Abstract: There is provided modulators of Nrf2 protein which comprises a compound which binds at least one of the BTB domain, IVR domain and Kelch domain of Keap1 protein, activating or inhibiting Nrf2. There is also provided pharmaceutical compositions containing the modulators, as well as uses and method of use of the modulators for the treatment of conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the following compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The compound is a modulator of Nrf2 protein and binds at least one of the BTB domain, IVR domain and Kelch domain of Keap1 protein, activating or inhibiting Nrf2.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the synthesis of a series of ionone and curcumin derivatives as multi-targeting agents effective against both hormone-sensitive and hormone-independent cancers. In particular, the present invention is directed to a distinct class of bifunctional antiandrogens, which inhibit both AR and IKBkinases (IKK). A series of ionone-based chalcones were synthesized and their in vitro cytotoxicity against prostate cancer cell lines were demonstrated. A series of derivatives formed by reacting ionone-based chalcones and hydrazines demonstrate substantial antiproliferative activities in prostate cancer, breast cancer and lung cancer cell lines.

Abstract: The present document describes a cancer mutation-selective chemosensitizer that comprise compounds for restoring association between mutated keap1 protein and Nrf2 protein, and inhibition of Nrf2 functions. The present document also describes composition of matter containing the compounds, as well as methods of medical treatment for treating diseases such as cancer with the compounds.
