  • Publication number: 20150018330
    Abstract: The invention provides novel antimicrobial chemical entities based on a nitrothiazolide backbone that exhibit antibacterial and antiparasitic action against a wide range of human pathogens. The new classes of compounds show extended action against Gram positive bacteria including MRSA drug resistant pathogens. In the Gram-positive organisms, they specifically target and functionally inhibit microbial attachment to surfaces and biofilm formation. In Gram-negative bacteria, including enteroaggregative E. coli strains, these compounds function as pilicides by inhibiting the assembly of pilin subunits into adhesive filaments. Several of these compounds show potent antimicrobial action against Gram positive bacteria, perhaps involving novel targets. Many of the benzothiophene derivatives exhibit antimicrobial activity in the low micrograms per ml range and in blocking biofilm formation in the nanomolar range; ranges considered are well within the range of utility as therapeutics.

    Abstract: Fatostatin, a recently described inhibitor of SREBP activation, significantly reduces the level of mutant p53 binding to the HMG-CoA reductase gene promoter. Further, fatostatin treatment had a dramatic effect on normalizing the abnormal 3D morphology of 3 strains of breast cancer cells: MDA-468 cells, MDA-231 cells, and SKBR3 cells. The results show a functional interaction with SREBPs as being critical for mutant p53-mediated upregulation of the mevalonate pathway genes. At a clinical level, inhibition of the mevalonate pathway, either alone or in combination with other therapies, offers a novel, safe and much needed therapeutic option for tumors bearing mutant p53.
