Abstract: Disclosed herein are quinoline-based compounds and method for inhibiting CDK8 or CDK19 for the intervention in diseases, disorders, and conditions. The quinoline-based composition comprise substituents at quinoline ring positions 4 and 6, wherein the substituent at position 4 is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted arylalkylamine or a substituted or unsubstituted arylhetrocyclylamine. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the substituted quinoline compositions, methods of inhibiting CDK8 or CDK19, and methods of treating CDK8/19-associated diseases, disorders, or conditions are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention provides methods for suppressing neointimal formation resulting from vascular surgery, comprising administering to a patient having vascular surgery one or more inhibitors of CDK8/19.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining the activity of an inhibitor of a target protein that has a deleterious effect on cell growth. The principle of the claimed method is that a compound that inhibits the function of an overexpressed protein will relieve the detrimental effect of such overexpression in a concentration-dependent manner, thereby allowing the determination of the activity of the compound in inhibiting its target protein in live cells.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for treating a disease or disorder in a mammal which is caused by induced NFkB transcriptional activity in cells of the mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal a compound that specifically inhibits one or more of CDK8 and CDK19.

Abstract: The invention relates to compounds for inhibiting the Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor (CDKI) pathway. More particularly, the invention relates to compounds for inhibiting the CDKI pathway for studies of and intervention in senescence-related and other CDKI-related diseases.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for high-throughput screening for compounds that modulate cell growth or promoter activity. The invention provides the use of cell lines with properly regulated promoter-reporter expression, suitable for high-throughput screening. More particularly, the invention relates to such screening to identify compounds that affect cell growth and/or that modulate the effect of cell cycle arrest on the function of a promoter that is responsive to cell cycle inhibition.
