[0003] Field of Invention This description provides imide compounds, bifunctional compounds containing them, and related methods of use. The bifunctional compounds are useful as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, particularly with respect to various polypeptides and other proteins that are degraded and / or otherwise inhibited by the bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. [Background technology]
[0004] background Most small molecule drugs bind to enzymes or receptors in tight, clearly defined pockets. Protein-protein interactions, on the other hand, are extremely difficult to target with small molecules due to the large contact surface and shallow grooves or flat interfaces of proteins. E3 ubiquitin ligases (hundreds of which are known in humans) provide substrate specificity for ubiquitination and, therefore, due to their specificity to their particular protein substrates, are more attractive therapeutic targets than general proteasome inhibitors. The development of ligands for E3 ligases has proven difficult, partly because it inevitably disrupts protein-protein interactions. However, recent developments have provided specific ligands that bind to these ligases. For example, since the discovery of Nutrin, the first small molecule E3 ligase inhibitor, further compounds targeting E3 ligases have been reported, although this field is still developing.
[0005] One type of E3 ligase with potential therapeutic properties is the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor. VHL contains a substrate recognition subunit / E3 ligase complex VCB (which includes elongin B and C), as well as a complex containing karin-2 and Rbx1. The main substrate of VHL is hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), a transcription factor that upregulates genes such as pro-angiogenic growth factor VEGF and erythropoietin in response to hypoxic levels. The inventors believe VHL may be used in cancer, chronic anemia, and ischemia. 2 We created the first von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) small molecule ligand for VCB, the substrate recognition subunit of E3 ligase, a key target of VHL, and obtained its crystal structure, confirming that the compound mimics the binding mode of the transcription factor HIF-1α, the main substrate of VHL.
[0006] Cereblon is a protein encoded by the CRBN gene in humans. CRBN homologous species are highly conserved from plants to humans, highlighting its physiological importance. Cereblon forms an E3 ubiquitin ligase complex with DNA damage binding protein 1 (DDB1), karin-4A (CUL4A), and karin regulator 1 (ROC1). This complex ubiquitinates numerous other proteins. While the mechanism is not yet fully understood, ubiquitination of target proteins by cereblon leads to increased levels of fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF8) and fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10). FGF8 then regulates numerous developmental processes, such as limb and auditory vesicle formation. The ultimate consequence is that this ubiquitin ligase complex is crucial for limb elongation in the embryo. In the absence of cereblon, DDB1 forms a complex with DDB2, which functions as a DNA damage binding protein.
[0007] Thalidomide has been approved for the treatment of numerous immunological conditions, and is also approved for the treatment of certain neoplastic diseases, including multiple myeloma. Thalidomide and several of its analogues are currently being studied for use in the treatment of various other types of cancer in addition to multiple myeloma. Although the exact mechanism of thalidomide's antitumor activity is still being elucidated, it is known to inhibit angiogenesis. Recent literature considering the biology of this imide compound includes Lu et al., Science 343, 305 (2014) (Non-patent Literature 1) and Kronke et al., Science 343, 301 (2014) (Non-patent Literature 2).
[0008] Significantly, thalidomide and its analogs, such as pomalidomide and lenalidomide, are known to bind to cereblon. These agonists bind to cereblon and alter the specificity of the complex, inducing ubiquitination and degradation of Ikaros (IKZF1) and Aiolos (IKZF3), transcription factors essential for multiple myeloma proliferation. In fact, a correlation has been observed where higher cereblon expression is associated with increased efficacy of imide drugs in the treatment of multiple myeloma.
[0009] There is a continuing demand for effective treatments of diseases, particularly hyperplasia and cancer, such as multiple myeloma. However, nonspecific effects and the inability to target and modulate specific classes of proteins, such as transcription factors, remain barriers to the development of effective anticancer drugs. Therefore, small molecule therapeutics that leverage or enhance the substrate specificity of cereblon, while simultaneously being "modulatory" to specifically target and modulate a wide range of protein classes, would be extremely useful as therapeutic agents.

[0011] This disclosure relates to a bifunctional compound that functions to recruit and degrade endogenous proteins into E3 ubiquitin ligases, and to methods of using the same. More specifically, this disclosure provides a bifunctional, or proteolytically targeted, chimeric (PROTAC) compound, which, as described herein, finds useful as a modulator of targeted ubiquitination of various polypeptides and other proteins that are degraded and / or otherwise inhibited by the bifunctional compound. The advantage of the compounds provided herein is that they enable a broad range of pharmacological activity, consistent with selective polypeptide degradation / inhibition from virtually any protein class or family. This disclosure also provides methods of using the compounds as described herein in effective amounts for the treatment or remission of disease conditions such as cancer, e.g., multiple myeloma.
[0012] Accordingly, in one embodiment, the present disclosure provides novel imide compounds as described herein.
[0013] In a further embodiment, the present disclosure provides a bifunctional, or PROTAC, compound comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety (i.e., an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand or "ULM" group) and a target protein-binding moiety (i.e., a protein / polypeptide target-directed ligand or "PTM" group) such that the target protein / polypeptide is positioned in close proximity to the ubiquitin ligase, resulting in the degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. In a preferred embodiment, the ULM is a cerebron E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety (i.e., "CLM"). For example, the structure of a bifunctional compound is as follows: This can be shown as in TIFF2026094376000002.tif10128.
[0014] The arrangements and numbers of the PTM and CLM portions as shown herein are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the compounds in any way. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, the bifunctional compounds described herein can be synthesized by changing the number and arrangement of each functional portion as desired.
[0015] In certain embodiments, the bifunctional compound further comprises a chemical linker ("L"). In this case, the structure of the bifunctional compound is as follows: As shown in TIFF2026094376000003.tif10128, in the figure, PTM is the protein / polypeptide target-directed portion, L is the linker, and CLM is the cerebron E3 ubiquitin ligase binding portion.
[0016] In certain preferred embodiments, the E3 ubiquitin ligase is cereblon. Therefore, in certain further embodiments, the bifunctional compound CLM comprises chemical groups such as imide, amide, thioamide, and thioimide-derived moieties.

[0018] In further embodiments, this description provides therapeutic compositions comprising an effective amount of the compound or a salt thereof as described herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The therapeutic compositions modulate proteolysis in patients or subjects, such as animals such as humans, and can therefore be used to treat or induce remission of disease conditions or symptoms regulated through proteolytic proteins. In certain embodiments, the therapeutic compositions as described herein may be used to achieve the degradation of a target protein for the treatment or remission of a disease, such as cancer. In yet another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for ubiquitination / degradation of a target protein in cells. In a particular embodiment, the method comprises administering a bifunctional compound as described herein, comprising CLM and PTM, preferably linked via a linker moiety, as described herein, wherein the CLM is coupled with PTM such that degradation of the target protein occurs when the target protein is located in close proximity to the ubiquitin ligase, resulting in inhibition of the degradation / effect of the target protein and control of protein levels; the CLM recognizes a ubiquitin pathway protein (e.g., ubiquitin ligase, preferably E3 ubiquitin ligase, e.g., cereblon); and the PTM recognizes the target protein. The control of protein levels provided by the present invention offers treatment of a disease condition or symptom regulated through the target protein by reducing its level in the patient's cells.
[0019] In a further embodiment, this description provides a method for assessing (i.e., determining and / or measuring) the binding affinity of CLM. In a particular embodiment, the method includes providing a test agent or compound of interest, e.g., an imide moiety, e.g., a phthalimide group, a phthalimidoglutarimide group, a derivatized thalidomide, a derivatized lenalidomide, or a derivatized pomalidomide, and comparing the cereblon binding affinity and / or inhibitory activity of the test agent or compound with an agent or compound known to bind to and / or inhibit the activity of cereblon.
