  • Publication number: 20240207253
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds which have been identified, as inhibitors of the expression of CDR1 (Cdr1p) and/or CDR2 (Cdr2p), both ABC-type plasma, membrane transporters, which are major contributor to antifungal therapy resistance. These compounds may be used in the treatment of fungal infections, especially Candida infections, either alone or in combination with azole antifungal agents such as fluconazole, itraconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole and the like. Often the inhibitor compounds described herein are useful for reversing the antifungal therapy resistance exhibited by the overexpression of CDR1 and/or CDR2 in strains of fungi, especially including Candida spp. Combination therapy and compositions for treating fungal infections, especially including azole resistant fungal infections represent important embodiments of the present invention.

  • Patent number: 11149028
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for treating cancers, such as melanoma and/or metastatic melanoma, using compounds that interact with and/or inhibit cellular proteins lamin A/C, ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX1 (DDX1), heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein H1/H2 (hnRNP H2), and/or heterogeneous nuclear ribonuclear protein A2/B1 (hnRNP A2/B1). The invention additionally provides a method for identifying compounds active against melanoma cells.

  • Patent number: 11014876
    Abstract: Cancer is a disease for which there remains a great unmet medical need, and therefore the discovery and development of new antineoplastic agents is critically important. The present invention relates in part to new therapeutic compounds with antineoplastic activity. Provided herein are polyamine sulfonamides such as compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which may be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases such as cancer. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the inventive compounds. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., cancer) using compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Other methods provided include methods for inducing apoptosis of a cell, as well as methods for inhibiting alpha-enolase enzymatic activity in vivo and in vitro.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20200179361
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions including a ?4?2 nAChR antagonist, pharmaceutical compositions including a ?4?2 nAChR antagonist, methods of making the compositions or pharmaceutical compositions, methods of treatment of a condition (e.g., nicotine addiction) or disease, methods of treatment using compositions or pharmaceutical compositions, and the like. Embodiments of the present disclosure can be used to reduce nicotine cravings and treat nicotine addiction. The compositions have selective affinity for the ?4?2 receptor, which appears to be involved in nicotine dependence.
