  • Publication number: 20230382850
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for a therapeutic treatment that is able to combat triple negative breast cancers (TNBCs). The class of urea compounds acts by blocking at inhibiting the mTOR signaling pathway, which, as a central regulator of mammalian metabolism and physiology that when inhibited leads to the induction of autophagocytosis. The disclosed compounds are further capable of reinitiating the p53 cycle as well as inhibition of the BNIP3/BNIP3L pathway. The disclosed compounds also shows the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier where metastases can form. This new drug has the potential to be a powerful new treatment to combat invasive TNBCs.

  • Publication number: 20220041562
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for a therapeutic treatment that is able to combat certain conditions such as addiction, alcohol dependence, opioid abuse treatment, neurological disorders, neuropathic pain, and combinations thereof. The compounds act by acting as selective antagonist to the kappa (?) opioid receptor, which, when present leads to the inhibition of conditions, providing increased performance over known treatments. The disclosed compounds also shows the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier in a highly efficient manner. The disclosed compounds are shown to be effective in the nanomolar range.

  • Patent number: 11225459
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for a therapeutic treatment that is able to combat neuroinflammation caused by diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and traumatic brain injury. The class of urea compounds acts by blocking at targeted receptors in the brain that contribute to the increase in inflammation. Combinations of receptors, H1 receptor, H2 receptor, dopamine transporter (DAT), and/or 5HT3C receptor, are individually and/or collectively inhibited by the same compositions of the present disclosure, and this ability leads to a decrease in brain edema. The DAT inhibitory effects additionally maintains dopamine levels in a patient.

  • Publication number: 20210332007
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel diarylurea derivatives (compounds of formula (I)) and their uses. The compounds of the present invention are demonstrated to be allosteric modulators of the CB1 receptor, and therefore useful for the treatment of diseases and conditions mediated by CB1.

  • Patent number: 10787456
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition and method for a therapeutic treatment that is able to combat certain conditions such as alcohol dependence, opioid abuse treatment, neurological disorders, neuropathic pain, and fibromyalgia. The novel gliotoxin analog compound acts by acting as an antagonist to one or more opioid receptors, which, when present leads to the inhibition of conditions, providing increased performance over known treatments. The disclosed compounds also shows the ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier in a highly efficient manner.
