  • Publication number: 20080118979
    Abstract: The present invention relates, at least in part, to the use of substituted tetracycline compounds for regulation of expression of nucleic acids operably linked to a tetracycline operator system. The invention pertains to compounds used in a regulatory system which utilizes components of the Tet repressor/operator/inducer system of prokaryotes to regulate gene expression in cells. Use of certain substituted tetracycline compounds, as featured in the methods of the invention, result in improved dose-response results when compared to those for e.g., tetracycline and doxycycline. Certain methods of the invention thus allow for enhanced control of the Tet repressor/operator/inducer system in regulating gene expression in cells.

  • Patent number: 7067681
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel chemistries which allow for heretofore unobtainable substituted tetracycline compounds which exhibit significant antibacterial activity. The methods disclosed herein utilize reactive tetracycline-based precursor compounds, reactive organic substituent precursors and transition metal catalysts under conditions such that a tetracycline compound substituted with the desired organic substituent is formed. In one embodiment of the invention, a substituted tetracycline compound may be prepared by combining a reactive tetracycline-based precursor compound such as an arene tetracycline diazonium salt, and a reactive organic substituent precursor, e.g., alkenes, substituted alkenes, vinyl monomers, aromatics and heteroaromatics, in the presence of a transition metal catalyst, such as palladium chloride, under conditions such that a tetracycline compound substituted with the organic substituent is formed.