[0020] In yet another embodiment, this description provides a method for treating or relieving a disease, disorder, or symptom thereof in a subject or patient, such as an animal such as a human, the method comprising administering to a subject in need of such a method a composition comprising a compound or salt thereof as described herein in an effective amount, for example, a therapeutically effective amount, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, the composition being effective in treating or relieving a disease, disorder, or symptom thereof in the subject.
[0021] In another embodiment, this description provides a method for identifying the effect of compounds according to the present invention on the degradation of a target protein in a biological system.
[0022] The general scope of application described above is illustrative only and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure and the appended claims. Further objectives and advantages relating to the compositions, methods, and processes of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of this claim, description, and examples. For example, various aspects and embodiments of the present invention may be used in numerous combinations, all of which are clearly considered in this description. Such further advantages, objectives, and embodiments are clearly included within the scope of the present invention. To illustrate the background of the present invention and, in special cases, to provide further details relating to the implementation of the invention, the documents and other materials used herein are incorporated by reference. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0023] The accompanying drawings, incorporated herein and forming part thereof, illustrate several embodiments of the present invention and, together with the description, serve to illustrate the principles of the present invention. The drawings are for illustrative purposes only of embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention. Further objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings illustrating exemplary embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] [Figure 1] Examples of the general principles of PROTAC function. (A) The example PROTAC includes a protein targeting moiety (PTM; dark square), a ubiquitin ligase binding moiety (ULM; light triangle), and an optional linker moiety (L; black line) that couples or links the PTM with the ULM. (B) Examples of the functional use of PROTAC as described herein. Briefly, the ULM recognizes and binds to a specific E3 ubiquitin ligase, and the PTM binds to a target protein and recruits it to the immediate vicinity of the E3 ubiquitin ligase. Typically, the E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes with an E2 ubiquitin-binding protein and, either alone or via the E2 protein, catalyzes ubiquitin (dark circle) binding to lysine via isopeptide bonds on the target protein. The polyubiquitinated protein (far right) is then targeted for degradation by the cellular proteasome mechanism. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0025] Detailed explanation The following detailed description will assist those skilled in the art in carrying out the invention. Those skilled in the art can modify and alter the embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure. All references, patent applications, patents, drawings, and other references made herein are expressed herein by reference in their entirety.
[0026] This specification describes compositions and methods relating to the unexpected and surprising discovery that an E3 ubiquitin ligase protein, such as cereblon, and a target protein are positioned in close proximity by a bifunctional, i.e., chimeric construct that links the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein and the target protein, and that the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein then ubiquitinates the target protein. Accordingly, the present invention provides such compounds and compositions comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety ("ULM") coupled to a protein target binding moiety ("PTM"), such compounds and compositions result in ubiquitination of a selected target protein, resulting in the degradation of the target protein by the proteasome (see Figure 1). The present invention also provides a library of compositions and their uses.
[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The terminology used in this description is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0028] When a range of values is presented, naturally, unless explicitly specified in the context (for example, in the case of a group containing the number of carbon atoms, in such a case the number of carbon atoms within that range is presented), each value between the upper and lower limits of that range and any other specified or existing values within that range is included in the present invention, up to a unit of one-tenth of the lower limit. These upper and lower limits of narrower ranges may independently be included in narrower ranges, and these narrower ranges are also included in the present invention and are subject to any limit values that are specifically excluded in the specified range. If the specified range includes one or both of the limit values, ranges that do not include one or both of those limit values are also included in the present invention.
[0029] The following terms will be used to describe the present invention. If a term is not specifically defined herein, it will be given the meaning that is recognized in the art to those skilled in the art in the context in which it is used in the description of the present invention.
[0030] The articles “a” and “an,” when used herein and in the appended claims, indicate that the grammatical object of the article is one or more (i.e., at least one), unless otherwise explicitly stated in the context. For example, “an element” means one or more elements.
[0031] When used in this specification and in the appended claims, the phrase "and / or" naturally means "one or both" of the elements that are thus connected; that is, the elements may be contiguous in some cases and separate in others. Similarly, when multiple elements are listed with "and / or," they should be considered as "one or more" of the elements that are thus connected. Other elements other than those specifically identified by the "and / or" clause may be present at their discretion. For example, and not as an exclusionary statement, when used in conjunction with non-restrictive terms such as "comprising," one embodiment may indicate only A (including elements other than B at their discretion); another embodiment may indicate only B (including elements other than A at their discretion); and yet another embodiment may indicate both A and B (including other elements at their discretion).
[0032] Where used herein and in the appended claims, “or” naturally has the same meaning as “and / or” as defined above. For example, when items are separated in an enumeration, “or” or “and / or” should be interpreted as inclusive, that is, including at least one of the multiple or enumerated elements and any additional items not enumerated by choice, but including more than one. Only terms explicitly indicated to the contrary, such as “only one of” or “exactly one of” or “consisting of” when used in a claim, indicate that it includes exactly one of the multiple or enumerated elements. In general, where used herein, the term “or” should be interpreted as indicating an exclusive choice (i.e., “one or the other, but not both”) only when preceded by terms of exclusivity, such as “either,” “one of,” “only,” or “exactly one.”
[0033] In the claims and in the above specification, all transitional phrases such as “comprising,” “including,” “carrying,” “having,” “containing,” “involving,” “holding,” and “composed of” are, naturally, non-restrictive, meaning they include but are not limited to the object. Only the transitional phrases “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of” are supposed to be restrictive or semi-restrictive, respectively, as specified in the United States Patent Office Manual of Patent Examining Procedures, Section 2111.03.
[0034] As used herein and in the appended claims, the phrase “at least one” in relation to an enumeration of one or more elements naturally refers to at least one element selected from any one or more elements in that enumeration, but does not necessarily include at least one of each individual element specifically enumerated in the enumeration, nor does it exclude any combination of elements in the enumeration. This definition also allows for the optional presence of elements other than those specifically identified in the enumeration of elements to which the phrase “at least one” refers, whether or not they are related to the specifically identified elements. In other words, it is not limiting, but for example, “at least one of A and B” (or equivalently “at least one of A or B” or equivalently “at least one of A and / or B”) could, in one embodiment, indicate at least one A, including optionally multiple cases, but without B (and optionally include elements other than B); in another embodiment, indicate at least one B, including optionally multiple cases, but without A (and optionally include elements other than A); and in yet another embodiment, indicate at least one A, including optionally multiple cases, and at least one B, including optionally multiple cases (and optionally include other elements).
[0035] Naturally, in any particular method described herein that includes multiple steps or actions, the order of the steps or actions of the method is not necessarily limited to the order in which the steps or actions of the method are described, unless otherwise specified in the context.
[0036] The terms “co-administration,” “co-administering,” and “combination therapy” refer to both simultaneous administration (simultaneous administration of two or more therapeutic agents) and administration at different times (administering one or more therapeutic agents at different times than the administration of further therapeutic agents or agonists), insofar as the therapeutic agents are present in the patient at the same time, to some extent, preferably in effective amounts. In certain preferred embodiments, one or more of the compounds described herein are co-administered in combination with at least one further bioactive agonist, particularly an anticancer agent. In particularly preferred embodiments, the co-administration of the compounds results in synergistic activity and / or therapeutic effect, including anticancer activity.
