  • Publication number: 20140275224
    Abstract: Compounds and methods are provided for enhancing or boosting the transfection rate or efficiency of mammalian cells by foreign DNA, such as bacterial plasmid DNA. Compounds, including natural products and inventive synthetic compounds can increase the effectiveness of uptake and incorporation of foreign DNA by mammalian cells, such as human cells, by suppression of DNA cytosine deamination, which is believed to be a mechanism by which these cells eliminate foreign DNA. Inhibition of the cytosine deaminase enzymes by compounds as described herein serves to provide more effective transfection of eukaryotic cells by plasmids including engineered gene sequences. Transfection can be used to study cellular processes, or to cure genetic diseases in human patients. The inventive materials and methods increase the efficiency and effectiveness of such transfection techniques.

  • Publication number: 20140213620
    Abstract: In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents, the present invention provides novel histone deacetylase inhibitors. These compounds include an ester bond making them sensitive to deactivation by esterases. Therefore, these compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of skin disorders. When the compounds reaches the bloodstream, an esterase or an enzyme with esterase activity cleaves the compound into biologically inactive fragments or fragments with greatly reduced activity Ideally these degradation products exhibit a short serum and/or systemic half-life and are eliminated rapidly. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are particularly useful in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, neurofibromatosis, psoriasis, hair loss, skin pigmentation, and dermatitis, for example. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention and intermediates thereto.
