Abstract: 3-Diarylmethylenes are disclosed. The compounds activate PP2A, suppress oncogenic kinase signaling, and negatively regulate MYC and MYCN in cancer. The compounds also induce FOXO transcription factor translocation to the nucleus by modulating PP2A and, as a consequence, exhibit anti-proliferative effects. They are useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including as a monotherapy in cancer treatment, or used in combination with other drugs to restore sensitivity to chemotherapy where resistance has developed.

Abstract: A genus of dihydropyridine chemical modulators of synaptojanin is disclosed. These modulators are selective inhibitors of synaptojanin 1 and may be used to treat cognitive impairment or traumatic brain injury, including promoting regeneration in cases of traumatic brain injury, or for treating neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract: A genus of arylsulfonamide derivatives of heterocyclic constrained tricyclic compounds is disclosed. The compounds are of the following genus: The compounds induce FOXO1 transcription factor translocation to the nucleus by modulating PP2A and, as a consequence, exhibit anti-proliferative effects. They are useful in the treatment of a variety of disorders, including as a therapy in cancer treatment, or used in combination with other drugs to restore sensitivity to chemotherapy where resistance has developed.

Abstract: A method of treating cancer in a subject in need thereof includes administering to the subject therapeutically effective amounts of a PP2A activator and a protein kinase inhibitor.

Abstract: A process for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral 3-heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes is disclosed. The process involves reacting a tricyclic nitrogenous heterocycle with an allyl carbonate in the presence of a chiral palladium catalyst followed by oxidation of the olefinic bond to provide 3-heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes, cyclopentanes and corresponding alicyclic heterocycles. Also disclosed are methods for converting the heterocyclyl-1,2-dihydroxy cyclohexanes to 2-amino-6-(heteroaryl)cyclohexanols (and related cyclic compounds).

Abstract: Cyclic vinylogous amides of Formula I are disclosed The compounds are useful for treating diseases that arise from inappropriate activity of proteins containing an acetyl-lysine. The compositions comprise a genus of cyclic vinylogous amides that are inhibitors of bromodomain.
