SUBSTITUTED FUSED PYRIMIDINE COMPOUNDS AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed are new small molecules having a substituted pyrimidine or substituted fused pyrimidine core structure and the uses thereof for modulating glucocerebrosidase activity. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the small molecules which may be administered in methods of treating diseases or disorders associated with glucocerebrosidase activity, including Gaucher's disease and neurological diseases and disorders such as genetic and sporadic synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multiple system atrophy associated with aberrant glucocerebrosidase activity. The small molecules may contain a fluorophore or may be conjugated to a fluorophore in order to prepare a fluorescent probe for use in high throughput screening methods to identify new modulators of glucocerebrosidase activity via fluorescence polarization.
