| abstract |
Provided herein are bifunctional compounds with a moiety (e.g., lenalidomide, thalidomide) that is a binder of an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., Cereblon) and another moiety that is a binder of a kinase (e.g., HCK, BTK) to induce degradation of the kinase (e.g., HCK, BTK). Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, and methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., proliferative diseases (e.g., non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Burkitt's lymphoma, Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, MYD88-mutated Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia, activated B-cell diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, leukemia)), inflammatory disease, or other diseases associated with MYD88 mutations). Provided also are methods of inducing the degradation of a kinase (e.g., HCK, BTK) in a cell in a biological sample or subject by administering the bifunctional compound or composition described herein. |
