Abstract
Description
[0001] COMPOSITION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a dimer compound for use in targeted protein degradation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The balance of protein synthesis and protein degradation is responsible for the abundance of any protein in the human body. Regulation of protein degradation has therefore, emerged as an effective method of controlling individual protein abundance in cells and is largely mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The UPS is crucial to cellular functioning and protein quality control by identifying and destroying misfolded or otherwise aberrant proteins that may be toxic to cells. Dysregulation of protein degradation pathways is the cause of many diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders and proteostatic disease. A number of protein targets that have key roles in these diseases have proven to be intractable and difficult to target using conventional small molecules. This may be due to broad active sites, shallow pockets that are difficult to occupy with small molecules or smooth surfaces that present few active sites for binding. Thus, these protein targets have remained as a great therapeutic interest. Current technologies involve proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) and click-formed proteolysis targeting chimeras (CLIPTACs). Both technologies incorporate a ligand for the target protein, a linker and an E3 ubiquitin ligase recruiting group which bring together the target protein and ubiquitinating machinery for protein degradation. However, PROTACs are pre-formed and administered as single, whole and typically large molecules, and as such, they are often poorly permeable and poorly orally bioavailable. CLIPTACs are formed by two monomer compounds that combine via a click reaction after administration. However, it is very difficult to control when and where the click reaction occurs, and as such due to the irreversible nature of the bond formed, CLIPTACs often self-assemble extracellularly, and may fail to enter cells and degrade the target protein. To facilitate this, the two monomer CLIPTACs are administered separately and sequentially with a sufficient time gap between administrations to ensure high enough delivery to the target tissue and followed by cell penetration so that significant quantities of monomer are present intracellularly in the target cell before dimer formation to become functionally active. Therefore, the utilities and administration methods (particularly oral administration) of PROTACs and CLIPTACs are limited from a therapeutic treatment perspective and there exists a need for a novel and effective technology with improved cell permeability and bioavailability (particularly orally) properties. The patent applications WO2022 / 031772 and WO2022 / 031774 disclose therapeutic compositions primarily comprising two precursor monomers that in principle, are expected to form a dimer in vivo for targeted degradation of BET domain proteins. These applications aim to address the above problems by administration of individual monomers which bind reversibly to form a heterodimer which can subsequently bind to their targets once inside the cell. However, administration as two precursor monomers as a therapeutic product, either given separately, sequentially, or simultaneously is a suboptimal solution due to more complex drug product administration, management and supply chain, increased manufacturing and packaging costs. The drug substance and formulated solid product may also be more stable stored as the dimer. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention addresses the above problems by providing a preformed heterobifunctional dimer which is reversible. Due to the reversible nature of the bonds, the dimer compound will dissociate into monomers in vitro and in vivo, allowing them to enter cells, and then re-form as the dimer within the cell to then bind to target proteins and elicit ubiquitination and consequent proteasomal degradation of a target protein. Synthesizing and purifying a single compound for pharmaceutical use is more efficient, cost-effective and easier to gain regulatory approval than two monomer compounds. Dimer compositions of the present invention have been shown to be effective in eliciting ubiquitination and protein degradation as shown by the in vitro assays in the Examples. Accordingly, in a first aspect of the invention there is a method of manufacturing a dimer compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein the dimer compound comprises: a. a first portion comprising a target protein ligand that binds to an intracellular target protein; b. a second portion comprising a ligand that binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase; and c. a linker portion covalently coupling the first and second portions; wherein the linker portion comprises reversible covalent boronic ester bonds, the method comprising the step of: i. reacting a first compound comprising the first portion and a second compound comprising the second portion, wherein the first and second compounds further comprise one of and different functional groups selected from a boronic acid derivative and a diol, ii. isolating, and optionally characterising, the dimer compound. In a second aspect of the invention there