PROTEOLYSIS TARGETING CHIMERIC (PROTAC) COMPOUND WITH E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE BINDING ACTIVITY AND TARGETING ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN PROTEIN FOR TREATING NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES

摘要

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of alpha-synuclein (target protein). In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain on one end a Von Hippel-Lindau, cereblon, 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. Such diseases or disorders are alpha-synucleinopathies or neurodegenerative diseases associated with alpha-synuclein accumulation and aggregation, such as e.g. Parkinson Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies or multiple system atrophy, in particular Parkinson's Disease.
