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, FcγRI, 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.
