  • Compounds That Bind Oxysterol Binding Proteins, and Methods of Use Thereof
    Publication number: 20110319352
    Abstract: The invention relates in part to the discovery that certain CRAMs, such as schweinfurthin A, target OSBPs (a family of oxysterol binding proteins). Because OSBPs have been shown to be integral to atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease (AD), one aspect of the invention relates to the use of CRAMs, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, biologically active metabolite, solvate, hydrate, prodrug, enantiomer or stereoisomer thereof, in the treatment and/or prevention of atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Another aspect of the invention relates to novel derivatives of CRAMs, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, biologically active metabolite, solvate, hydrate, prodrug, enantiomer or stereoisomer thereof, for the treatment and/or prevention of atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of an immobilized CRAMs, such as OSW-I, to aid in screening of compounds to identify additional OSBP binders.
