Abstract:
Provided herein are bifunctional compounds that bind a target protein (e.g., a selected protein) and/or induce ubiquitination for degradation of the target protein. In particular, provided are compounds that bind a bromodomain or bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., BET proteins) or histone methyltransferases (HMTs, e.g., enhancer of zeste homolog 1 (EZH1), or FKBP12) and can promote its degradation by recruiting it to the ubiquitin receptor RPN13 (e.g., RA190), for proteasomal degradation. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., proliferative diseases, cancers, benign neoplasms, pathological angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) and musculoskeletal diseases, and methods of inducing the degradation of a target (e.g., a target protein) by recruiting it to the ubiquitin receptor RPN13 of the proteasome in a subject by administering a compound or composition described herein.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compounds that interrupt the function of SALL4. Also described are pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of these compounds.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds to treat diseases or disorders associated with HDAC3 activity.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds and pharmaceutically compositions thereof. The compounds and compositions are binders of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., bromo and extra terminal (BET) proteins). Also provided are methods, uses, and kits using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the activity (e.g., increased activity) of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins and for treating and/or preventing in a subject diseases associated with bromodomains or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., proliferative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning). The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits are also useful for male contraception.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides compounds of any one of Formulae (I), (II), and (III). The compounds described herein are inhibitors of histone methyltransferases (e.g., enhancer of zeste homolog 1 (EZH1) and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2)) and are useful in treating and/or preventing a broad range of diseases (e.g., proliferative diseases). Also provided in the present disclosure are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, methods, and uses including or using a compound described herein.
Abstract:
The invention features compositions and methods for treating or preventing a neoplasia. More specifically, the invention provides compositions and methods for disrupting the interaction of a BET family polypeptide comprising a bromodomain with chromatin (e.g., disrupting a bromodomain interaction with an acetyl-lysine modification present on a histone N-terminal tail).
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of Formula (II) (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)), and pharmaceutically compositions thereof. Compounds of Formula (II) are believed to be binders of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., bromo and extra terminal (BET) proteins). Also provided are methods, uses, and kits using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the activity (e.g., increased activity) of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins and for treating and/or preventing in a subject diseases associated with bromodomains or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., proliferative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning). The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits are also useful for male contraception.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compound that bind Histone H3-lysine79 (H3K79) methyl transferase (DOTIL). The disclosed compounds are useful as for assessing the activity of DOTIL and for identifying inhibitors of DOTIL. Described herein are probes useful for both assessing the activity of DOTIL and identifying inhibitors of DOTIL. These probes can be used in various assays, including Amplified Luminescent Proximity Homogeneous Assays (“ALPHA” assays), Differential Scanning Fluorimetry (DFS) Assay, and Fluorescence Polarization (FP) assays used for high-throughput screening (HTS) for small molecule drug discovery. The compounds can also be used as a pull down agent for target identification.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of mapping, across a genome, interaction of a drug with one or more factors that associate with the genome.
