Abstract: Disclosed are nicotine-related compounds that selectively inhibit cytochrome P-450 2A6 (CYP2A6), selectively inhibit cytochrome P-450 2A13 (CYP2A13), and/or selectively modulate a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention, as well as methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions for treating or preventing a disease or disorder associated with nicotine-ingestion, or a disease or disorder amenable to treatment by selective modulation of nAChRs.
Abstract: Disclosed are analgesic-related compositions and methods of using the compositions for modulation of analgesic receptor activity. The compositions and methods are useful for reducing pain, as well as for therapeutic intervention of addictions or other diseases or disorders amenable to treatment or prophylaxis by modulation of analgesic receptor signaling.
Abstract: A method to identify selective inhibitors of antigen receptor-mediated NF-?B activation is provided, as well as compositions having one or more of those inhibitors and methods of using those inhibitors.