is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a dimer compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, and optionally a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the dimer compound comprises: a. a first portion comprising a target protein ligand that binds to an intracellular target protein; b. a second portion comprising a ligand that binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase; and c. a linker portion covalently coupling the first and second portions; wherein the linker portion comprises reversible covalent boronic ester bonds; wherein the composition comprises substantially no monomer compound, wherein the monomer compound comprises: d. the first portion or the second portion; and e. a boronic acid derivative or a diol functional group. In a third aspect of the invention there is a method of treating a disease comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition of the second aspect or the dimer compound obtained by the first aspect, wherein the disease is selected from cancer, neurological disorders, hepatitis, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, autoimmunity, restenosis, stroke, heart failure, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AIDS, ischemia such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, cerebral ischemia / reperfusion (l / R) injury, acute and chronic CNS injury ischemia, stroke or myocardial infarction, degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue disorders, inflammatory diseases or proteostatic disease. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Unless indicated otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein will have their common meaning as understood by one of ordinary skills in the art to which this invention pertains. The present invention relates to synthesizing dimer compounds and their utility in a pharmaceutical composition comprising, such as consisting of, said dimer compound and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient for use in protein degradation. As such, the dimers and compositions have utility in the treatment of diseases. The dimer compound comprises a reversible covalent bond formed between two monomers and is capable of eliciting ubiquitination and subsequent protein degradation when delivered intracellularly. In the first aspect of the invention there is a method of manufacturing a dimer compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof as outlined in the summary of invention. “Different functional groups” means that the first and second compounds have complementary functional groups selected from those listed (boronic acid derivative and diol). For example, if the first compound comprises the boronic acid derivative functional group, then the second compound must comprise the diol functional group. Alternatively, if the first compound comprises the diol functional group, then the second compound must comprise the boronic acid derivative functional group. As such, during the reaction of step (i) the first and second compound will react and form reversible boronic ester bonds via the boronic acid derivative and diol functional groups. Suitably the reaction of step (i) of the first and second compounds occurs in an organic solvent, under dehydrating conditions, optionally using 4A molecular sieves. Typical polar solvents include pyridine, THF, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, acetone and DMF. Preferably the solvent is THF. Suitably the reaction of step (i) of the first and second compounds occurs in a reaction vessel. Reaction vessels are well-known in the art, (e.g., flasks, beakers, test tubes, vials, and other such containers). The term “isolating” is known in the field to refer to separating a substance from a mixture. The term "characterising” is known in the field to refer to methods used to identify or quantify chemicals or materials, or to characterize their physical properties. Suitably the dimer compound is in the form of a solid, such as a powder. Suitably the reaction of step (i) of the first and second compounds occurs at a temperature of between 10 and 100 τC, preferably between 10 and 80 τC, more preferably between 10 and 60 τC, for example between 15 and 45 τC, such as between 15 and 35 τC, preferably between 20 and 30 τC. The first and second compounds require time to react. As such, suitably the step (i) occurs for at least 10 hours, preferably at least 12 hours, more preferably at least 14 hours. Suitably the method further comprises the step of purifying the isolated dimer compound. Such purification may be done by one or more of well-known techniques in the field such as washing, filtering, and chromatography. In another embodiment there is the dimer compound obtainable by the aforementioned method of the first aspect. Said dimer compound may be for use as a medicament. Specifically, in another embodiment, said dimer compound is for use in the treatment or prevention of cancer, neurological disorders, hepatitis, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, autoimmunity, restenosis, stroke, heart failure, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AIDS, ischemia such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, cerebral ischemia / reperfusion (l / R) injury, acute and chronic CNS injury ischemia, stroke or myocardial infarction, degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue