meter. Data showed significant analgesic activity of TR-181 in the osteoarthritis models of rats and guinea pigs (Figure 16).Definition of Terms

[0147] The term "substituted," means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more substituents independently selected from C 1 -C 4 alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, aryl-C 1 -C 4 alkyl-, heteroaryl-C 1 -C 4 alkyl-, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, -OC 1 -C 4 alkyl, -OC 1 -C 4 alkylphenyl, -C 1 -C 4 alkyl-OH, -OC 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, halo, -OH, -NH 2 , -C 1 -C 4 alkyl-NH 2 , -N(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -NH(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -N(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)(C 1 -C 4 alkylphenyl), -NH(C 1 -C 4 alkylphenyl), cyano, nitro, oxo, -CO 2 H, -C(O)OC 1 -C 4 alkyl, -CON(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -CONH(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -CONH 2 , -NHC(O)(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -NHC(O)(phenyl), -N(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)C(O)(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -N(C 1 -C 4 alkyl)C(O)(phenyl), -C(O)C 1 -C 4 alkyl, -C(O)C 1 -C 4 alkylphenyl, -C(O)C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, -OC(O)C 1 -C 4 alkyl, -SO 2 (C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -SO 2 (phenyl), -SO 2 (C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl), - SO 2 NH 2 , -SO 2 NH(C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -SO 2 NH(phenyl), -NHSO 2 (C 1 -C 4 alkyl), -NHSO 2 (phenyl), and -NHSO 2 (C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl).

[0148] The term "null" means the absence of an atom or moiety, and there is a bond between adjacent atoms in the structure.

[0149] The term "optionally substituted" means that the specified group may be either unsubstituted or substituted by one or more substituents as defined herein. It is to be understood that in the compounds disclosed herein when a group is said to be "unsubstituted," or is "substituted" with fewer groups than would fill the valencies of all the atoms in the compound, the remaining valencies on such a group are filled by hydrogen. For example, if a C 6 aryl group, also called "phenyl" herein, is substituted with one additional substituent, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that such a group has 4 open positions left on carbon atoms of the C 6 aryl ring (6 initial positions, minus one at which the remainder of the compound disclosed herein is attached to and an additional substituent, remaining 4 positions open). In such cases, the remaining 4 carbon atoms are each bound to one hydrogen atom to fill their valencies. Similarly, if a C 6 aryl group in the present compounds is said to be "disubstituted," one of ordinary skill in the art would understand it to mean that the C 6 aryl has 3 carbon atoms remaining that are unsubstituted. Those three unsubstituted carbon atoms are each bound to one hydrogen atom to fill their valencies.

[0150] As used herein, the same symbol in different FORMULA means different definition, for example, the definition of R1 in FORMULA 1 is as defined with respect to FORMULA 1 and the definition of R1 in FORMULA 6 is as defined with respect to FORMULA 6.

[0151] As used herein, when m (or n or o or p) is definited by a range, for example, "m is 0 to 15" or "m = 0-3" mean that m is an integer from 0 to 15 (i.e. m is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15) or m is an integer from 0 to 3(i.e. m is 0, 1,2, or 3) or is any integer in the defined range.

[0155] Pharmaceutical compositions typically include a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, adjuvant, or vehicle. As used herein, the phrase "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to molecular entities and compositions that are generally believed to be physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce an allergic or similar untoward reaction, such as gastric upset, dizziness and the like, when administered to a human. A pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, adjuvant, or vehicle is a substance that can be administered to a patient, together with a compound disclosed herein, and which does not compromise the pharmacological activity thereof and is nontoxic when administered in doses sufficient to deliver a therapeutic amount of the compound. Exemplary conventional nontoxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, adjuvants, and vehicles include, saline, solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like, compatible with pharmaceutical administration.

[0156] In particular, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, adjuvants, and vehicles that can be used in the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein include ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) such as d-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate, surfactants used in pharmaceutical dosage forms such as Tweens or other similar polymeric delivery matrices, serum proteins, such as human serum albumin, buffer substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes, such as protamine sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cellulose-based substances, polyethylene glycol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylates, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, polyethylene glycol and wool fat. Cyclodextrins such as α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrin, may also be advantageously used to enhance delivery of compounds of the formulae described herein.

[0157] Depending on the dosage form selected to deliver the bivalent compounds disclosed herein, different pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, adjuvants, and vehicles may be used. In the case of tablets for oral use, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, adjuvants, and vehicles may be used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried corn starch. When aqueous suspensions or emulsions are administered orally, the active ingredient may be suspended or dissolved in an oily phase is combined with emulsifying or suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring, or coloring agents can be added.

[0158] As used herein, the bivalent compounds disclosed herein are defined to include pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives or prodrugs thereof. A "pharmaceutically acceptable derivative" means any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or prodrug, e.g., carbamate, ester, phosphate ester, salt of an ester, or other derivative of a compound or agent disclosed herein, which upon administration to a recipient is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound described herein, or an active metabolite or residue thereof. Particularly favored derivatives and prodrugs are those that increase the bioavailability of the compounds disclosed herein when such compounds are administered to a subject (e.g., by allowing an orally administered compound to be more readily absorbed into the blood) or which enhance delivery of the parent compound to a biological compartment (e.g., the brain or lymphatic system) relative to the parent species. Preferred prodrugs include derivatives where a group that enhances aqueous solubility or active transport through the gut membrane is appended to the structure of formulae described herein. Such derivatives are recognizable to those skilled in the art without undue experimentation. Nevertheless, reference is made to the teaching of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery, 5th Edition, Vol. 1: Principles and Practice.