[0037] Where used herein, the term “compound” refers, unless otherwise specified, to any of the specific chemical compounds disclosed herein, including its tautomers, positional isomers, geometric isomers, and stereoisomers, including optical isomers (enantiomers) and other stereoisomers (diastereomers) where applicable, as well as its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives (including prodrug forms) where applicable in context. Where used, the term “compound” generally refers to a single compound, but may also include other compounds, such as stereoisomers, positional isomers, and / or optical isomers (including racemic mixtures) of the disclosed compound, as well as mixtures biased toward a particular enantiomer or any of the enantiomers. Where applicable in context, the term also refers to prodrug forms of compounds modified to facilitate the administration and delivery of the compound to the site of action. In the description of the compound, numerous substituents and variables associated therewith are specifically described. As is obvious to those skilled in the art, the molecules described herein are stable compounds, as is generally described herein. When bonds are shown, both double and single bonds are represented within the context of the compound being shown.
[0038] The term "ubiquitin ligase" refers to a family of proteins that target specific substrate proteins for degradation by promoting ubiquitin transfer to those substrate proteins. For example, cereblon is an E3 ubiquitin ligase protein that, alone or in combination with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, binds ubiquitin to the lysine of target proteins, thereby targeting specific protein substrates for degradation by the proteasome. In other words, E3 ubiquitin ligases, alone or in combination with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, are responsible for ubiquitin transfer to target proteins. Generally, ubiquitin ligases are involved in polyubiquitination, where a second ubiquitin molecule binds to the first, and a third binds to the second. Polyubiquitination labels proteins for degradation by the proteasome. However, some ubiquitination events are limited to monoubiquitination, in which case only one ubiquitin molecule is attached to the substrate molecule by the ubiquitin ligase. Monoubiquitinated proteins are not targeted for degradation by the proteasome; instead, their intracellular positioning or function may be altered, for example, through binding to other proteins that have domains capable of binding to ubiquitin. Further complicating matters, different lysines of ubiquitin can be targeted by E3 to form chains. The most common lysine is Lys48 of the ubiquitin chain, which is used to form polyubiquitin recognized by the proteasome.
[0039] The terms “patient” or “subject” are used throughout this specification to describe animals, preferably humans or domestic animals, to which treatment, including prophylactic treatment, is provided with the compositions according to the present invention. With respect to the treatment of infections, symptoms, or disease conditions specific to certain animals, such as human patients, the term patient refers to certain animals, including domesticated animals such as dogs or cats, or livestock animals such as horses, cattle, or sheep. In general, in the present invention, the term patient refers to human patients unless otherwise specified or indicated by the context in which the term is used.
[0040] The term "effective" is used to describe the amount of a compound, composition, or component that produces an intended result when used in the context of its intended use. The term "effective" encompasses all other effective quantity or effective concentration terms described or used in this application.
[0041] Compounds and compositions In one embodiment, this description provides a compound comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety ("ULM"), namely a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety ("CLM"). In one embodiment, the CLM has the following structure: (I) L-CLM The compounds are coupled with a chemical linker (L), where L is a chemical linker group and CLM is the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase binding site. The number and / or relative arrangement of each part in the compounds described herein are illustrative only. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, the compounds described herein can be synthesized in any desired number and / or arrangement of each functional part.
[0042] The terms ULM and CLM are used in their comprehensive sense unless otherwise specified in the context. For example, the term ULM encompasses all ULMs, including those that bind to cereblon (i.e., CLMs). Furthermore, the term CLM encompasses all possible cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase binding sites.
[0043] In another embodiment, the present invention provides bifunctional or multifunctional PROTAC compounds useful for controlling protein activity by inducing the degradation of target proteins. In certain embodiments, the compound comprises a portion that binds to a target protein (i.e., a protein targeting portion or "PTM") and a CLM that is directly or indirectly coupled, for example, covalently. In certain embodiments, the CLM and PTM are joined or coupled via a chemical linker (L). The CLM recognizes cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase, the PTM recognizes a target protein, and the interaction between each portion and its respective target promotes the degradation of the target protein by positioning the target protein very close to the ubiquitin ligase protein. Exemplary bifunctional compounds are as follows: (II) PTM-CLM This can be shown as follows.
[0044] In certain embodiments, the bifunctional compound further comprises a chemical linker ("L"). For example, the bifunctional compound may be: (III) PTM-L-CLM This can be shown as follows, where PTM is the protein / polypeptide targeting moiety, L is the linker, and CLM is the cereblon E3 ligase binding moiety.
[0045] In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein include multiple PTMs (targeting the same or different proteins), multiple CLMs, one or more ULMs (i.e., moieties that specifically bind to another E3 ubiquitin ligase, e.g., VHL), or a combination thereof. In any aspect of the embodiments described herein, the PTMs, CLMs, and ULMs can be coupled directly, via one or more chemical linkers, or in combination thereof. In further embodiments, if the compound has multiple ULMs, the ULMs may be for the same E3 ubiquitin ligase, or each ULM may specifically bind to a different E3 ubiquitin ligase. In further embodiments, if the compound has multiple PTMs, the PTMs may bind to the same target protein, or each PTM may specifically bind to a different target protein.
[0046] In another embodiment, this description provides compounds comprising multiple CLMs coupled directly or via a chemical linker moiety (L). For example, a compound having two CLMs is: (IV) CLM-CLM or (V)CLM-L-CLM This can be shown as follows.
[0047] In certain embodiments, if the compound contains multiple CLMs, the CLMs are identical. In further embodiments, the compound containing multiple CLMs further includes at least one PTM coupled to the CLMs directly, via a chemical linker (L), or both. In certain further embodiments, the compound containing multiple CLMs further includes multiple PTMs. In further embodiments, the PTMs are identical or optionally different. In further embodiments, if the PTMs are different, each PTM may bind to the same protein target or may specifically bind to different protein targets.
[0048] In further embodiments, this description provides compounds comprising at least two different CLMs coupled directly, via a chemical linker (L), or both. For example, such compounds comprising two different CLMs are: (VI) CLM-CLM' or (VII)CLM-L-CLM' This can be shown as follows. In the formula, CLM' represents a cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase binding site which is structurally different from CLM. In certain embodiments, the compound may contain a plurality of CLMs and / or a plurality of CLM'. In further embodiments, a compound containing at least two different CLMs, a plurality of CLMs, and / or a plurality of CLM' further contains at least one PTM coupled to a CLM or CLM' directly, via a chemical linker (L), or both. In any of the embodiments described herein, a compound containing at least two different CLMs may further contain a plurality of PTMs. In further embodiments, the PTMs may be identical or optionally different. In further embodiments, if the PTMs are different, each PTM may bind to the same protein target or may specifically bind to different protein targets. In further embodiments, the PTM itself is a ULM or CLM (or a ULM' or CLM').
[0049] In preferred embodiments, CLM comprises a moiety that is a ligand for cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRBN). In certain embodiments, CLM comprises a chemical species derived from a molecule of the "imide" class. In certain further embodiments, CLM comprises a phthalimide group or its analogues or derivatives. In even further embodiments, CLM comprises a phthalimidoglutarimide group or its analogues or derivatives. In yet another embodiment, CLM comprises members of the group consisting of thalidomide, lenalidomide, pomalidomide, and their analogues or derivatives.
[0050] In further embodiments, this description provides compounds as described herein, including their enantiomers, diastereomers, solvates, and polymorphs, including their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as acid salts and base salts, as polymorphs.

[0053] The term "independently" is used herein to indicate that a variable item to which an independent meaning can be applied changes independently each time that meaning is applied.
