The present disclosure relates to
bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of
estrogen receptor (
target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to
bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a
cereblon, Von Hippel-Lindau ligase-binding
moiety, Inhibitors of Apotosis Proteins, or mouse double-minute homolog 2 ligand, which binds to the respective E3
ubiquitin ligase, and on the other end a
moiety which binds the
target protein, such that the
target protein is placed in proximity to the
ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target
protein. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation / inhibition of target
protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of the target
protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.