[0159] The bivalent compounds disclosed herein include pure enantiomers, mixtures of enantiomers, pure diastereoisomers, mixtures of diastereoisomers, diastereoisomeric racemates, mixtures of diastereoisomeric racemates and the meso-form and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvent complexes, morphological forms, or deuterated derivatives thereof.

[0160] The invention is defined in the appended claims, but generally, compositions can include an effective amount of one or more bivalent compounds. The terms "effective amount" and "effective to treat," as used herein, refer to an amount or a concentration of one or more compounds or a pharmaceutical composition described herein utilized for a period of time (including acute or chronic administration and periodic or continuous administration) that is effective within the context of its administration for causing an intended effect or physiological outcome (e.g., treatment or prevention of cell growth, cell proliferation, or cancer). The invention is defined in the appended claims, but generally, pharmaceutical compositions can further include one or more additional compounds, drugs, or agents used for the treatment of cancer (e.g., conventional chemotherapeutic agents) in amounts effective for causing an intended effect or physiological outcome (e.g., treatment or prevention of cell growth, cell proliferation, or cancer).

[0161] The invention is defined in the appended claims, but generally, pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be formulated for sale in the United States, import into the United States, or export from the United States.Administration of Pharmaceutical Compositions

[0162] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be formulated or adapted for administration to a subject via any route, e.g., any route approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Exemplary methods are described in the FDA Data Standards Manual (DSM) (available at http: / / www.fda.gov / Drugs / DevelopmentApprovalProce ss / FormsSubmissionRequirements / ElectronicSubmissions / DataStandardsManualmonographs). In particular, the pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for and administered via oral, parenteral, or transdermal delivery. The term "parenteral" as used herein includes subcutaneous, intracutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intraperitoneal, intra-articular, intra-arterial, intrasynovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intralesional, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques.

[0163] For example, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be administered, e.g., topically, rectally, nasally (e.g., by inhalation spray or nebulizer), buccally, vaginally, subdermally (e.g., by injection or via an implanted reservoir), or ophthalmically.

[0164] For example, pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including, capsules, tablets, emulsions and aqueous suspensions, dispersions and solutions.

[0165] For example, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These compositions can be prepared by mixing a compound disclosed herein with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at room temperature but liquid at the rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release the active components. Such materials include, cocoa butter, beeswax, and polyethylene glycols.

[0166] For example, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well-known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and can be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, or other solubilizing or dispersing agents known in the art.

[0167] For example, the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be administered by injection (e.g., as a solution or powder). Such compositions can be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents (such as, for example, Tween 80) and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, e.g., as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are mannitol, water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, e.g., olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions can also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, or carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents which are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms such as emulsions and or suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants such as Tweens, Spans, or other similar emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms can also be used for the purposes of formulation.

[0168] An effective dose of a pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein can include, e.g., about 0.00001, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, 0.35, 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 2500, 5000, or 10000 mg / kg / day, or according to the requirements of the particular pharmaceutical composition.

[0169] When the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein include a combination of the bivalent compounds described herein and one or more additional compounds (e.g., one or more additional compounds, drugs, or agents used for the treatment of cancer or any other condition or disease, including conditions or diseases known to be associated with or caused by cancer), both the bivalent compounds and the additional compounds may be present at dosage levels of between about 1 to 100%, and more preferably between about 5 to 95% of the dosage normally administered in a monotherapy regimen. The additional agents can be administered separately, as part of a multiple dose regimen, from the compounds disclosed herein.

[0177] Specific dosage and treatment regimens for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed, the age, body weight, general health status, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination, the severity and course of the disease, condition or symptoms, the patient's disposition to the disease, condition or symptoms, and the judgment of the treating physician.

[0178] An effective amount can be administered in one or more administrations, applications or dosages. A therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic compound (i.e., an effective dosage) depends on the therapeutic compounds selected. Moreover, treatment of a subject with a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds or compositions described herein can include a single treatment or a series of treatments. For example, effective amounts can be administered at least once. The compositions can be administered from one or more times per day to one or more times per week; including once every other day. The skilled artisan will appreciate that certain factors can influence the dosage and timing required to effectively treat a subject, including the severity of the disease or disorder, previous treatments, the general health or age of the subject, and other diseases present.

[0179] Following administration, the subject can be evaluated to detect, assess, or determine their level of disease. In some instances, treatment can continue until a change (e.g., reduction) in the level of disease in the subject is detected. Upon improvement of a patient's condition (e.g., a change (e.g., decrease) in the level of disease in the subject), a maintenance dose of a compound, or composition disclosed herein can be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced, e.g., as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained. Patients may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.

[0180] The present disclosure is also described and demonstrated by way of the following examples.EXAMPLES Comparative Example 1: 4-((2-Aminoethyl)amino)-2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (Linker 1)

[0181]

[0182] A solution of 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-4-fluoroisoindoline-1,3-dione (1.66 g, 6.0 mmol), tert-butyl (2-aminoethyl)carbamate (1.25 g, 6.6 mmol) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (2.32 g, 18 mmmol) in DMF (12 mL) was heated to 85 °C in a microwave reactor for 50 min. Three batches were combined and diluted with EtOAc (200 mL). The reaction was washed with water and brine. The separated organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (eluted with hexanes / EtOAc= 1:1) to give tert-butyl (2-((2-(2,6-dioxopiperidin-3-yl)-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-4-yl)amino)ethyl)carbamate (1.3 g, yield: 16%) as a yellow solid. MS (ESI) m / z = 317.1 [M-100+H] +< .
