  • Publication number: 20220024891
    Abstract: The present disclosure reports an extensive medicinal chemistry evaluation of a large collection of Truncating APC-Selective Inhibitor (TASIN) compounds. The compounds were evaluated for activity against a series of colon cancer cell lines with and without truncating APC-mutations, as well as in an isogenic cell line pair reporting on the status of APC-dependent selectivity. A number of very potent and selective compounds were identified, including compounds with good metabolic stability and PK properties. The small molecules reported herein thus represent a first-in-class genotype-selective series that specifically target ape mutations present in the vast majority of CRC patients, and therefore serves as a translational platform towards a potential targeted therapy for colon cancer.

  • Patent number: 10183011
    Abstract: This technology relates generally to compounds and methods for stimulating neurogenesis (e.g., post-natal neurogenesis, including post-natal hippocampal and hypothalamic neurogenesis) and/or protecting neuronal cell from cell death. Various compounds are disclosed herein. In vivo activity tests suggest that these compounds may have therapeutic benefits in neuropsychiatric and/or neurodegenerative diseases such as schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, normal aging, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Down syndrome, spinocerebellar ataxia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, stroke, radiation therapy, chronic stress, abuse of a neuro-active drug, retinal degeneration, spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, physiological weight loss associated with various conditions, as well as cognitive decline associated with normal aging, chemotherapy, and the like.