disorders, inflammatory diseases or proteostatic disease. Suitably the method further comprises the step of mixing the isolated or purified dimer compound with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient to make a pharmaceutical composition. Suitably an effective amount of the dimer compound is in the formed pharmaceutical composition. Suitably the method further comprises the step of processing the isolated or purified dimer compound into an orally administrable form, for example, compressing into a tablet or pellet, or encapsulating within a capsule. The term “comprises” or “comprising” will take its usual meaning in the art, namely indicating that the component includes but is not limited to the relevant features (i.e. including, among other things). As such, the term “comprises” will include references to the component consisting essentially of (such as consisting of) the relevant features. The term “consists of” or “consisting” will take its usual meaning in the art, namely indicating that the component includes and is limited to the relevant features. The term “comprises substantially no” indicates that the composition comprises an insignificant amount of the named feature. Suitably, the composition comprises less than 5 wt% of the named feature, preferably less than 4 wt%, more preferably less than 3 wt%, more preferably less than 2 wt%, most preferably less than 1 wt%. For example, “a composition comprising substantially no monomer” means that the composition comprises less than 5 wt%, preferably less than 4 wt%, more preferably less than 3 wt%, more preferably less than 2 wt%, most preferably less than 1 wt% of monomer. Where appropriate, the following definitions and embodiments apply to both the dimer (or pharmaceutical composition) manufactured via the first aspect and the pharmaceutical composition of the second aspect. Suitably, the pharmaceutical composition comprises substantially no second dimer compound. Suitably, the composition comprises less than 5 wt%, preferably less than 4 wt%, more preferably less than 3 wt%, even more preferably less than 2 wt%, most preferably less than 1 wt% of a second dimer compound. The term “dimer” or “dimer compound” refers to a molecular complex comprising two molecules (“monomers”) bonded together via the linker portion. The dimers of the present invention are bifunctional, i.e., they bind to targets and elicit protein degradation. The term “monomer” or “monomer compound” refers to a molecule that can bind to another molecule to form a dimer. In the present invention, the monomer comprises a target protein ligand that binds to an intracellular target protein or a ligand that binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase, and one of a boronic acid derivative or a diol functional group. The term “linker portion” (or “linker”) refers to a flexible or conformational restricted chain or a series of atoms that is used to link two molecules (i.e., the “monomers” defined above) of interest together by reversible, chemical bonds. This linker portion is central in the dimer linking the two “monomers” together, rather than at the outer parts of the dimer that bind to the target protein or an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The linker is of a length appropriate to bring together the target protein and the ubiquitinating ligase and thereby elicit the ubiquitination of the protein of interest and its subsequent degradation. It is therefore to be understood that the linker serves as a spacer, physically separating the target protein and ligase ligands to a degree sufficient to ensure that binding with their respective targets when as a dimer is not rendered mutually exclusive as a result of steric inhibition. In the absence of a linker, or if the linker is too short, the interaction between the target and ligase ligands of the dimer and their respective targets could be disrupted. However, it will also be understood that the linker should also not be too long, since in such cases the bound E3 ligase might not be in sufficiently close spatial proximity to the target protein to trigger its ubiquitination. Those skilled in the art will therefore appreciate that the length of the linker is preferably optimized by reference inter alia to target and E3 ligase binding efficiency as well as target protein ubiquitination. In some embodiments, the linker may be 5-25 bonds in length, for example 5-20, 5-19, 5- 18, 5-17, 5-16, 5-15, 5-14, 5-13, 5-12, 5-11, 5-10, 5-9, 5-8, 5-7 or 5-6 bonds in length. In other embodiments, the linker may be 5-25 bonds in length, for example 6-25, 7-25, 8-25, 9-25, 10-25, 11-25, 12-25, 13-25, 14-25, 15-25, 16-25, 17-25, 18-25, 18-25, 19-25 or 20- 25 bonds in length. The term “reversible” refers to bonds formed via a reversible chemical reaction in which the reactants react to form the products and simultaneously the products again form the reactants. Specifically, the term “reversible covalent boronic ester bonds” refers to bonds formed as a result of the reaction between a boronic acid derivative and a diol which can dissociate back to form the reactants. For example, the dimer of the invention may dissociate into the two monomers (e.g., in vivo) used to form said dimer. The boronic ester bonds (i.e., Boron-Oxygen) are well-known in the field and recognised by the following general