Abstract: A method for reducing parasites in aquatic animals is provided. The method includes administering to the aquatic animal a compound comprising propyl propane thiosulfonate (PTSO) having the formula R—SOa-S—R, where R represents n-propyl group (—CH2—CH2—CH3) and a is 2 and also propyl propane thiosulfinate (PTS) having the formula R—SOa-S—R, where R represents n-propyl group (—CH2—CH2—CH3) and a is 1, so that a combination of PTS and PTSO is administered to the aquatic animal resulting in the reduction of a plurality of crustaceans infecting the aquatic animal in response to administering the combination of PTS and PTSO to the aquatic animal.

Abstract: Replication protein A (RPA) is a single-strand DNA-binding protein with essential roles in DNA replication, recombination and repair. Small molecule inhibitors (SMIs) with the ability to disrupt RPA binding activity to ssDNA have been identified and assessed using both lung and ovarian cancer cell lines. Lung cancer cell lines demonstrated increased apoptotic cell death following treatment with the SMI MCI13E, with IC50 values of ˜5 ?M. The A2780 ovarian cancer cell line and the p53-null lung cancer cell line HI 299 were particularly sensitive to MCI13E treatment with IC50 values below 3 ?M. Sequential treatment with MCI13E and cisplatin resulted in synergism, suggesting that decreasing RPA's DNA binding activity via a SMI may disrupt RPA's role in cell cycle regulation. Thus, RPA SMIs hold the potential to be used as single agent chemotherapeutics or in combination with current chemotherapeutic regimens to increase their efficacy.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel use of a lanostane having the following formula (I) in enhancing uptake of nutrients: wherein R1 is either H or CH3; R2 is OCOCH3, ?O or OH; R3 is H or OH; R4 is —C(?CH2)—C(CH3)2Ra, in which Ra is H or OH, or —CH?C(CH3)—Rb, in which Rb is CH3 or CH2OH; R5 is H or OH; and R6 is CH3 or CH2OH.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for treatment or metastasis suppression of cancers which includes a p34 expression inhibitor or activity inhibitor as an active ingredient. According to the present invention, the p34 protein knock-down causes monoubiquitination of PTEN and accordingly nuclear localization of PTEN is induced, as a result, an Akt pathway which is related to survival, proliferation, invasive properties and metastatic properties of tumors is inhibited, and thus there is an effect of significantly reducing clonogenic potential and tumor forming potential of various cancer cells which simultaneously express PTEN and NEDD4-1. Consequently, the p34 gene expression inhibitor or p34 protein activity inhibitor according to the present invention can be effectively used as a treatment agent or a metastasis suppression agent for cancers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of formula (I): The compound has apoptosis signal-regulating kinase (“ASK1”) inhibitory activity, and is thus useful in the treatment of diseases such as kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy and kidney fibrosis.
