Abstract: Provided are a 4-sulfur pentafluoride phenol compound and a preparation method therefor, and a preparation method for a sulfur pentafluoride substituted benzopyran compound. According to the present invention, sulfur pentafluoride salicylaldehyde with multiple substituent groups is synthesized through a plurality of steps by using sulfur pentafluoride phenol as a raw material, and then the sulfur pentafluoride substituted benzopyran compound is synthesized on this basis. The method is simple and convenient, and low in cost; overcomes the defects that, at present, the number of types of sulfur pentafluoride phenols is small, and the synthesis of various sulfur pentafluoride substituted benzopyran compounds cannot be met; and has wide industrial application prospects.

Abstract: The present invention provides aminohydantoin anti-malarial agents. In some embodiments, these agents have the property of functions of targeting malarial aspartic proteases while at the same time having low activity against human BACE. Methods of employing such agents are also provided.

Abstract: This invention is directed to assays to determine the presence or absence of proteins that exhibit aggrecanase or ADMP activity. This invention also relates to peptides that acts as a substrates for ADMPs, their use in various assays to determine the presence or absence of ADMP activity, and their use as inhibitors of ADMP activity.

Abstract: The invention is directed to the family of aggrecan degrading metallo proteases (ADMPs) that exhibit the ability to cleave the aggrecan core protein between amino acid residues Glu373-Ala374. The invention encompasses the nucleic acids encoding such enzymes, processes for production of recombinant ADMPs, compositions containing such enzymes, and the use of these enzymes in various assays and for the development of novel inhibitors for use as therapies for diseases involving aggrecanase-mediated degradation of cartilage or other aggrecanase-associated diseases.

Abstract: This invention is directed to filtrate-holder and reversible-well collection plates composed of polypropylene and Teflon®, and to their use, in connection with compatible filter units, in high-throughput screening assays for assessing the binding of small molecules to proteins.
