Using a site-directed fragment discovery method called tethering, we have identified a 60 nM small molecule antagonist of a cytokine/receptor interaction (IL-2/IL2Rα) with cell-based activity. Starting with a low micromolar hit, we employed a combination

The present invention provides, in one aspect, bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote or enhance degradation of certain circulating proteins. In another aspect, the present invention provides bifunctional compounds that can be used to promote or enhance degradation of certain autoantibodies. In certain embodiments, treatment or management of a disease and/or disorder requires degradation, removal, or reduction in concentration of the circulating protein or the autoantibody in the subject. Thus, in certain embodiments, administration of a compound of the invention to the subject removes or reduces the circulation concentration of the circulating protein or the autoantibody, thus treating, ameliorating, or preventing the disease and/or disorder. In certain embodiments, the circulating protein is TNF.
BIFUNCTIONAL SMALL MOLECULES TO TARGET THE SELECTIVE DEGRADATION OF CIRCULATING PROTEINS

Page/Page column 32, (2019/11/04)
The present invention is directed to bifunctional small molecules which contain a circulating protein binding moiety (CPBM) linked through a linker group to a cellular receptor binding moiety (CRBM) which is a membrane receptor of degrading cell such as a hepatocyte or other degrading cell. In embodiments, the (CRBM) is a moiety which binds to asialoglycoprotein receptor (an asialoglycoprotein receptor binding moiety, or ASGPRBM) of a hepatocyte. In additional embodiments, the (CRBM) is a moiety which binds to a receptor of other cells which can degrade proteins, such as a LRP1, LDLR, FcyRI, FcRN, Transferrin or Macrophage Scavenger receptor. Pharmaceutical compositions based upon these bifunctional small molecules represent an additional aspect of the present invention. These compounds and/or compositions may be used to treat disease states and conditions by removing circulating proteins through degradation in the hepatocytes or macrophages of a patient or subject in need of therapy. Methods of treating disease states and/or conditions in which circulating proteins are associated with the disease state and/or condition are also described herein.
Integrating fragment assembly and biophysical methods in the chemical advancement of small-molecule antagonists of IL-2: An approach for inhibiting protein-protein interactions

Fragment assembly has shown promise for discovering small-molecule antagonists for difficult targets, including protein-protein interactions. Here, we describe a process for identifying a 60 nM inhibitor of the interleukin-2 (IL-2)/IL-2 receptor (IL-2Rα)
