Abstract: The present invention pertains generally to the field of therapeutic compounds. More specifically the present invention pertains to certain 3-aryl-5-substituted-2/-/-isoquinolin-1-one compounds that, inter alia, inhibit PARP (e.g., PARP1, TNKS1, TNKS2, etc.) and/or Wnt signalling. The present invention also pertains to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, and the use of such compounds and compositions, both in vitro and in vivo, to inhibit PARP (e.g., PARP1, TNKS1, TNKS2, etc.); to inhibit Wnt signalling; to treat disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of PARP (e.g., PARP1, TNKS1, TNKS2, etc.); to treat disorders that are ameliorated by the inhibition of Wnt signalling; to treat proliferative conditions such as cancer, etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of sulfonamides which are aspartyl protease inhibitors. In one embodiment, this invention relates to a novel class of HIV aspartyl protease inhibitors characterized by specific structural and physicochemical features. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention are particularly well suited for inhibiting HIV-1 and HIV-2 protease activity and consequently, may be advantageously used as anti-viral agents against the HIV-1 and HIV-2 viruses. This invention also relates to methods for inhibiting the activity of HIV aspartyl protease using the compounds of this invention and methods for screening compounds for anti-HIV activity.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein: W is arylene, heteroarylene or formula (a) each L is independently alkylene, alkenylene, alkynylene, a direct bond, arylene, cycloalkylene, alkylene-arylene, alkylene-C?O or —C?O; each X is independently an N-containing heteroarylene, N-containing cycloalkylene or NR; Y is N-containing heteroaryl, N-containing cycloalkyl, NR2, OR1, CN or CO2R; Z1 is formula (b); are useful in therapy, particularly in the therapy of neurodegeneration and cancer.

Abstract: A novel method for the preparation of a compound of formula (I) from an N—protected-D-mannosamine. A compound of formula (I) is a useful intermediate for the preparation of kiftnensine, a potent and selective mannosidase inhibitor. The method includes protecting the hydroxyl group at the C-6 position of an N—protected-D-mannosamine, to give a 6—O—protected—N—protected-D-mannosamine; reducing the C-1 anomeric carbon atom of the 6—O—protected—N—protected-D-mannosamine to give a 6—O—protected—N—protected-D-mannitol; protecting the four hydroxyl groups of the 6—O—protected—N—protected-D-mannitol; and removing the nitrogen atom protecting group and optionally removing the C-6 oxygen atom protecting group to give the compound of formula (I): where R1 and R2 are each independently protecting groups which, together with the oxygen atoms to which they are attached, form a 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-membered ring; and R3 is hydrogen or a protecting group.

Abstract: The invention provides novel compounds of formula (I) wherein all variables are as defined in the specification, that are useful as inhibitors of aspartyl proteases.
