Abstract: Described are methods of treating a disease associated with dysregulation of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling pathway. The methods include identifying subjects in need of therapy, administering inhibitors of the Wnt/Frizzled signaling pathway, pharmaceutical compositions including the inhibitors, and methods of using the compounds and compositions for treating cancer, bacterial and viral infection, lupus, type II diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a subject.

Abstract: Compounds and pharmaceutical compositions that down-regulate immune checkpoints such as PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are provided. Also provided are methods of treating a disease by down-regulating immune checkpoints such as PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4. The methods are useful for treating cancer and viral infection in a subject.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides modified neuroactive steroids. The modified neuroactive steroids may comprise, consist of or consist essentially of a therapeutic agent and/or a modifying moiety. The modified neuroactive steroid can have modified characteristics as compared to native neuroactive steroids that do not include a modifying moiety and/or therapeutic agent. The modified neuroactive steroid may be, for example, modified pregnenolone, pregnenolone metabolites, allopregnanolone, and/or allopregnanolone metabolites. The modified neuroactive steroids can be used to treat, prevent and/or ameliorating a phenotypic state of interest in a subject.

Abstract: The present invention provides compounds of formula (I): wherein all variables are as defined herein, pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, processes for preparing the same and their use as pharmaceutical agents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the compound of formula (I), ##STR1## also known as 17.beta.-N-(2,5-bis(Trifluoromethyl))phenylcarbamoyl-4-aza-5.alpha.-andros t-1-en-3-one, solvates thereof, its preparation, intermediates used in its preparation, pharmaceutical formulations thereof and its use in the treatment of androgen responsive and mediated diseases.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to new cationic lipids and intermediates in their synthesis that are useful for transfecting nucleic acids or peptides into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. The lipids comprise one or two substituted arginine, lysine or ornithine residues, or derivatives thereof, linked to a lipophilic moiety. The lipids form a complex when mixed with polyanions such as nucleic acids or peptides. The complexes permit efficient transfer of polyanions into cells, usually without significant toxicity to the cells.
