Abstract: Aryl phosphate derivatives of d4T with para-bromo substitution on the aryl group show markedly increased potency as anti-HIV agents without undesirable levels of cytotoxic activity. In particular, these derivatives are potent inhibitors of HIV reverse transcriptase. In a preferred aspect of the present invention, the phosphorus of the aryl phosphate group is further substituted with an amino acid residue that may be esterified or substituted, such as a methoxy alaninyl group.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition adapted for use as a spermicide, the composition comprising a gel-microemulsion comprising an oil-in-water microemulsion and a polymeric hydrogel. The gel-microemulsion can be used in a spermicidal method. Also, a gel-microemulsion pharmaceutical composition adapted for use as a formulation base for additional therapeutic agents. Examples of additional agents include, anti-microbial agents and spermicidal agents. Such gel-microemulsions with additional therapeutic agents can be used in methods for appropriate therapeutic treatment. Also, a gel-microemulsion pharmaceutical composition that is adapted for use as both a spermicide and formulation base for anti-microbial agents to provide a dual function contraceptive/anti-microbial formulation. Method of using such a composition as a dual function contraceptive/anti-microbial formulation are also included.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating cancer and compounds that are useful for the treatment of tumors, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and synthetic methods and intermediates useful for preparing the compounds.

Abstract: Compounds are described that bind to tubulin causing tubulin depolymerization and inhibiting tubulin polymerization. The compounds of the invention are therapeutically effective to inhibit cellular proliferation, for example, as effective anti-cancer agents. The compounds can also induce cytotoxicity in cells such as leukemia cells. The chemical structure of the compounds includes a furan, thiophene, thiazole, oxazole, or imidazole group at one end of the molecule (head) and a hydrophobic, aliphatic chain at the other end of the molecule (tail).