formula: The term “treatment” or “treating” as used herein, refers to therapeutic (curative) treatment including amelioration. Treatment also includes stopping the disease from developing or slowing further progression of the disease. For example, treatment may include preventing symptoms from worsening. The term “prevention” as used herein, refers to prophylaxis treatment i.e., action taken to prevent disease. Suitably the pharmaceutical composition comprises an effective amount of the dimer compound. As used herein, an "effective amount" of a compound or composition defines an amount that can be administered to a subject without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio, but one that is sufficient to provide the desired effect, e.g., the treatment or prophylaxis manifested by a permanent or temporary improvement in the subject's condition. The amount will vary from subject to subject, depending on the age and general condition of the individual, mode of administration and other factors. Thus, while it is not possible to specify an exact effective amount, those skilled in the art will be able to determine an appropriate "effective" amount in any individual case using routine experimentation and background general knowledge. A therapeutic result in this context includes eradication or lessening of symptoms, reduced pain or discomfort, prolonged survival, improved mobility and other markers of clinical improvement. A therapeutic result need not be a complete cure. A "pharmaceutical composition" is a solid or liquid composition in a form, concentration and level of purity suitable for administration to a patient (e.g., a human or animal patient) upon which administration it can elicit the desired physiological changes.

Preferably the pharmaceutical composition is in a solid form. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” refers to any diluent, carrier or excipient, such as fillers or binders, that is compatible with the other ingredients of the composition, and which is not deleterious to the recipient. The pharmaceutically acceptable excipient can be selected on the basis of the desired route of administration, in accordance with standard pharmaceutical practices. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases including inorganic acids and bases and organic acids and bases. Pharmaceutically acceptable acids include both inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, diphosphoric, hydrobromic or nitric acid and organic acids such as citric, fumaric, maleic, malic, ascorbic, succinic, tartaric, benzoic, acetic, methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, salicylic, stearic, benzenesulfonic or p-toluenesulfonic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable bases include alkali metal (e.g. sodium or potassium) and alkali earth metal (e.g. calcium or magnesium) hydroxides and organic bases such as alkyl amines, aryl amines or heterocyclic amines. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug” as used herein refers to a biologically inactive compound which can be metabolized in the body to produce a drug. Suitably, the dimer is administered in the form of a prodrug which is converted to the active form during absorption in the body. Suitably the dimer prodrug of the present invention is an ester, carbonate, carbamate, amide, phosphate or oxime prodrug. The term “ubiquitination” refers to an enzymatic process, wherein a ubiquitin protein binds to a target protein intracellular, leading to consequent degradation of the target protein via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. The term “protein degradation” or “proteasomal degradation” refers to the degradation of unnecessary, abnormal and targeted proteins. The accumulation of these proteins is implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases. The terms “patient” and “subject” are used interchangeably and refer to a subject of treatment or prevention with the pharmaceutical composition comprising a dimer compound. Preferably, the subject is human. The term “halo” or “halogen” as used herein refers to fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Preferably the halo is fluorine. The term “alkyl” as used herein refers to an aliphatic hydrocarbon group, which may be straight or branched, missing at least one hydrogen such that a bonding position is available, i.e., an alkyl group, such as a C1-C8-alkyl group, preferably C1-C4-alkyl group, such as a C1- C2-alkyl group. Examples include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and t-butyl. It may be monovalent, e.g., propyl, or divalent, e.g. propylene. A monovalent alkyl group may also be described by -CnH2n+1 and a divalent alkyl group may also be described by –(CH2)n-, where n is independently selected from 1 to 8 for each substituent if not specified herein. As used herein “haloalkyl” means an alkyl group as defined above which is substituted with up to 8 halogen atoms or more preferably up to 4 halogens. For example, they may be substituted by 1, 2, 3 or 4 halogen atoms. Preferably, the halogen is fluorine. Preferably the haloalkyl is selected from –CF3, –CHF2, and –CH2F. The term “cycloalkyl” refers to an aliphatic (i.e., non-aromatic) alkyl as defined above in the form of a monocyclic or multi-cyclic ring system, preferably of 5 to about 10 carbon atoms, preferably 5 or 6 carbons.

