Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and methods of treatment and prevention of Hepacivirus, Pestivirus, Flavivirus or Alphavirus infection are disclosed. The compounds are pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridines and pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyrimidine JAK inhibitors. Combinations of these JAK inhibitors and additional antiretroviral compounds, such as NRTI, NNRTI, integrase inhibitors, entry inhibitors, protease inhibitors, and the like, are also disclosed. In one embodiment, the combinations include a combination of adenine, cytosine, thymidine, and guanine nucleoside antiviral agents, optionally in further combination with at least one additional antiviral agent that works via a different mechanism than a nucleoside analog. This combination has the potential to eliminate the presence of Hepacivirus, Pestivirus, Flavivirus or Alphavirus in an infected patient.

Abstract: Tri-phenyl-phosphonium (TPP) is a non-toxic chemical moiety that functionally behaves as a mitochondrial targeting signaling in living cells. TPP-related compounds may be utilized to target mitochondria in cancer stem cells (CSC5), and may be used for treating and/or preventing tumor recurrence, metastasis, drug resistance, and/or radiotherapy resistance, as well as for anticancer therapies. Various TPP-related compounds validated for oxygen consumption inhibition (OCR), were non-toxic, and had little or no effect on ATP production in normal human fibroblasts. Yet these compounds selectively target adherent “bulk” cancer cells. These compounds also inhibit the propagation of CSCs in suspension. TPP-related compounds provide a novel chemical strategy for effectively targeting both i) “bulk” cancer cells and ii) CSCs, while specifically minimizing or avoiding off-target side-effects in normal cells, among other useful therapies.
