The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

The present invention provides PRMT5 inhibitors of Formula (I), wherein R.sub.1 is a non-hydrogen monovalent group; W is a direct bond or —NH—; T, U, and V are independently of each other selected from C and N; R.sub.2 is H or a halo; m is 1 or 2; X is a carbon, a nitrogen, or an oxygen; Y is C or N; Z is a direct bond or a carbon; R.sub.3 is H, a non-hydrogen monovalent group, an oxo group, a bivalent spiro ring-forming group, or a bivalent bridge-forming group; n is 1 or 2; and Formula (II) stands for a single bond or a double bond. Pharmaceutical products comprising the PRMT5 inhibitors and use thereof in treating proliferative disorders such as cancer, metabolic disorders, blood disorders, autoimmune diseases, and inflammatory diseases are also provided. ##STR00001##