The term “aryl” as used herein refers to an aromatic monocyclic or multi-cyclic ring system, preferably of 5 to about 10 carbon atoms, preferably 5 or 6 carbons. Preferably the aryl (or “aromatic ring”) is a monocyclic, such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene or xylene. The term “heteroaryl” is an aryl as defined above, in which one or more of the carbons in the ring system is substituted with nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur, such as pyridine, oxazole, isoxazole, triazole or thiophene. The alkyls, haloalkyls, cycloalkyls, heterocycloalkyls, aryls and heteroaryls defined above may not be substituted or may be substituted i.e., one or more (preferably one or two, such as one) of the hydrogen atoms may be independently substituted, preferably with a single alternative atom or a small molecular group, preferably an alkyl, haloalkyl, halo, preferably alkyl or halo. Suitably, the dimer compound comprises reversible covalent boronic ester bonds formed from the reaction between a boronic acid derivative and a diol, such as a boronic acid and a diol. Any suitable boronic acid derivative may be utilised in the invention to form the dimer. It is understood in the field that a boronic acid derivative is a compound comprising the functional group -B(OH)(OR) (in other words, one Boron atom bonded to both an OH and to an OR). It will also be understood in the context of the invention and the description that the boronic acid derivatives utilised in the invention will react with a diol to form reversible covalent boronic ester bonds. Preferably, the boronic acid derivative is a boronic acid. It is known and understood that boronic acids have the general formula -R-B(OH)2. It will be understood to the skilled person that the descriptions herein and above for the boronic acids refers to the R group of this formula, for example, the “aryl boronic acid” means that the R group of the general boronic acid formula is an aryl group. It will also be understood in the context of the invention and the description that this boronic acid moiety is at the terminus of one of the monomers and its linker, therefore the R group is also connected to the remainder of the monomer. In particular, the boronic acid derivative is selected from the list consisting of an alkyl boronic acid, haloalkyl boronic acid, cycloalkyl boronic acid, heterocycloalkyl boronic acid, aryl boronic acid, and a heteroaryl boronic acid. Preferably, the boronic acid is an aryl boronic acid or an alkyl boronic acid. Suitably, the dimer compound comprises reversible covalent boronic ester bonds formed from the reaction between a boronic acid derivative and a diol. Any suitable diol may be utilised in the invention to form the dimer. Suitably the skilled person will appreciate that the two alcohol groups need to be in close proximity to each other in order to both react with the boronic acid derivative, i.e., the diol is a cis-1,2-diol, 1,3-diol, preferably a cis-1,2-diol. Suitably the diol is an aromatic diol or an aliphatic diol, preferably an aliphatic diol. Suitably the aromatic diol is an aryl diol or a heteroaryl diol. Preferably the aliphatic diol is an alkyl diol, a cycloalkyl diol, a heterocycloalkyl diol. The cycloalkyl and heterocycloalkyl diols may be bridged cyclics, for example the diol may be cis-1,2-pinanediol or cis-2,3-norbornanediol. “Bridged” is known in the field to mean a bicyclic molecule in which a one or more atoms spans (bridges) another ring of atoms. It is known and understood that diols have the general formula -R-(OH)2. In the present invention the R group comprises at least two carbon atoms and preferably the two OH groups are attached to two different adjacent carbon atoms. It will be understood to the skilled person that the description above for the diols refers to the R group of this formula, for example, the “cycloalkyl diol” means that the R group of the general diol formula is a cycloalkyl group. It will also be understood in the context of the invention and the description that this diol moiety is at the terminus of one of the monomers, therefore the R group is also connected to the remainder of the monomer and its linker. The term "ligand" as used herein defines a binding partner for a biological target molecule in vivo (for example, an enzyme or receptor). The ligands for use according to the invention are preferably small molecules that can be functionalized by the addition of a bioorthogonal click reactive moiety via a linker. The term “small molecule” as used herein refers to a molecule with a low molecular weight, such as less than 900 Daltons, preferably less than 700 Daltons, more preferably less than 600 Daltons. Suitably, the target protein ligand of the first portion is non-peptidic, preferably a small molecule. Suitably, the target protein ligand of the first portion comprises a peptide, preferably an oligopeptide. As used herein, the term "peptide" defines organic compounds comprising two or more amino acids covalently joined by peptide bonds. The corresponding adjectival term “peptidic” is to be interpreted accordingly. Peptides may be referred to with respect to the number of constituent amino acids, i.e., a dipeptide contains two amino acid residues, a tripeptide contains three, etc. Peptides containing ten or fewer amino acids may be referred to as oligopeptides, while those with more than ten amino acid residues are polypeptides.

