  • Patent number: 9657024
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are erythropoietin-mimetic compounds of Formula I, which modulate the survival, function, or differentiation of, for example, kidney cells, neurons, erythroid cells, or other erythropoietin-responsive cells. The present invention also relates to compounds and methods that preferentially modulate cells expressing the tissue-protective erythropoietin receptor. The compounds of the invention are useful in preventing and treating diseases, such as anemia, organ injury, and diseases of the central nervous system, and as an adjunct to cellular treatments, such as stem cell therapies.

  • Patent number: 6861419
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to substituted 1,4-thiazepine and analogs thereof, represented by the general Formula I: wherein the dashed lines, A1, A2, A3, X1 and R1 are defined herein. The present invention also relates to the discovery that compounds having Formula I are activators of capases and inducers of apoptosis. Therefore, the activators of caspases and inducers of apoptosis of this invention can be used to induce cell death in a variety of clinical conditions in which uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells occurs.
