  • Patent number: 9610322
    Abstract: Macrocyclic compounds that specifically inhibit insulin degrading enzyme (IDE) are provided. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, stereoisomers, polymorphs, tautomers, isotopically enriched forms, and prodrugs of the macrocyclic IDE inhibitors are also described. Pharmaceutical compositions are also provided. In vivo and in vitro methods of using the IDE inhibitor, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the IDE inhibitor, for example, for the inhibition of IDE in a subject exhibiting aberrant IDE activity, impaired insulin signaling, or insulin resistance, for example, a subject having diabetes, are also provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2017
    Assignee: President and Fellows of Harvard College
    Inventors: David R. Liu, Juan Pablo Maianti, Alan Saghatelian, Ralph E. Kleiner
  • Publication number: 20160282364
    Abstract: IDE-binding probes and assays for the identification of IDE-binding and IDE-inhibiting compounds are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions of macrocyclic IDE inhibitors are also provided, including compositions in which such IDE inhibitors are combined with an additional therapeutic agent. Methods of using IDE inhibitors for transiently inhibiting IDE in a subject in need thereof, for example, for the transient inhibition of IDE in a subject exhibiting aberrant IDE activity, impaired isulin signaling, or insulin resistance, for example, a subject having diabetes, are also provided. Methods of using IDE inhibitors for transiently modulating heart rate and/or blood pressure in a subject are also provided.
