  • Publication number: 20070249682
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel CD40:CD154 binding interrupter compounds and use of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, to treat conditions associated with inappropriate CD154 activation in a subject. Specifically, this invention provides compounds which are identified by screening a library of small molecules for those that are capable of specifically binding CD154 and interrupting CD40:CD154 interaction.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20060035966
    Abstract: In one embodiment, this invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). The SARM compounds have unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. In one embodiment, the SARM compounds bind irreversibly to the androgen receptor In another embodiment, the SARM compounds are androgen receptor antagonists, which bind irreversibly to the androgen receptor. In another embodiment, the SARM compounds are alkylating agents.