[0054] The term "alkyl" in this context refers to a linear, branched, or cyclic, fully saturated hydrocarbon radical, i.e., an alkyl group, preferably C1-C1. 10 , more preferably C1-C6 or C1-C3 alkyl groups, where the alkyl group may be substituted.

In certain embodiments, the alkyl group is capped at the terminus with a halogen group (At, Br, Cl, F, or I). In certain preferred embodiments, the compounds according to the present invention may be used to covalently bond with a dehalogenase enzyme. Such compounds generally have a side chain ending with an alkyl group having a halogen substituent (often chlorine or bromine) at the distal end (often linked via a polyethylene glycol group), resulting in a covalent bond between the compound having such a portion and the protein.

[0057] The term "alkylene" is used, when applicable, as -(CH2) n- indicates a group (where n is generally an integer from 0 to 6), and this group may be substituted. If substituted, the alkylene group is preferably substituted with a C1-C6 alkyl group (including a cyclopropyl group or a t-butyl group) at one or more methylene groups, but may also be substituted with one or more halo groups, preferably 1 to 3 halo groups, or one or two hydroxyl groups, an O-(C1-C6 alkyl) group, or an amino acid side chain, as otherwise described herein. In certain embodiments, the alkylene group may be substituted with a urethane or alkoxy group (or other group), the urethane or alkoxy group may be further substituted with a polyethylene glycol chain (1 to 10, preferably 1 to 6, often 1 to 4 ethylene glycol units), and the polyethylene glycol chain may be substituted with an alkyl chain substituted with one halogen group, preferably a chlorine group (preferably at the distal end of the polyethylene glycol chain, but not limited thereto).

In certain embodiments, the alkylene group (often a monomethylene group) is substituted with one or two may be substituted C1-C6 alkyl groups, preferably C1-C4 alkyl groups, often methyl or O-methyl groups, or amino acid side chains as described herein. In the present invention, a portion of the molecule may be substituted with up to five substituents, preferably up to three substituents.

[0078] In a particular embodiment, for example, if q is greater than 2, A q This is a base that connects to the ULM or ULM' portion, and A1 and A q They are connected via structural unit A (number of such structural unit A: q-2).
[0079] In a particular embodiment, for example, if q is 2, A q This is a base that connects to A1 and to the ULM or ULM' portion.
[0080] In a particular embodiment, for example, when q is 1, the structure of the linker group L is -A1-, where A1 is a group that connects to the ULM or ULM' portion and the PTM portion.
[0081] In a further embodiment, q is an integer between 1 and 100, 1 and 90, 1 and 80, 1 and 70, 1 and 60, 1 and 50, 1 and 40, 1 and 30, 1 and 20, or 1 and 10.
[0082] In a particular embodiment, the linker (L) is as follows: Selected from the group consisting of TIFF2026094376000014.tif50128 and TIFF2026094376000015.tif230147.
[0083] In further embodiments, the linker group is a substituted (poly)ethylene glycol having 1 to about 100 ethylene glycol units, about 1 to about 50 ethylene glycol units, 1 to about 25 ethylene glycol units, about 1 to 10 ethylene glycol units, between 1 to about 8 ethylene glycol units and 1 to 6 ethylene glycol units, and 2 to 4 ethylene glycol units, or a substituted alkyl group having substituted O, N, S, P, or Si atoms dispersed within the group. In certain embodiments, the linker is substituted with an aryl, phenyl, benzyl, alkyl, alkylene, or heterocyclyl group. In certain embodiments, the linker may be asymmetric or symmetric.
[0084] In any embodiment of the compounds described herein, the linker group may be any suitable group as described herein. In one embodiment, the linker is a substituted or unsubstituted polyethylene glycol group having a size in the range of about 1 to about 12 ethylene glycol units, 1 to about 10 ethylene glycol units, about 2 to 6 ethylene glycol units, about 2 to 5 ethylene glycol units, or about 2 to 4 ethylene glycol units.
[0085] Although the CLM (or ULM) group and the PTM group can be covalently bonded to the linker group through any group suitable and stable for the chemical properties of the linker, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the linker is independently covalently bonded to the CLM group and the PTM group, preferably through an amide, ester, thioester, keto group, carbamate (urethane), carbon, or ether, and these groups may be inserted at any position on the CLM group and the PTM group to maximize the binding of the CLM group to the ubiquitin ligase and the binding of the PTM group to the target protein to be degraded. (In a particular embodiment where the PTM group is a ULM group, the target protein to be degraded may be the ubiquitin ligase itself.) In a particular preferred embodiment, the linker may be linked to the CLM and / or PTM group to an optionally substituted alkyl, alkylene, alkene or alkyne group, aryl group, or heterocyclic group.
[0086] Examples of PTM In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the PTM group is a group that binds to a target protein. The target of the PTM group is selected from proteins expressed in cells, of which there are many types, and at least a portion of the sequence is found in cells and is capable of binding to the PTM group. The term "protein" includes oligopeptide sequences and polypeptide sequences of sufficient length that can bind to the PTM group according to the present invention. Any protein of the eukaryotic or microbial system, including viruses, bacteria, or fungi, as described in any part of this specification, is a target of ubiquitination mediated by the compound according to the present invention. Preferably, the target protein is a eukaryotic protein. In a particular embodiment, the protein-binding moiety is a C1-C substituted with a haloalkane, preferably at least one halo group. 10 The haloalkane is an alkyl group, preferably with the halo group located at the distal end of the alkyl group (i.e., away from the linker or CLM group), and this haloalkane can covalently bind to a dehalogenase enzyme in a patient or subject, or in a diagnostic assay.
[0087] Examples of PTM groups according to the present invention include any moiety that specifically binds to a protein (bounds to a target protein), and the following small molecule target protein moieties are listed as examples, not limitations: among many, Hsp90 inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, HDM2 & MDM2 inhibitors, compounds targeting human BET bromodomain-containing proteins, HDAC inhibitors, human lysine methyltransferase inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors, nuclear hormone receptor compounds, immunosuppressive compounds, and compounds targeting aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AHRs). The compositions described below exemplify some of the members of these nine types of small molecule target protein binding moieties. Examples of such small molecule target protein binding moieties include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, enantiomers, solvates, and polymorphs of these compositions, as well as other small molecules that can target the protein of interest. These binding moieties are linked to a ubiquitin ligase binding moiety, preferably via a linker, for the purpose of bringing the target protein (to which the protein target-directing moiety binds) to the vicinity of the ubiquitin ligase for ubiquitination and degradation.
[0088] Any protein that can bind to a protein targeting moiety, i.e., a PTM group, and is acted upon or degraded by a ubiquitin ligase, can be considered a target protein according to the present invention. Generally, target proteins include, for example, structural proteins, receptors, enzymes, cell surface proteins, proteins associated with the integrated function of cells, including proteins with catalytic activity, aromatase activity, kinetic activity, helicase activity, metabolic processes (anabolic and catabolic), antioxidant activity, proteolytic activity, biosynthesis, kinase activity, oxidoreductase activity, transferase activity, hydrolase activity, lyase activity, isomerase activity, ligase activity, enzyme regulator activity, signaling factor activity, structural molecule activity, and binding activity (proteins, lipids, etc.). Proteins related to carbohydrates, receptor activity, cell motility, membrane fusion, intercellular signaling, regulation of biological processes, development, cell differentiation, stimulus response, behavioral proteins, cell adhesion proteins, proteins related to cell death, transport-related proteins (including protein transporter activity, nuclear transport, ion transporter activity, channel transporter activity, carrier activity, permease activity, secretory activity, and electron transporter activity), pathogenicity, chaperone regulatory activity, nucleic acid binding activity, transcription regulatory activity, extracellular organization and biosynthesis activity, and translation regulatory activity can be cited. Target proteins can be derived from eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and among the many such organisms, humans as targets of drug therapy, other animals including domesticated animals, microorganisms for the evaluation of antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents, as well as plants and even viruses.
