The invention also relates to crystalline forms of the compound (2S,3S)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[(1R)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-fluoro-5-[(1S)-1-hydroxy-1-(oxan-4-yl)propyl]-1-methoxy-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindol-2-yl]-2-methylpropanoic acid and its salts.

Abstract: The invention provides a compound of formula (I): or tautomer or a solvate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the various substituents are as defined in the claims. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds of formula (I), processes for making the compounds and the medical uses of the compounds.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and compositions that employ FKBP-L polypeptides for modulating angiogenesis and/or tumor metastasis. The FKBP-L polypeptides may be used for the treatment of disorders mediated by angiogenesis such as cancer.

Abstract: Compounds of formula (I) and salts thereof: wherein R1, R2, R3, a, X1, X2, X3, X4, and X5 are as defined hereinbefore. Compounds of formula (I) and salts thereof have been found to inhibit the binding of the BET family of bromodomain containing proteins to, for example, acetylated lysine residues and thus may have use in therapy, for example in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis; and cancers.

Abstract: In some examples, a wireless controller is utilized within a wireless mesh network. The wireless controller includes a control module configured to manage at least one energy device via a pneumatic pressure line based on one or more parts of an energy profile; and a network interface module configured to transmit energy data to a management server and receive the one or more parts of the energy profile from the management server.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods that employ FKBPL as a marker for a subject's sensitivity to endocrine therapies in the treatment of cancers, and as a predictive marker of cancer progression and disease free survival in relation to hormone responsive cancers.

Abstract: Described is an N-terminal hexapeptide fragment of maximakinin, QUB 698.8, which exhibits potent tissue selective actions on smooth muscle. It demonstrates a high degree of selectivity for arterial smooth muscle over small intestinal smooth muscle, causing potent relaxation of arterial smooth muscle, while causing less potent contraction of ileal smooth muscle. It may be used treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system and in promotion of angiogenesis.

Abstract: A bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist peptide, kinestatin, isolated from toad (Bombina maxima) defensive skin secretion, and analogs thereof, is disclosed. The structure of kinestatin is pGlu-Leu/Ile-Pro-Gly-Leu/Ile-Gly-Pro-Leu/Ile-Arg-NH2. Also disclosed are kinestatin analogs, prodrugs including the peptides, fusion peptides and multimeric peptides including the peptide sequences, pharmaceutical compositions including kinestatin and analogs thereof, prodrugs, fusion and multimeric peptides thereof, nucleic acids encoding kinestatin and analogs thereof, and nucleic acids encoding the fusion and multimeric peptides. Kinestatin and analogs thereof (including the prodrugs and multimeric and/or fusion peptides) can be used to treat and/or prevent disorders associated with bradykinin, including cardiovascular disorders, inflammation, asthma, allergic rhinitis, pain, angiogenesis and the like.

Abstract: Fertility problems affect (1 in 10) couples in Western society, making it one of the most common serious health issues. Despite this, little is known about the causes of infertility, and thus patient counseling and treatment are suboptimal. With infertility being such a common problem, identification of any cause would impact on a large number of patients, allowing better counseling, clearer diagnoses and the possibility of making more informed choices (e.g. adoption vs. IVF treatment). The present invention provides methods to identify a cause of infertility in a subject based on the genotype of the subject, in particular, by evaluating the status of the gene encoding FK506 binding protein-like (FKBPL). In particular, the present invention relates to use of the status of the gene encoding FK506 binding protein-like for identification of a cause of an infertile phenotype in a subject.
