A selective IAP binder together with a linker moiety.

The present application provides bifunctional compounds of Formula (I):

##STR00001##

or Targeting Ligand
or an enantiomer, diastereomer, or stereoisomer thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, or prodrug thereof, which act as protein degradation inducing moieties for bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9). The present application also provides methods for the targeted degradation of BRD9 through the use of the bifunctional compounds that link a ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety to a ligand that is capable of binding to BRD9 which can be utilized in the treatment of disorders modulated by BRD9.

The presently described technology provides compositions comprising aryl carboxylic acids chemically conjugated to hydrocodone (morphinan-6-one, 4,5-alpha-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl) to form novel prodrugs/compositions of hydrocodone, including benzoates and heteroaryl carboxylic acids, which have a decreased potential for abuse of hydrocodone. The present technology also provides methods of treating patients, pharmaceutical kits and methods of synthesizing conjugates of the present technology.

The present invention relates to compounds, compositions, combinations and medicaments containing said compounds and processes for their preparation. The invention also relates to the use of said compounds, combinations, compositions and medicaments, for example as inhibitors of the activity of RIP2 kinase, including degrading RIP2 kinase, the treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by the RIP2 kinase, in particular for the treatment of inflammatory diseases or conditions.

The presently described technology provides methods of treating a patient having moderate to severe pain, narcotic or opioid abuse or narcotic or opioid withdrawal. The presently described methods are carried out by comprising administering to the patient a pharmaceutically effective amount of a composition comprising acetaminophen and benzoate-hydrocodone hydrochloride. The composition has reduced side effects when compared with unconjugated hydrocodone.

The present disclosure relates to steroidal glucocorticoid receptor (GR) ligands and related compositions that degrade the GR and/or modulate its activity that may be utilized as pharmaceuticals for the treatment of diseases including cancer.

Described are combination therapies and metabolically-activated drug conjugates and their use in treating cancer in subjects.

Provided herein are small molecules comprising a first domain that binds to ASH1L and a second domain that facilitates ASH1L degradation. In particular, ASH1L-targeting proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) and methods of use thereof for the treatment of disease (e.g., acute leukemia, solid cancers and other diseases dependent on activity of ASH1L) are provided.

Provided herein are small molecules that bind to ASH1L and inhibit ASH1L activity, and methods of use thereof for the treatment of disease, including acute leukemia, solid cancers and other diseases dependent on activity of ASH1L.

The present invention relates to a new drug delivery strategy based on prodrug conversion, in which a water-soluble prodrug and its converting enzyme are co-delivered and at a point of administration such as the nasal or buccal mucosa. Enzymatic conversion of the prodrug produces drug in concentrations exceeding the drug's thermodynamic solubility, or saturation level. The supersaturated drug crosses the mucosal membrane quickly, as a result of its high thermodynamic activity, prior to crystallization. This strategy is particularly useful when fast action is required, for example in preventing or responding rapidly to Status Epilepticus (SE) or other central nervous system conditions such as migraine.