[0089] In further embodiments, the PTM group is a haloalkyl group, which generally has a length ranging from about 1 or 2 to about 12 carbon atoms, often about 2 to 10 carbon atoms, often about 3 to about 8 carbon atoms, and more often about 4 to about 6 carbon atoms. The haloalkyl group is generally a linear alkyl group (although segmented alkyl groups can also be used), with at least one halogen group, preferably a single halogen group, often a single chloride group, capped at the ends. The haloalkyl PT group for use in the present invention is preferably of the chemical structure -(CH2) v - Represented by a halo, where v is any integer between 2 and approximately 12, often between approximately 3 and approximately 8, and more often between approximately 4 and approximately 6. The halo can be any halogen, but is preferably Cl or Br, and more often Cl.
[0090] In another embodiment, the present invention provides a library of compounds comprising several compounds, each composition having formula AB, where A is a ubiquitin pathway protein-binding moiety (preferably an E3 ubiquitin ligase moiety as disclosed herein), B is a protein-binding member of the molecular library, A is coupled to B (preferably through a linker moiety), and the ubiquitin pathway protein-binding moiety recognizes a ubiquitin pathway protein, particularly an E3 ubiquitin ligase, such as cereblon. In a particular embodiment, the library contains a specific cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety bound to a random set of target protein-binding elements (e.g., a compound library). In such a case, the target protein is not predetermined, and the method can be used to determine the activity of the putative protein-binding element and the pharmacological value of that element as a target for degradation by ubiquitin ligases.
[0091] The present invention can also be used to treat a number of disease conditions and / or symptoms, including any disease conditions and / or symptoms in which proteins are dysregulated and any disease conditions and / or symptoms in which the breakdown of proteins is beneficial to the patient.
[0092] In a further embodiment, this description provides therapeutic compositions comprising an effective amount of the compound or a salt thereof as described herein, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, additive, or excipient, and optionally additional bioactive agents. The therapeutic compositions can be used to modulate proteolysis in a patient or subject, such as an animal such as a human, and to treat or induce remission of a disease condition or symptom modulated through the degraded protein. In a particular embodiment, the therapeutic compositions as described herein can be used to bring about the degradation of a protein of interest for the treatment or remission of a disease, such as cancer. In a particular further embodiment, the disease is multiple myeloma.
[0093] In an alternative embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for treating or achieving remission of a disease condition or symptoms in a subject requiring treatment of a disease condition or remission of symptoms of a disease or symptom, by degrading proteins or polypeptides that modulate the disease condition or symptoms, the method comprising administering to the patient or subject at least one of the compounds described herein above in an effective amount, e.g., a therapeutically effective amount, in combination with optionally pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, additives, or excipients, and optionally additional physiologically active agents, the composition being effective in treating or achieving remission of the disease or disorder or symptoms in the subject. The method according to the present invention can be used to treat a very large number of disease conditions or symptoms, including cancer, by administering at least one of the compounds described herein in an effective amount. The disease condition or symptoms may be caused by microbial pathogens or other exogenous pathogens, e.g., viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa, or other microorganisms, or they may be caused by protein overexpression that leads to the disease condition or symptoms.
[0094] In another embodiment, this description provides a method for identifying the effect of compounds according to the present invention on the degradation of a target protein in a biological system.
[0095] The term "target protein" is used to describe a protein or polypeptide that is targeted for binding with the compounds according to the present invention and for degradation by ubiquitin ligases. Such small molecule target protein binding moieties include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, enantiomers, solvates, and polymorphs of their compositions, as well as other small molecules that can target the protein of interest. These binding moieties are linked to a CLM or ULM group via a linker group L.
[0096] Any protein or peptide, including its fragments, analogues, and / or homologues, can be listed as target proteins that may bind to a protein targeting moiety and may be degraded by a ligase bound to a ubiquitin ligase binding moiety. Target proteins include any protein and peptide having any biological function or activity, such as structural, regulatory, hormonal, enzymatic, gene, immune, contractile, storage, transport, and signaling functions or activities. In certain embodiments, target proteins include structural proteins, receptors, enzymes, cell surface proteins, and proteins associated with the integrated function of cells, such as proteins with catalytic activity, aromatase activity, kinetic activity, helicase activity, metabolic processes (anabolic and catabolic), antioxidant activity, proteolytic activity, biosynthesis, kinase activity, oxidoreductase activity, transferase activity, hydrolase activity, lyase activity, isomerase activity, ligase activity, enzyme regulator activity, signaling factor activity, structural molecular activity, etc. Proteins involved in synthetic activity (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates), receptor activity, cell motility, membrane fusion, intercellular signaling, regulation of biological processes, development, cell differentiation, stimulus response, behavioral proteins, cell adhesion proteins, proteins related to cell death, transport-related proteins (including protein transporter activity, nuclear transport, ion transporter activity, channel transporter activity, carrier activity, permease activity, secretory activity, and electron transporter activity), pathogenicity, chaperone regulatory activity, nucleic acid binding activity, transcription regulatory activity, extracellular organization and biosynthesis activity, and translation regulatory activity can be listed. Target proteins can include proteins derived from eukaryotes and prokaryotes, including microorganisms, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Among the many such organisms, humans, microorganisms, viruses, fungi, and parasites are particularly noteworthy as targets for drug therapy. Among the many such organisms, humans, microorganisms, viruses, fungi, and parasites are particularly noteworthy as targets for drug therapy, as are other animals including domesticated animals, microorganisms for evaluating antibiotics and other antimicrobial agents, plants, and even viruses.

[0193] This disclosure includes, where applicable, compositions comprising pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds described herein, more particularly, acid or base addition salts. Acids used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the above basic compounds useful in this embodiment are those that form non-toxic acid addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmaceutically acceptable anions, such as hydrochlorides, hydrobroms, hydroiodides, nitrates, sulfates, bisulfates, phosphates, acidic phosphates, acetates, lactates, citrates, acidic citrates, tartrates, bisulfates, succinates, maleates, fumarates, glucons, sugarates, benzoates, methanesulfons, ethanesulfons, benzenesulfons, p-toluenesulfons, and pamoates [i.e., 1,1'-methylene-bis-(2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid)] salts, among many others.
[0194] Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts can also be used to produce pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds or derivatives of the present disclosure. Chemical bases that can be used as reagents to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable base salts of the acidic compounds of the present invention are those that form a non-toxic base salt with such compounds. Such non-toxic base salts include, but are not limited to, those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable cations, such as alkali metal cations (e.g., potassium and sodium) and alkaline earth metal cations (e.g., calcium, zinc, and magnesium), ammonium or water-soluble amine addition salts, such as N-methylglucamine-(meglumine), and other base salts of lower alkanolammonium and pharmaceutically acceptable organic amines.
[0195] The compounds described herein may be administered orally, parenterally, or topically in single or divided doses, according to this disclosure. Administration of the active compounds can range from continuous administration (intravenous infusion) to multiple daily oral administrations (e.g., QID), and among the routes of administration, oral, topical, parenteral, intramuscular, intravenous, subcutaneous, transdermal (which may include osmotic enhancers), buccal, sublingual, and suppository administration are particularly possible. Enteric-coated oral tablets can also be used to improve the bioavailability of the compounds from the oral administration route. The most effective dosage form will depend on the pharmacokinetics of the selected specific activator and the severity of the patient's disease. Administration of the compounds according to this disclosure as sprays, mists, or aerosols for nasal, intratracheal, or pulmonary administration is also possible. Accordingly, this disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds described herein in effective amounts, in combination with optionally pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or additives. The compounds according to this disclosure may be administered in immediate-release, intermediate-release, or sustained-release or controlled-release formulations. Sustained-release or controlled-release formulations are preferably administered orally, but may also be administered in suppositories and transdermal or other topical formulations. Intramuscular injection in liposomal form may also be used to control or sustain the release of the compound at the injection site.
