  • Patent number: 11767341
    Abstract: Provided are lincosamide compounds for the treatment of infectious diseases. The lincosamides described herein are modified at the amino acid (southern) region. The lincosamides may have further modification at the C-1 and C-7 positions of the aminooctose (northern) region, thus distinguishing them from lincomycin and clindamycin. Also provided are methods for preparing the lincosamide compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the lincosamide compounds, and methods of treating infectious diseases using the disclosed lincosamide compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 26, 2023
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: Andrew G. Myers, Matthew James Mitcheltree, Katherine J. Silvestre
  • Publication number: 20230203081
    Abstract: Provided are compounds of Formula (I) for the treatment of infectious and inflammatory diseases. The compounds described herein are lincosamides modified at the amino acid (southern) region. The compounds may have further modification at the C-7 position of the aminooctose (northern) region, thus distinguishing them from lincomycin and clindamycin. Also provided are methods for preparing the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of treating infectious diseases using the disclosed compounds.

  • Patent number: 9283242
    Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising a dihydro base described herein (e.g., compound DHdC). The dihydro base may show multiple tautomerism and may increase mutation of an RNA and/or DNA of a virus or cancer cell. The dihydro base may be used to reduce DNA methylation (e.g., in a cancer cell). The present invention also provides kits including the inventive pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating a viral infection (e.g., influenza, HIV infection, or hepatitis C) or cancer using the pharmaceutical compositions or kits.
