Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method, kit, system and fusion protein for detecting binding to an ADP-ribosyl group or a polymer thereof, wherein said group or polymer is coupled to a peptide or protein, the method comprising the steps of: i) providing a first entity comprising a first label or tag, said entity comprising an amino acid sequence comprising a cysteine residue whereto at least one ADP-ribosyl group or an analog thereof is coupled via an S-glycosidic bond; ii) contacting in an assay said first entity with a second entity, said second entity being or suspected of being capable of binding to an ADP-ribosyl group or polymer thereof coupled to a peptide or protein; and iii) measuring a signal derived from said first label or localized by said tag, wherein the signal detected is different or is localized differently when said second entity binds to said at least one ADP-ribosyl group of the first entity from the signal detected when the binding interaction between said second entity and said A

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), tautomers, stereoisomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pro-drugs thereof, to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to their use in therapy wherein a dashed line indicates an optional bond; X represents: a 5- or 6-membered, unsaturated heterocyclic group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g. 1, 2 or 3) substituents independently selected from halogen (i.e. F, Cl, Br, I), C1-6 alkyl (e.g. C1-3 alkyl), C1-6 haloalkyl (e.g. C1-3 haloalkyl), C1-6 alkoxy (e.g. C1-3 alkoxy), —CN, —NO2, —N(R)2, and —SO2R (where each R is independently H or C1-6 alkyl, e.g. H or C1-3 alkyl); a C3-5 cycloalkyl group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g. 1 or 2) substituents independently selected from C1-6 alkyl (preferably C1-3 alkyl), C1-6 haloalkyl (e.g. C1-3 haloalkyl), and C1-6 alkoxy (e.g. C1-3 alkoxy); or an aryl group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of general formula (I), tautomers, stereoisomers, N-oxides, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and pro-drug thereof, to processes for their preparation, to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds and to their use in therapy: wherein: a dashed line indicates an optional bond; X represents: a 5- or 6-membered, unsaturated heterocyclic group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g. 1, 2 or 3) substituents independently selected from halogen (i.e. F, Cl, Br, I), C1-6 alkyl (e.g. C1-3 alkyl), C1-6 haloalkyl (e.g. C1-3 haloalkyl), C1-6 alkoxy (e.g. C1-3 alkoxy), —CN, —NO2, —N(R)2, and —SO2R (where each R is independently H or C1-6 alkyl, e.g. H or C1-3 alkyl); a C3-5 cycloalkyl group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g. 1 or 2) substituents independently selected from C1-6 alkyl (preferably C1-3 alkyl), C1-6 haloalkyl (e.g. C1-3 haloalkyl), and C1-6 alkoxy (e.g. C1-3 alkoxy); or an aryl group optionally substituted by one or more (e.g.

Abstract: It is an aim of the present invention to provide inhibitors of human diphtheria toxin-like ADP-ribosyltransferases, such as ARTD10, for use as a medicine. It is another aim of the invention to provide compounds for use as human mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase (mARTD) inhibitors in vitro. In the present invention, it has been discovered that human ARTD10, which belongs to an enzyme family linked to cancer biology, can be specifically inhibited by the benzamide comprising compounds disclosed in the invention, such as 4,4?-oxydibenzamide.