[0196] The compositions described herein can be formulated conventionally using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and can also be administered as controlled-release formulations. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers that can be used in such pharmaceutical compositions include, but are not limited to, ion exchangers, alumina, aluminum stearate, lecithin, serum proteins such as human serum albumin, buffering substances such as phosphates, glycine, sorbic acid, potassium sorbate, partial glyceride mixtures of saturated vegetable fatty acids, water, salts or electrolytes such as prolamin sulfate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, zinc salts, colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulosic substances, polyethylene glycol, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyacrylic acid compounds, waxes, polyethylene-polyoxypropylene-block polymers, polyethylene glycol, and lanolin.
[0197] The compositions described herein may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, or via an indwelling reservoir. The term “parenterally,” as used herein, refers to subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-articular, intrabursal, intrasternal, subarachnoid, intrahepatic, intrafocal, and intracranial injection or infusion techniques. Preferably, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally, or intravenously.
[0198] The sterile injectable dosage forms of the compositions described herein may be aqueous or oily suspensions. Such suspensions can be formulated using appropriate dispersants or wetting agents and suspending agents by techniques known in the art. The sterile injectable formulation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension using a non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, such as a 1,3-butanediol solution. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used are, in particular, water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Sterile non-volatile oils have also been conventionally used as solvents or suspension media. For this purpose, any brand of non-volatile oil, including synthetic mono or diglycerides, can be used. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives, are useful in the manufacture of injectable solutions as naturally pharmaceutically acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, and especially as polyoxyethylated variants thereof. Such oil solutions or suspensions may also contain long-chain alcohol diluents or dispersants, such as Ph. Helv or similar alcohols.
[0199] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be administered orally in any orally acceptable dosage form, including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions, or liquids.

For oral administration in capsule form, lactose and dried corn starch are useful diluents. If an oral aqueous suspension is required, the active ingredient is combined with an emulsifier and a suspending agent. Certain sweeteners, flavorings, or colorants may also be added, if desired.
[0200] Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered in the form of rectal suppositories. Suppositories can be prepared by mixing the activating agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient, which is a solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature and therefore dissolves in the rectum to release the drug. Examples of such materials include cocoa butter, beeswax, and polyethylene glycol.
[0201] Pharmaceutical compositions as described herein may be administered topically. Suitable topical formulations can be readily prepared for each of these areas or organs. Topical administration for the lower intestinal tract can be achieved with rectal suppository formulations (see above) or with suitable enema formulations. Topical-permitted transdermal patches may also be used.
[0202] In the case of topical formulations, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as a suitable ointment containing an active ingredient suspended or dispersed in one or more carriers. Examples of topical carriers for the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid paraffin, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compounds, emulsifying waxes, and water. In certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, the compounds may be used to coat a stent intended for surgical implantation in a patient, for the purpose of preventing or reducing the possibility of occlusion occurring in the stent in the patient.
[0203] Alternatively, the pharmaceutical composition may be formulated as a suitable lotion or cream containing an active ingredient suspended or dispersed in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl ester wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol, and water.
[0204] For ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as a micronized suspension of isotonic, pH-adjusted sterile physiological saline, or preferably as a solution of isotonic, pH-adjusted sterile physiological saline, with or without a preservative such as benzalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic use, the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated into an ointment such as petrolatum.
[0205] Pharmaceutical compositions as described herein may also be administered by nasal aerosol, i.e., by inhalation. Such compositions may be prepared in accordance with techniques well known in the field of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as a saline solution using benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption enhancers to improve bioavailability, carbon fluoride, and / or other conventional solubilizers or dispersants.
[0206] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may also be combined with carrier materials to produce single dosage forms, but the amount of compound in such compositions will vary depending on the host and the disease being treated and the specific mode of administration. Preferably, the compositions should be formulated to contain, alone or in combination with at least one other compound according to the present invention, about 0.05 milligrams to about 750 milligrams or more, more preferably about 1 milligram to about 600 milligrams, and even more preferably about 10 milligrams to about 500 milligrams of the active ingredient.
[0207] Naturally, regardless of who the patient is, a specific medication and treatment regimen for that particular patient will depend on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound used, age, weight, overall health, sex, diet, administration time, elimination rate, concomitant medications, the judgment of the treating physician, and the severity of the specific disease or condition being treated.
[0208] Patients or subjects requiring treatment using the compounds in accordance with the methods described herein may be treated by administering to the patient (subject) an effective amount of the compounds according to the present invention, including its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, or polymorphs, in addition to an optionally pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, either alone or in combination with other known erythropoiesis-stimulating agents as identified herein.
[0209] These compounds can be administered via any suitable route, such as orally, parenterally, intravenously, intradermally, subcutaneously, or topically (topical applications include liquid, cream, gel, or solid transdermal routes), or in aerosol dosage form.
[0210] The active compound is contained in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver a therapeutically effective dose for the desired efficacy to the patient without causing serious toxic effects in the patient being treated. Suitable doses of the active compound for all the symptoms described herein range from about 10 ng / kg to 300 mg / kg, preferably 0.1 to 100 mg / kg per day, and more generally, from 0.5 to about 25 mg per kilogram of recipient / patient body weight per day. Typical topical dosages would range from 0.01 to 5% wt / wt in a suitable carrier.
[0211] The compound is administered in any suitable unit dosage form, which may contain less than 1 mg, 1 mg to 3000 mg, preferably 5 to 500 mg of the active ingredient per unit dosage form, but is not limited to these. An oral dose of approximately 25 to 250 mg is often convenient.
[0212] The active ingredient is administered to achieve a peak plasma concentration of the active compound, preferably about 0.00001 to 30 mM, more preferably about 0.1 to 30 μM. This can be achieved, for example, by intravenous injection of a solution or formulation of the active ingredient, optionally added to physiological saline or an aqueous medium, or by bolus administration of the active ingredient. Oral administration is also suitable for achieving an effective plasma concentration of the active ingredient.
[0213] The concentration of the active compound in the drug composition will depend on the drug's absorption rate, distribution rate, inactivation rate, and elimination rate, as well as other factors known to those skilled in the art. The dosage will also vary with the severity of the symptoms to be alleviated. Furthermore, naturally, for any particular subject, the specific drug regimen should be adjusted over time according to individual needs and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the composition. The concentration ranges described herein are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition. The active ingredient may be administered in a single dose or in multiple smaller doses at various intervals.
[0214] Oral compositions will generally contain an inert diluent or an edible carrier. These may be encapsulated in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. When intended for oral administration for therapeutic purposes, the active compound or its prodrug derivative can be combined with excipients and used in the form of tablets, lozenges, or capsules. A pharmaceutically acceptable binder and / or adjuvant material may be included as part of the composition.
