Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel compounds that inhibit fructokinase (KHK or ketohexokinase) and the downstream metabolic effects mediated by fructose metabolism. Fructokinase inhibitors specifically block the metabolism of both dietary and endogenous fructose metabolism and have a host of potential metabolic benefits.

Abstract: Methods for determining the presence or amount of oxopiperidine in a biological sample using mass spectrometry. These methods may be used to efficiently and non-invasively diagnose pyridoxine dependent epilepsy (PDE) due to deficient a-aminoadipic-?-semialdehyde (?-AASA) dehydrogenase activity due to mutations in ALDH7A1, resulting in the accumulation of ?1-P6C, P6CH, and 6-Oxo-PIP in biological samples.

Abstract: O-(5-amino-2-phenylbenzoxazol-7-yl)methyl-3,5-dichloro-L-tyrosine or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof exhibits high therapeutic effects on bile duct cancer, colorectal cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Abstract: A method for treating cancer includes administering to a subject in need of the treatment an anticancer agent composition that includes the following agents as active ingredients; a LAT1 inhibitor, and one or more agents selected from the group consisting of an alkylating agent, a platinum-based antineoplastic agent, an anti-metabolite, a topoisomerase inhibitor, an anti-microtubule polymerizing agent, a hormonal agent, an anti-microtubule depolymerizing agent, an anticancer antibiotic, and a molecular targeted agent.

Abstract: A compound represented by the general Formula I: a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, a solvate thereof, a chelate thereof, a non-covalent complex thereof, a pro-drug thereof, a deuterated radio-labeled analog thereof, and mixtures of any of the foregoing, wherein: A-K are individually selected from carbon or nitrogen; X?—O, —NR1, or —S; R1-11 are individually selected from the group consisting of —H, C1-C6 alkyl, C6-C14 aryl, substituted C6-C14 aryl, C1-C14-alkoxy, halogen, hydroxyl, carboxy, cyano, C1-C6-alkanoyloxy, C1-C6-alkylthio, C1-C6-alkylsulfonyl, trifluoromethyl, hydroxy, C2-C6-alkoxycarbonyl, C2-C6-alkanoylamino, —O—R12, S—R12, —SO2—R12, —NHSO2R12 and —NHCO2R12, wherein R12 is phenyl, naphthyl, or phenyl or naphthly substituted with one to three groups selected from C1-C6-alkyl, C6-C10 aryl, C1-C6-alkoxy and halogen, and C4-C20 hydroxyheteroaryl wherein the heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen.
