Abstract: A method of treating an individual to increase the individual's bone mineral density (BMD) is disclosed. The method includes co-administering a calcitonin-like agent and a DHEA-like agent. Also disclosed are methods for potentiating the effect of treatment with a calcitonin-like agent on BMD and for increasing BMD in an individual being treated with DHEA, e.g., for treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Abstract: The present invention provides molecular switch system methods and compositions for use in regulatable gene expression. The system includes a nucleic acid construct which has a DNA response sequence for a transcriptional regulatory protein operably linked to a promoter, a compound binding sequence in the vicinity of the DNA response sequence, a transgene under the control of the promoter; and a DNA binding compound. In some cases, the molecular switch system further includes a nucleic acid sequence encoding a transcriptional regulatory protein operably linked to a second promoter. The invention further provides a method for screening compounds for the ability to function in the molecular switch system and thereby regulate gene expression.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and intermediates for the preparation of 7-(2?-R1-substituted-?-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-amino-5-(optionally substituted ethyn-1-yl)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds. These compounds are useful in treating viral infections caused by a flaviviridae family virus, such as hepatitis C virus. Such 7-(2?-substituted-?-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-amino-5-(optionally substituted ethyn-1-yl)-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine compounds are represented by Formula I as follows: wherein, each of R1, R2, and R3 are as defined herein.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds possessing antibacterial, and/or antifungal activities. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds, methods of making and methods for using these compounds are also provided.

Abstract: Viral proteins derived from an enterically transmitted non-A/non-B viral hepatitis agent (HEV) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the protein is immunologically reactive with antibodies present in individuals infected with the viral hepatitis agent. This protein is useful in a diagnostic method for detecting infection by the enterically transmitted agent. Specific epitopes have been identified that are reactive with sera of individual infected with different strains of HEV. Also disclosed are DNA probes derived from a cloned sequence of the viral agent. These probes are useful for identifying and sequencing the entire viral agent and for assaying the presence of the viral agent in an infected sample, by using probe-specific amplification of virus-derived DNA fragments.

Abstract: Disclosed are 6-hydroxyamino- or a 6-alkoxyamino-7-deazapurine-ribofuranose derivatives, salts, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of use thereof for treating viral infections caused by a flaviviridae family virus, such as hepatitis C virus.
