Abstract: Disclosed are compounds and methods for preventing or treating necroinflammation associated with ferroptotic processes. The method includes inhibiting 15 lipoxygenase/phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein (15LOX/PEBP1) complex, wherein the inhibitor exhibits a higher binding affinity or binding activity for 15LOX/PEBP1 complex compared to 15LOX alone. Necroinflammation associated with ferroptotic processes causes several pathogenic conditions including upper or lower respiratory disorders, acute or chronic brain injury, renal injury, injury by radiation, neurodegenerative disorder, among others. The disclosed compounds and methods are useful in subjects diagnosed with one or more of these conditions.

Abstract: Compounds having general formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, N-oxide, or hydrate thereof are provided herein. Also provided are methods of making the compounds and methods of their use, including in treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders, and viral infections.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a compound of the formula (II) and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The variables, e.g. n, R, R3, R10, X, Y, and Z are defined herein. These compounds act as lactate dehydrogenase inhibitors and are useful for treating cancer and fibrosis. The compounds may be particularly useful for treating forms of cancer in which a metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis has occurred. The disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound of this formula and method for treating patients having cancer, fibrosis, or other conditions in which a metabolic switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis has occurred.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds that inhibit JMJD2 proteins, including those of the formula (I): wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 are as defined herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Also disclosed is a method of preventing or treating a viral infection of a host, comprising administering to the host an effective amount of an inhibitor of the JMJD2 family of histone demethylases, for example, a compound of the formula (I). The viral infection may be a primary infection, reactivation of a virus after latency in a host, or may be in a mammal that has undergone, is undergoing, or will undergo immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract: Disclosed are inhibitors of human 12-lipoxygenase of Formula (I) or (II), wherein R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined herein, that are useful in treating or preventing a 12-lipoxygenase mediated disease or disorder, e.g., diabetes. Also disclosed are a composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and at least one inhibitor of the invention, and a method of treating or preventing such disease or disorder in a mammal.

Abstract: The invention provides 1,2,5-oxadiazole-containing compounds of Formula (I), wherein R1, A, and R2 are as defined herein, that are useful in treating schistosomiasis. The invention also provides a composition comprising a pharmaceutically suitable carrier and at least one compound of the invention, and a method of treating schistosomiasis in a mammal.