[0215] Tablets, pills, capsules, lozenges, etc., may contain any of the following ingredients or compounds having similar properties: binders, e.g., microcrystalline cellulose, tragacanth gum, or gelatin; excipients, e.g., starch or lactose; dispersants, e.g., alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; lubricants, e.g., magnesium stearate or sterote; flow enhancers, e.g., colloidal silicon dioxide; sweeteners, e.g., sucrose or saccharin; or flavorings, e.g., peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavorings. If the dosage unit is a capsule, the capsule may contain a liquid carrier, e.g., fatty oil, in addition to the above types of materials. The dosage unit may also contain various other materials that modify the physical shape of the dosage form, e.g., sugar coatings, shellac, or enteric coatings.
[0216] The active compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof can be administered as an ingredient in elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, chewing gums, and the like. In addition to the active compound, the syrup may contain sucrose as a sweetener, and may also contain preservatives, colorants and pigments, and flavorings.
[0217] The active compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may also be mixed with other active materials that do not impair the desired effect, or with materials that complement the desired effect, such as erythropoietin stimulants, including, in particular, EPO and darbepoetin alfa. In certain preferred embodiments of the present invention, one or more compounds according to the present invention are administered co-administered with another bioactive agent, such as an erythropoietin stimulant or a wound-healing agent including an antibiotic, as described in any of the foregoing.
[0218] Liquids or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, subcutaneous, or topical administration may contain the following components: sterile diluents, e.g., water for injection, physiological saline, non-volatile oils, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, propylene glycol, or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents, e.g., benzyl alcohol or methylparaben; antioxidants, e.g., ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents, e.g., ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers, e.g., acetates, citrates, or phosphates; and reagents for adjusting isotonicity, e.g., sodium chloride or glucose. Parenteral formulations may be sealed in glass or plastic ampoules, disposable syringes, or multi-dose vials.
[0219] When administered intravenously, the preferred carrier is physiological saline or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS).
[0220] In one embodiment, the active compound is formulated using a carrier that protects the compound from rapid elimination from the body, such as a release-controlled formulation, and such formulations include implantable and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydride, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters, and polylactic acid, can be used. Methods for producing such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
[0221] Liposome suspensions can also serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Liposome suspensions can be prepared according to methods known to those skilled in the art, such methods are described, for example, in USPat. No. 4,522,811 (which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). For example, a liposome formulation can be prepared by dissolving a suitable lipid (such as stearoylphosphatidylethanolamine, stearoylphosphatidylcholine, arachidonoylphosphatidylcholine, and cholesterol) in an inorganic solvent, and then evaporating the inorganic solvent, leaving the lipid as a thin film of dry lipid on the surface of a container. An aqueous solution of the active compound is then introduced into the container. The container is then rotated by hand to free the lipid material from the sides of the container, dispersing lipid aggregates and thereby forming a liposome suspension.

[0237] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" is used throughout this specification to describe, where applicable, a salt of one or more of the compounds described herein, which is made into a salt to enhance the solubility of the compound in gastric juice of the patient's gastrointestinal tract for the purpose of promoting the solubility and bioavailability of the compound. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases and acids, where applicable. Suitable salts include, among many acids and bases well known in the pharmaceutical field, those derived from alkali metals, such as potassium and sodium, alkaline earth metals, such as calcium and magnesium, and ammonium salts. Sodium salts and potassium salts are particularly suitable as neutralizing salts of the phosphoric acid compounds according to the present invention.
[0238] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable derivative" is used throughout this specification to describe any pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug form (such as an ester, amide, or other prodrug group) that, when administered to a patient, directly or indirectly provides the Compound or an active metabolite of the Compound.
[0239] General synthesis approach The synthesis and optimization of bifunctional molecules as described herein may be undertaken in a stepwise or modular manner. For example, identifying compounds that bind to the target molecule may involve high-throughput or moderate-throughput screening operations if a suitable ligand is not immediately available. Typically, it is not necessary to have iterative design and optimization cycles to improve upon the suboptimal form identified by appropriate in vitro and pharmacological and / or ADMET assay data for the initial ligand. The optimization / SAR operation portion would involve searching for a site on the ligand that is resistant to substitution and appears suitable for binding the linker chemical group mentioned above. If crystal or NMR structural data is available, that data can be used to focus such synthetic efforts.
[0240] In precisely the same manner, E3 ligases, i.e., ULM / CLM ligands, can be identified and optimized.
[0241] Using readily available PTM and ULM (e.g., CLM), those skilled in the art can use known synthetic methods to combine them, with or without a linker moiety. The linker moiety can be synthesized in a wide range of compositions, lengths, and flexibility, and can be functionalized so that the PTM and ULM groups are sequentially bonded to the distal end of the linker. That is, a library of bifunctional molecules can be realized and characterized in vitro and in vivo by pharmacological and ADMET / PK experiments. Having PTM and ULM groups allows the final bifunctional molecules to be subjected to iterative design and optimization cycles to identify molecules with desired properties.
[0242] The following are some examples, not limiting, of the methods for generating CLM as described herein. TIFF2026094376000080.tif188154TIFF2026094376000081.tif214152TIFF20260943760 00082.tif120154TIFF2026094376000083.tif205155TIFF2026094376000084.tif149155
[0243] As shown in Reaction Example 1, a dimethyl phthalate derivative can be condensed with glutamine (racemic or enantiomer) or a glutamine analog, and then further reacted with an activating agent such as carbonyldiimidazole to form a 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative.
[0244] Alternatively, as shown in Reaction Example 2, the intermediate phthalimide produced in the first condensation described above may be prepared separately and / or isolated, and then reacted with a dehydrating agent such as trifluoroacetamide, POCl3, or acetic anhydride to form the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative. The same intermediate phthalimide can also be reacted with Lawson's reagent and then subjected to a dehydration step to obtain thio analogs such as those shown in Reaction Examples 8 and 9.
[0245] Representative example 3 shows N 1 - In this example, protected species of 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivatives, such as the BOC species, can be deprotected using reagents such as TFA or silica to obtain the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative.
[0246] Phthalic anhydrides, such as those shown in Representative Example 4, undergo ring-opening upon reaction with amines such as 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione to form an intermediate carboxylate species. This intermediate can then be treated with carbonyldiimidazole and benzotriazole to form the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative. Alternatively, as shown in Representative Reaction Example 13, the desired product may be obtained by combining the two components in the presence of acetic acid.
[0247] In a similar reaction, an anhydride derivative, such as that shown in Reaction Example 5, may be reacted with an amine (ammonia in the example shown), and then with carbonyldiimidazole to form the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative.
[0248] If phthaloyl chloride is available, direct condensation with glutamine (racemic or enantiomer) or a glutamine analog is possible, as shown in Reaction Example 6. Subsequently, it is further reacted with an activating agent such as carbonyldiimidazole to form a 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative.
[0249] As shown in Reaction Example 7, o-bromobenzamide can be reacted with a CO source such as an acid chloride in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a phosphine reagent to produce the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative. Alternatively, the desired product may be produced using CO gas itself in combination with a rhodium(II) catalyst and silver carbonate.
[0250] The derivatives 2-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione and 5-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-2-yl)-1,3-diadinane-2,4,6-trione can be prepared by means similar to some of the methods described above for the derivative 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione. In representative reaction examples 20 and 21, phthalic anhydride can be reacted with the derivatives 5-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-2,4-dione or 5-amino-1,3-diadinane-2,4,6-trione, respectively, in the presence of acetic acid to form the desired products.
[0251] Alternatively, as shown in Reaction Example 12, the 5-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-2-yl)-1,3-diazinan-2,4,6-trione derivative can be prepared by reacting the 5-amino-1,3-diadinan-2,4,6-trione derivative with monotert-butyl phthalate in the presence of a Hünig base, carbodiimide, and benzotriazole. Similar conditions can also be used to prepare the 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione derivative from monotert-butyl phthalate, as shown in Reaction Example 14.
