  • Patent number: 11014876
    Abstract: Cancer is a disease for which there remains a great unmet medical need, and therefore the discovery and development of new antineoplastic agents is critically important. The present invention relates in part to new therapeutic compounds with antineoplastic activity. Provided herein are polyamine sulfonamides such as compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which may be used in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases such as cancer. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the inventive compounds. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., cancer) using compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof or pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Other methods provided include methods for inducing apoptosis of a cell, as well as methods for inhibiting alpha-enolase enzymatic activity in vivo and in vitro.

  • Patent number: 10258664
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating pain are disclosed. The compositions are based on dry powders comprising microparticles of diketopiperazines and an analgesic active agent. The analgesic in the compositions comprises one or more peptide analgesics or derivatives thereof, which are administered to a subject using a pulmonary inhalation drug delivery system comprising a dry powder inhaler and the analgesic composition. The present compositions produce fewer side effects associated with current opioid therapy.
