Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a novel process for the synthesis of stereospecific compounds of Vitamin K2 group in general and Vitamin K2-7. The present disclosure further discloses novel intermediates useful in the synthesis of stereospecific Vitamin K2-7. Compounds of the Vitamin K2 group obtained are crystalline and exhibit well defined melting points.

Abstract: The present invention includes novel molecules and methods for using the same to treat Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), tobacco use, pain, or proinflammatory disorders comprising a modified tetracycline molecule, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pro-drugs, biologically active metabolites, and tautomers thereof comprise: a Deamino Diacetyl Minocycline, hyl Ether Minocycline, Ethyl Ether Minocycline, Propyl Ether Minocycline, Butyl Ether Minocycline, Butyl Ether Monoacetyl Minocycline, Butyl Ether Diacetyl Minocycline, Buty Ether Triacetyl Minocycline, or Butyl Ether Tetra Acetyl Minocycline.

Abstract: A method of treating Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), tobacco use, pain, or proinflammatory disorders comprising: providing a subject with an effective amount of a modified tetracycline or derivative thereof to ameliorate or eliminate the AUD, SUD, tobacco use, pain, or proinflammatory disorder, and wherein the modified tetracycline or derivative thereof has reduced binding to a microbial ribosome and has the formula wherein R1 is acetyl, R2 is OH or acetyl, R3 is acetyl, R4 is H or acetyl, and R5 is acetyl.

Abstract: The present invention includes novel molecules and methods for using the same to treat Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), tobacco use, pain, or proinflammatory disorders comprising: identifying a subject in need of treatment for at least one of AUD, SUD, pain, or a proinflammatory disorder; and providing the subject with an effective amount of a modified minocycline to ameliorate or eliminate the AUD, SUD, pain, or proinflammatory disorder and that has reduced, or no, antimicrobial activity, wherein the modified tetracycline has a formula, e.g., or the modified doxycycline, minocycline, and tigecycline and their tautomerized structures, where the R-groups shown in the minocycline example above could be different combination of halogen, acetyl ester, methyl ester, and diacetal.
