Abstract: Use of H3K9me3 modulation for enhancing cognitive function and treating anxiety related disorders is presented. A composition is administered to the subject comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a SUV39H1 inhibitor comprising analogs of ETP69. The therapeutically effective amount is effective in treating cognitive dysfunction in aging and age-related disorders.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to novel isatin derivative compounds and the pharmaceutical composition thereof. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods of using the isatin derivative compounds disclosed herein and the pharmaceutical compositions thereof. In certain embodiments, the method is used to treat a cancer or a tumor in a subject including, without limitation, prostate cancer, melanoma, pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and lymphoma. In certain embodiment, the method is used to treat a condition in a subject that can be regulated by the activation of one or more proteins such as EGFR, Erk1/2, Her2/Neu, Jak2, Src, Stat3, Akt, Cyclin B1, and Cdc25C. In certain embodiment, the method is used to treat a condition in a subject that can be regulated by the disruption of microtubule formations.
