  • Patent number: 11884657
    Abstract: Compounds and methods are provided for the treatment of pathogen infections. In some embodiments, the anti-infective compounds have broad spectrum activity against a variety of infective diseases, where the diseases are caused by pathogens containing a basic amino acid PIP-2 pincer (BAAPP) domain that interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP-2) to mediate pathogen replication. Also provided are methods of inhibiting a PI4-kinase and methods of inhibiting viral infection. In some embodiments, the compound is a PI4-kinase inhibiting compound that is a 5-aryl-thiazole or a 5-heteroaryl-thiazole. The subject compounds may be formulated or provided to a subject in combination with a second anti-infective agent, e.g. interferon, ribavirin, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20180338993
    Abstract: Tipifarnib or a tipifarnib derivative is used to treat HDV infection as a monotherapy or in combination with an interferon and/or boosting agent such as a CYP3A4 inhibitor such as ritonavir and cobicistal. This invention arises in part out of the surprising discoveries that not all prenyltransferase inhibitors are efficacious in treating HDV infection and that tipifarnib (Rl 15777) and tipifarnib derivatives such as R208176 can be administered at a dose efficacious in humans. This invention accordingly provides a method of inhibiting HDV replication in a human subject known to be co-infected with HBV and HDV by administering a therapeutically effective dose of tipifarnib, R208176 and other therapeutically effective tipifarnib derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and other forms.
