Pyrrolopyrimidine compounds and uses thereof for modulating glucocerebrosidase activity

Abstract

Disclosed are new small molecules having a pyrrolopyrimidine 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 neurological diseases and disorders such as Gaucher's disease and Parkinson's disease. The small molecules may be utilized to generate activated glucocerebrosidase. The activated glucocerebrosidase thusly generated can be administered in enzyme replacement therapy and/or utilized in screening assays for new small molecules that bind to the activated glucocerebrosidase and/or modulate the activity of the activated glucocerebrosidase.
