  • Patent number: 8080659
    Abstract: The invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use of certain compounds that are antagonists of the chemokine CXCR4 receptor for the treatment of proliferative conditions mediated by CXCR4 receptors or for the treatment of viral infections. The compounds provided interfere with the binding of SDF1 to the receptor. These compounds are particularly useful for treating or reducing the severity of hyperproliferative diseases by inhibiting metastasis, or for reducing entry of HIV in to a cell while not reducing the capacity of the stem cells to proliferate. The compounds may be useful for long term treatment regimes.

  • Patent number: 8067424
    Abstract: This invention provides a class of compounds which are useful for specifically inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. This class of compounds finds use in treating diseases resulting from inappropriate activity of cyclin-dependent kinases, including cancer, viral infections (e.g., HIV) neurodegenerative disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's disease), and cardiovascular disorders (e.g. atherosclerosis). Moreover, certain members of this class are particularly useful for inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinase 7 and are especially useful for the treatment of breast cancer.

  • Patent number: 8008312
    Abstract: The invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use of certain compounds that are antagonists of the chemokine CXCR4 receptor, and in particular to inhibit viral entry of certain viruses. Certain compounds in particular can reduce entry of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into a cell while not reducing the capacity of stem cells to proliferate, and therefore can be useful for long term treatment regimes. The compounds are useful in particular in the treatment or prevention of HIV infections.
