Abstract: The present disclosure provides SL and SL derivatives comprising a polar substituent adjacent to the lactone ring. Additionally, the present disclosure provides methods of using the SL and SL derivatives to inhibit the growth of leukemic cancer cells.

Abstract: Provided herein is a tocol rich fraction of rice bran oil deodorized distillate that is shown to be both radioprotective and able to protect against oxidative damage. This fraction may prove an inexpensive and readily available extract that can be used to prepare pharmaceutical compositions for use in protecting against radiation exposure and/or other forms of oxidative stress.

Abstract: The present invention provides dehydroleucodine derivatives. In particular, the present invention provides amine derivatives of dehydroleucodine and methods of using dehydroleucodine and the amine derivatives of dehydroleucodine to inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Abstract: It has been determined that allergens, which are characterized by both humoral (IgE) and cellular (T-cell) binding sites, can be modified to be less allergenic by modifying the IgE binding sites. The IgE binding sites can be converted to non-IgE binding sites by altering as little as a single amino acid within the protein, preferably a hydrophobic residue towards the center of the IgE epitope, to eliminate IgE binding. Additionally or alternatively a modified allergen with reduced IgE binding may be prepared by disrupting one or more of the disulfide bonds that are present in the natural allergen. The disulfide bonds may be disrupted chemically, e.g., by reduction and alkylation or by mutating one or more cysteine residues present in the primary amino acid sequence of the natural allergen. In certain embodiments, modified allergens are prepared by both altering one or more linear IgE epitopes and disrupting one or more disulfide bonds of the natural allergen.
