Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound preventing EthR from binding to the ethA promoter, for example a compound of formula 1 wherein R1 is optionally substituted phenyl or optionally substituted pyridyl; R2 (CH2)n wherein n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; R3 is CH3(CH2)m wherein m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; X1 is O, S, NH, N(CH3) or CH2; and X2 is O, S or NH; in particular 2-phenylethyl butyrate, and a thioamide or thiourea of formula 2 wherein R4 is optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted pyridyl, optionally substituted indolyl, —NR7R8; or —NH—N?CH—R9; and substituents R5 to R9 have the meanings indicated in the description, in particular ethionamide. The pharmaceutical composition is useful, e.g., in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (1) wherein R1 is optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted pyridyl or optionally substituted indolyl; R2 is (CH2)n wherein n is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; R3 is (CH2)mR3A wherein m is 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, and R3A is methyl, isopropyl, tert-butyl, OCH3, OH, optionally substituted phenoxy, C?CH, C?N, optionally substituted phenyl, furanyl or thienyl; A is a ring containing X1 with the meaning O, S, NH, N(CH3) or CH2; and X2 is O, S or NH; and a compound of formula (2) wherein R4 is optionally substituted phenyl, optionally substituted pyridyl, optionally substituted indolyl, —NR7R8; or —NH—N?CH—R9; and substituents R5 to R9 have the meanings indicated in the description, in particular ethionamide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogel comprising a polymer, a first polypeptide and a polypeptide binding partner, wherein the polypeptide binding partner is a second polypeptide, a nucleic acid or a small molecule, and wherein the interaction between the first polypeptide and the polypeptide binding partner stabilizes the hydrogel and is modulated by the addition of a modulating compound. A drug may be physically entrapped in the hydrogel, bound to the polymer forming the hydrogel structure, or bound to the first polypeptide or the polypeptide binding partner, and then be set free on addition of the modulating compound. Such a hydrogel comprising a drug may be injected into a patient, and drug release modulated by orally administering the modulating compound.