Suitably, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a dimer compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein the dimer compound is capable of eliciting ubiquitination and consequent proteasomal degradation of the target protein. Suitably, the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may be useful in the treatment of a wide range of diseases where protein knockdown is indicated. Such diseases include proteostatic diseases and diseases arising from undesired intracellular protein activity (for example, in the treatment of cancer, where the target protein may be an oncoprotein). As such, suitably, the pharmaceutical compositions is for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease such as cancer, neurological disorders, hepatitis, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, autoimmunity, restenosis, stroke, heart failure, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington's disease, myotonic dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AIDS, ischemia such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, cerebral ischemia / reperfusion (l / R) injury, acute and chronic CNS injury ischemia, stroke or myocardial infarction, degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue disorders, inflammatory diseases or proteostatic disease. As used herein, the term “neurological disorders” are diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, including but not limited to epilepsy, neuromuscular disorders, autism, ADD, brain tumors, and cerebral palsy. As used herein, the term "proteostatic disease" is used to define a set of diseases mediated, at least in part, by deficiencies in proteostasis. The term therefore covers aggregative and misfolding proteostatic diseases, including in particular neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's disease). The skilled practitioner would understand that the compound of the invention is formulated as a pharmaceutical composition comprising a dimer compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In one embodiment, the dimer compound is the only active agent in the composition. By only active agent, it is meant that the composition does not contain other components which may be used in the treatment of diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders and proteostatic disease. Alternatively, the dimer may be used in combination with a second active agent which works via a different mechanism or has a different structure as the dimer but is targeting the same disease. As such, in one embodiment the pharmaceutical composition comprises said second active agent. Suitably, the dimer or pharmaceutical composition comprising a dimer compound and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is used in a method of selectively inducing the degradation of an intracellular target protein in vivo; and / or selectively inhibiting the activity of an intracellular target protein in vivo; and / or selectively ubiquitinating an intracellular target protein in vivo; and / or selectively targeting an intracellular target protein for degradation by the endogenous ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) in vivo. In the present invention, the dimer or pharmaceutical composition may be administered in a variety of dosage forms. In one embodiment, the composition may be formulated in a format suitable for oral, rectal, parenteral, intranasal or transdermal administration or administration by inhalation or by suppository. Preferably, the dimer or pharmaceutical composition is administered orally, for example as a tablet, aqueous or oily suspension. Preferably, the composition is formulated such that it is suitable for oral administration, for example as a tablet or capsule. Tablets and capsules may be prepared with binding agents, for example, syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, celluloses or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, such as lactose, sucrose, corn starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol, or glycine; lubricants, such as magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, or silica; and surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. Liquid compositions may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, for example