[0252] Compounds such as 3-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione can be prepared from anthranilic acid derivatives by the reaction of 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione with carbodiimide, as shown in Reaction Example 16. As shown in Reaction Example 15, the intermediate benzamide product may be isolated (or produced separately) and further reacted with carbodiimide to produce the 3-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline-2,4-dione derivative.
[0253] The 3-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-1,3-benzoxazine-2,4-dione analog can be prepared by activating salicylic acid with a chloroformate compound and then condensing it with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione, as shown in representative reaction example 17.
[0254] 3,3-Dichloro-2,1λ 6 -Benzoxathiol-1,1-dione can be prepared by reacting 2-sulfobenzoic acid with POCl3 and PCl5, as shown in Reaction Example 18. These compounds can then be reacted with amino derivatives to obtain, for example, the desired 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1λ 6,2-benzothiazole-1,1,3-trione derivatives can be generated.
[0255] As shown in Reaction Example 19, the anion of the saccharin derivative is alkylated with an electrophile such as 3-bromo-3-methylpiperidine-2-one to obtain the desired 2-(3-methyl-2-oxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1λ 6 ,2-benzothiazole-1,1,3-trione derivatives can be generated.
[0256] 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1λ 6 Analogues of ,2-benzothiazole-1,1,3-trione can also be prepared by the reaction of methyl 2-[(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)sulfamoyl]benzoate with a strong base such as sodium hydride (see representative reaction example 20).
[0257] As shown in Reaction Example 21, the 2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-1,3-dione derivative is deprotonated with sodium ethoxide, and then reacted with an electrophile such as 3-bromopiperidine-2,6-dione to obtain 3-(2-methyl-1,3-dioxo-1H-indene-2-yl)piperidine-2,6-dione.
[0258] 2-[1-(benzyloxy)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,4-dione, etc. 1 -The preparation of the substituted compound (representative reaction example 22) can be achieved by reacting 2-(1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-2-yl)pentanedioic acid with N-benzylhydroxylamine and trifluoroacetic anhydride.
[0259] Next, molecules such as 2-[1-(benzyloxy)-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl]-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,4-dione (representative reaction example 23) are converted to N2-(1-hydroxy-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione by removing benzyl under hydrogenation conditions. 1 -A hydroxyl analog may also be used.
[0260] In representative reaction example 24, methyl 1,3-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-2-carboxylate (and its analogues) is reacted with 3-aminopiperidine-2-one to form 2-(2-oxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione.
[0261] As shown in Reaction Example 25, the same amine can also be reacted with a phthalic anhydride derivative in the presence of a Lewis acid such as zinc bromide and trimethylsilyl ether to obtain the same product. The intermediate product of this reaction, if isolated or prepared elsewhere (Representative Reaction Example 26), can be completely cyclized using a dehydrating agent.
[0262] Isomer derivatives such as 2-(6-oxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione, as shown in representative reaction example 27, can be obtained through the reaction of phthalic acid with 5-aminopiperidine-2-one.
[0263] N such as 2-(1-benzyl-2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,4-dione 1- The preparation of substituted compounds (representative reaction examples 28 and 29) can be achieved through multiple routes. For example, anhydrous (2-(2,6-dioxooxan-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione) can be condensed with 3-aminopiperidine-2,6-dione in the presence of DMAP and carbonyldiimidazole (representative reaction example 28), or, as shown in representative reaction example 29, a derivative of 2-(2,6-dioxopiperidine-3-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindole-1,3-dione can be alkylated with an electrophile such as benzyl bromide in the presence of a base.
[0264] In some cases, protecting group strategies and / or functional group transformations (FGIs) may be necessary to facilitate the preparation of the desired substance. Such chemical processes are well known to organic synthetic chemists, and many of them can be found in textbooks such as "Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis" by Peter GM Wuts and Theodora W. Greene (Wiley) and "Organic Synthesis: The Disconnection Approach" by Stuart Warren and Paul Wyatt (Wiley).

[0268] A. assay 1. CRBN assay - Cloning, expression, and purification of human CRBN and DDB1 This procedure is standard practice for those skilled in the art, and the description by Lopez-Girona et al. (Cereblon is a direct protein target for immunomodulatory and antiproliferative activities of lenalidomide and pomalidomide, A Lopez-Girona, D Mendy, T Ito, K Miller, AK Gandhi, J Kang, S Karasawa, G Carmel, P Jackson, M Abbasian, A Mahmoudi, B Cathers, E Rychak, S Gaidarova, R Chen, PH Schafer, H Handa, TO Daniel, JF Evans and R Chopra, Leukemia 26: 2326-2335, 2012) is a typical example.
[0269] The cDNA of the CRBN and DDB1 genes can be amplified by PCR using Pfusion(NEB) as the polymerase and the following primer sequences. TIFF2026094376000089.tif44160
[0270] Using nucleic acid-linking-independent cloning method26, CRBN can be cloned into pBV-ZZ-HT-LIC, pBV-GST-LIC, and pMA-HT-LIC, and DDB1 can be cloned into pBV-notag-LIC. When cloning into the mammalian vector pMA-HT-LIC, the C-terminal FLAG tag is attached to the CRBN-Flag-Reverse oligo for immunodetection. DDB1-Rev is tagged with StrepTag27. ZZ-tag28 is necessary to achieve high expression of soluble CRBN; without it, His-CRBN is expressed at low levels, while GST-CRBN results in aggregated proteins. Recombinant baculoviruses of ZZ-His-CRBN and DDB1-StrepTag(ST) are generated and amplified in Sf9 insect cells using a Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system obtained from in vitrogens. ZZ-His-CRBN and DDB1-ST were co-expressed in High Five (Tni) insects in a 10 L wave bag at 27°C using unrefilled ESF921 medium obtained from Expression Systems. 48 hours after infection, cells were harvested by centrifugation, and the paste was resuspended in PBS + 5x protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche, Indianapolis, IN).
[0271] All subsequent protein purification steps are performed at 4°C. Frozen cells are thawed and resuspended in 5x volume cell lysate (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 0.5 M NaCl, 10% glycerol, 2 mM DTT) with 20 mM imidazole and protease inhibitor added. The cells are dissolved and centrifuged to obtain a clear supernatant. CRBN-DDB1 is purified using nickel-Sepharose and S200 Sephacryl chromatography on an AKTA-xpress system (GE Healthcare). The complex is then further purified by anion exchange chromatography on an 8 ml MonoQ column and secondly by S-200 gel filtration. CRBN-DDB1 is identified by SDS-PAGE, and the CRBN-DDB1-containing fraction is pooled and stored at -70°C.
[0272] 2. Measurement of the binding of the compound to recombinant CRBN by fluorescence heat dissolution assay. This assay is standard practice for those skilled in the art, and the description by Lopez-Girona et al.

(Pantoliano MW, Petrella EC, Kwasnoski JD, Lobanov VS, Myslik J, Graf E et al. High-density miniaturized thermal shift assays as a general strategy for drug discovery. J Biomol Screen 2001;6:429-440). 2 mg of protein was added to 20 ml of assay buffer (25 mM Tris HCl (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, 2 μM Cypro Orange) and subjected to a stepwise temperature increase from 20°C to 70°C, with fluorescence measured every 1°C using an ABIPrism 7900HT (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The compound was dissolved in DMSO (final concentration during the assay was 1%) and tested in sets of four at concentrations ranging from 30 nM to 1000 uM; the control contained only 1% DMSO.
