Abstract: Provided herein are Compounds having the following structure: wherein A, L, X and ring B are as defined herein, compositions comprising an effective amount of a Compound and methods for treating or preventing cancer, hypoxia, diabetes, stroke, autoimmune disease or a condition treatable or preventable by inhibition of Chk2, the ATM-Chk2 pathway or RSK2 comprising administering an effective amount of a Compound to a patient in need thereof.

Abstract: Novel ApoE peptide derivatives and ApoE-protein transduction domain conjugates are disclosed which are useful for treating disorders including CNS inflammation, traumatic brain injury, inflammatory bowel disease (also known as Crohn's Disease or ulcerative colitis), cerebral ischemia, atherosclerosis, sepsis, multiple sclerosis and arthritic diseases, Alzheimer's Disease and other brain disorders. The invention encompasses methods for protecting subjects having undergone irradiation or radiotherapy by administration of ApoE or at least one ApoE mimetic peptide.

Abstract: The present invention describes compounds comprising new and useful peptides and peptidomimetics that can bind to CD23. They are capable of reducing inflammatory responses associated with auto-immune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, allergies and other inflammatory conditions such as those mediated by the mammalian immune system. Compounds of the present invention relate to a CD23-binding peptide wherein said peptide comprises an amino-acid sequence of X1—X2—X3—X4—X5—X6—X7—X8, wherein: X1 is Phe, or is absent; X2 is His or Ala; X3 is Glu, Ser, Ala, Asn, Lys, or Cys; X4 is Asn, Phe, Gln, Pro, Ser, or Ala; X5 is Trp; X6 is Pro, Arg, Glu, Gly, Cys, or Lys; X7 is Ser, Pro, Leu, Thr Ala, Gly, Asn, or absent; and X8 is Phe, Gly, or is absent.

Abstract: Provided herein are novel compounds, pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and methods for their use. In particular, the compounds described herein are useful for the treatment or prevention of diseases associated with T cell proliferation such as autoimmune diseases and disorders.

Abstract: Novel ApoE-protein transduction domain conjugates are disclosed which are useful for treating disorders including CNS inflammation, traumatic brain injury, cerebral ischema, Alzheimer's Disease and other brain disorders.
