  • Patent number: 8680097
    Abstract: The invention discloses benzothiophene alkanol piperazine derivatives and their use as antidepressants. The invention discloses the said benzothiophene alkanol piperazine derivative having triple inhibition effect on the reuptake of 5-HT, NA and DA. Compared with clinical used antidepressants so far having single target, e.g. desipramine and fluoxetine, and clinical used antidepressants so far having double targets, e.g venlafaxine and duloxetine, the said benzothiophene alkanol piperazine derivatives of the present invention may have a broader indication range and less toxic and side effects to nervous system. The benzothiophene alkanol piperazine derivatives are the compounds with the following formula or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, wherein Ar1, R1-R4, X, Y, m and n have the same definition as defined in claim 1.

  • Publication number: 20140079636
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmacological compounds including an effector moiety conjugated to an binding moiety that directs the effector moiety to a biological target of interest. Likewise, the present invention provides compositions, kits, and methods (e.g., therapeutic, diagnostic, and imaging) including the compounds. The compounds can be described as a protein interacting binding moiety-drug conjugate (SDC-TRAP) compounds, which include a protein interacting binding moiety and an effector moiety. For example, in certain embodiments directed to treating cancer, the SDC-TRAP can include an Hsp90 inhibitor conjugated to a cytotoxic agent as the effector moiety.