sorbitol syrup, methyl cellulose, sugar syrup, gelatin, carboxymethyl-cellulose, or edible fats; emulsifying agents and surfactants such as lecithin, or acacia; vegetable oils such as almond oil, coconut oil, cod liver oil, or peanut oil; preservatives such as butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Liquid compositions may be encapsulated in, for example, gelatin to provide a unit dosage form. In a preferred embodiment, the dimer or pharmaceutical composition is formulated as a solid in order to maintain the improved stability of the dimer compound. In the third aspect of the invention there is a method of treating or preventing a disease comprising administering a dimer or pharmaceutical composition of the first or second aspects, wherein the disease is selected from cancer, neurological disorders, hepatitis, ulcerative colitis, gastritis, autoimmunity, restenosis, stroke, heart failure, neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, myotonic dystrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, AIDS, ischemia such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, cerebral ischemia, cerebral ischemia / reperfusion (l / R) injury, acute and chronic CNS injury ischemia, stroke or myocardial infarction, degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, connective tissue disorders, inflammatory diseases or proteostatic disease. This aspect may have any of the features described above for the first aspect. Suitably an effective amount of the dimer compound is administered. This method of treating or preventing may have any of the features described above for the first and second aspects. There is also provided a use of the dimer of the first aspect for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of the diseases of the third aspect.

Xenograft Study MV4-11 tumor cell lines were maintained in vitro as a suspension in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PS at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2. At ^5 passages, cells growing in an exponential growth phase were harvested and counted for tumor inoculation. BALB / c nude female mice (6 weeks old, 19-21g) were inoculated subcutaneously on the right flank with 10^7 tumor cells (100ul in matrigel). All study animals were monitored for mobility, food and water consumption, body weight, physical appearance and any other abnormal effects. Once tumors reached 250 - 400 mm3, mice were randomly assigned to groups of N=10. Treatments were formulated as a solution in either 20% HP-ǃ-CD in water or 80% PEG 400 in saline and administered either i.p. (5μl / g) or subcut (10μl / g). Dose and frequency of the treatment are outlined in the figure legend. At the end of the study, animals were euthanised by carbon dioxide followed by cervical dislocation to ensure death. 30-60 NjL of whole blood was collected into tubes containing anticoagulant with plasma harvested by centrifugation at 4,000 g x 5 min and stored at -80°C until further analysis. Tumor samples were cut into two pieces and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at - 80°C until analysis. A compound of the invention has been found to be active in this xenograft study, as such, other compounds of the invention are also expected to be active. Western Blot Tumor samples were cut into small pieces and washed with PBS and then homogenized using a Dounce homogeniser or a tissue grinder. Tissues were lysed on ice in a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein extraction buffer and centrifuged at maximum speed (~16000 xg). Supernatants were then stored at -800C until further use. 20ug of protein was loaded on to the gel and run at 120V. Proteins were then transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a Transblot (0.3A, 1.5h). After transfer, the membrane was blocked for 1hr at room temperature before incubation with the primary antibody (Anti-Brd3 antibody Abcam Ab50818 or Recombinant Anti-Brd4 antibody Abcam Ab128874) overnight at 4oC. The membranes were then washed 6 times with TBS-tween and incubated for 1 hour with a secondary antibody. Densitometry of the proteins bands was analysed by Image Studio. Conclusions A range of dimer compounds have been synthesized using linkers of varying size, structurally varied target protein ligands that bind to different intracellular target proteins (e.g., BRD4, BTK and AR) and structurally varied ligands that bind to different E3 ubiquitin ligases (e.g., CRBN, and VHL). The exemplified dimer compounds also show that the boronic acid derivative and the diol portions may be attached to either of the ligands. The assays show that the compounds demonstrate effective target protein degradation. As such, it is expected that the exemplified platform technology may be applied widely to other target proteins and ligases for the treatment and prevention of various diseases.
