The disclosure relates to nanoparticle drug conjugates (NDC) that comprise ultrasmall nanoparticles, folate receptor (FR) targeting ligands, and linker-drug conjugates, and methods of making and using them to treat cancer.

The disclosure relates to anti-cancer compounds derived from nuclear steroid receptor binders, to products containing the same, as well as to methods of their use and preparation.

Conjugates of an active agent such as a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agent attached to an HSP90 targeting moiety via a linker have been designed. Nanoparticles and microparticles comprising such conjugates can provide improved temporospatial delivery of the active agent and/or improved biodistribution. Methods of making the conjugates, the particles, and the formulations thereof are provided. Methods of administering the formulations to a subject in need thereof are provided, for example, to treat or prevent cancer or other diseases.

Methods for designing bivalent compounds which selectively degrade/disrupt EZH2 and compositions and methods of using such degraders/disruptors to treat EZH2-mediated cancer are provided.

Provided is a degrader for injured mitochondria based on an autophagy mechanism, the degrader including a compound or a salt thereof, the compound containing a ligand capable of binding to or accumulating in mitochondria and a substituent represented by the following general formula (1): ##STR00001##
where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, and R.sup.3 are identical to or different from each other, and each represent a hydrogen atom or the like.

The present disclosure provides, in some aspects, macromonomers of Formula (I), and salts thereof; methods of preparing the macromonomers, and salts thereof; Brush prodrugs (polymers); methods of preparing the Brush prodrugs; compounds of Formula (II); conjugates of Formula (III), and salts thereof; pharmaceutical compositions comprising a Brush prodrug, or a conjugate or a salt thereof; kits comprising: a macromonomer or a salt thereof, a Brush prodrug, a compound, a conjugate or a salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition; methods of using the Brush prodrugs, or conjugates or salts thereof; and uses of the Brush prodrugs, and conjugates or salts thereof. These chemical entities may be useful in delivering pharmaceutical agents to a subject or cell.

This disclosure generally relates to therapeutic conjugates that covalently bind to a biological target. Methods of administering the compositions to a subject in need thereof are also provided herein.

The present invention provides, inter alia, treatment regimens for administration of an IL-2 receptor agonist. The present invention is directed to, inter alia, methods for modulating an immune response in a subject in need thereof with an IL-2 receptor agonist. In some aspects, the immune response is an anti-cancer immune response.

Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Kirsten ras sarcoma protein (KRas or KRAS), are described herein. In particular, the hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a moiety that binds to the Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds KRas, 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.

The present technology is directed to compositions comprising d-threo-methylphenidate conjugates and/or unconjugated methylphenidate. The present technology also relates to compositions and oral formulations comprising d-threo-methylphenidate conjugated to nicotinoyl-L-serine, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and unconjugated methylphenidate and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present technology additionally relates to a pharmaceutical kit containing the composition comprising d-threo-methylphenidate conjugated to nicotinoyl-L-serine, and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and unconjugated methylphenidate and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
