Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of
leucine-rich repeat
kinase 2 (LRRK2), are described herein. In particular, the hetero-
bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a
moiety that binds to the
cereblon E3
ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a
moiety which binds LRRK2, such that the
target protein is placed in proximity to the
ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of
target protein. The hetero-
bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation / inhibition of
target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aberrant regulation of the target
protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.
