  • Publication number: 20200312426
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide materials and methods for performing phenotype-based chemical screens. Embodiments disclosed herein pertain to the use of a battery of high-throughput zebrafish behavioral assays to generate behavioral profiles. In accordance with these embodiments, responses to various chemical compounds with known and unknown biological functions can be used to generate behavioral profiles. Embodiments also involve generating behavioral profiles based on genetic mutations or environmental perturbations. Establishing databases of behavioral profiles facilitates identification of novel chemicals that phenocopy effects of therapeutic agents and/or that modulate genetic or environmental behavioral profiles, thereby providing a basis for not only assessing the properties of known chemical compounds but also for developing novel treatments for human diseases.

  • Publication number: 20160115167
    Abstract: The present invention provides small molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling. These compounds may be used to modulate cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and thus may be useful for treating diseases or conditions associated with BMP signaling, including inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hematological disease, cancer, and bone disorders, as well as for modulating cellular differentiation and/or proliferation. These compounds may also be used to reduce circulating levels of ApoB-100 or LDL and treat or prevent acquired or congenital hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipoproteinemia; diseases, disorders, or syndromes associated with defects in lipid absorption or metabolism; or diseases, disorders, or syndromes caused by hyperlipidemia.
