  • Patent number: 8658170
    Abstract: Provided is a method of treating a proliferative disease, condition, or disorder in a subject by administering a combination of an inhibitor of p53 and MDM2 binding and an EGFR inhibitor. Various embodiments of the disclosed methods provide a synergistic anti-proliferative or anti-apoptotic effect compared to administration of one agent alone.

  • Patent number: 8618302
    Abstract: Provided herein are compounds having anti-proliferative effect. Also provided are compounds that can modulate the activity of multi-domain proteins comprising a dimerization arm and interdomain tether, such as EGFR, where an untethered, extended conformation is the active state and a tethered conformation is the inactive state, resulting in an autoinhibited configuration. Also provided are methods and pharmacophores for identifying such compounds. Other aspects provide methods or therapeutic treatment for proliferative diseases, disorders, or conditions, such as those associated with EGFR.

  • Publication number: 20080015194
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for developing one or more drugs for one or more targeted therapies and compositions derived therefrom. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, combinatorial chemistry techniques for use with high throughput screening techniques for identifying small molecule affinity and/or activity interactions are avoided by instead utilizing the natural mechanisms of antigen response to effect a massively parallel screening of naturally occurring molecules against an antigen. Other aspects of the invention provide compositions derived therefrom as well as therapeutic methods of use for the compounds.
