Abstract: The disclosure provides new compounds and compositions thereof, and methods for treating or ameliorating a disorder relating to CDG-Ia. In particular, the disclosure provides benzoisothiazolone inhibitors of PMI, which have been synthesized and their ability to drive glycosylation has been demonstrated. The disclosure provides two synthetic routes for these compounds, including a new copper-catalyzed N-arylation reaction amenable to parallel derivitization. The disclosed compounds represent potent inhibitors of PMI, and their dose-dependent efficacy in cell-based models of glycosylation have been demonstrated. In addition, the disclosed compounds are selective over PMM and therefore, are useful in treating or ameliorating a disorder relating to CDG-Ia.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds which contain substituted pyridazines and pyrimidines moieties which inhibit the activity of Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase. The invention is further directed to chemotherapeutic compositions containing the compounds of this invention and methods for treating cancer comprising administration of the compounds of the invention.

Abstract: There are provided methods of inhibiting growth and metastasis of melanoma, methods of sensitizing melanoma cells to apoptosis, and methods of treating a subject having melanoma using acetyl isogambogic acid, celastrol, or a derivative thereof. There are further provided derivatives of celastrol and compositions comprising acetyl isogambogic acid, celastrol, or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds which contain substituted naphthyridines which inhibit the activity of Akt, a serine/threonine protein kinase. The invention is further directed to chemotherapeutic compositions containing the compounds of this invention and methods for treating cancer comprising administration of the compounds of the invention.
