Abstract: The present invention provides phenylalanine derivatives that inhibit SH2 domain binding with a phosphoprotein. These derivatives include compounds of the formula: W—Y-(AA)n-Z wherein n is 0 to 15; Y is a phenylalanyl radical having a phenyl ring, an amine end, and a carboxyl end, the phenyl ring having one or more substituents, e.g., hydroxyl, carboxyl, formyl, carboxyalkyl, carboxyalkyloxy, dicarboxyalkyl, dicarboxyalkyloxy, dicarboxyhaloalkyl, dicarboxyhaloalkyloxy, and phosphonoalkyl, or phosphonohaloalkyl; W is a moiety attached to the nitrogen of Y and is, e.g.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods of inhibiting cell motility, for example, by inhibiting the binding between an intracellular transducer and a receptor protein tyrosine kinase, and more particularly by inhibiting hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) induced cell motility. The present invention also provides a method of inhibiting angiogenesis. The methods of the present invention employ peptides such as phosphotyrosyl mimetics. Also disclosed are methods of preventing and/or treating diseases, disorders, states, or conditions such as cancer, particularly metastatic cancer, for example, melanoma or prostate cancer, comprising administering to a mammal of interest one or more peptides of the present invention. Also disclosed are methods of blocking blocks HGF, VEGF, or bFGF-stimulated migration, cell proliferation, and formation of capillary-like structures.

Abstract: An electric fireplace assembly is disclosed and discussed. An electric fireplace of an embodiment includes a housing, a screen assembly having a translucent picture or image, a light panel behind the screen assembly, a controller coupled to the light panel, an image plate behind the screen assembly, and a reflector assembly above the light panel and behind the screen assembly.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds for SH2 domain binding inhibition, for example, a compound of formula (I), wherein R1 is a lipophile; R2, in combination with the phenyl ring, is a phenylphosphate mimic group or a protected phenylphosphate mimic group; R3 is hydrogen, azido, amino, carboxyalkyl, alkoxycarbonylalkyl, aminocarbonylalkyl, or alkylcarbonylamino, wherein the alkyl portion of R3 may be optionally substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of halo, hydroxy, carboxyl, amino, aminoalkyl, alkyl, alkoxy, and keto; R6 is a linker; AA is an amino acid; and n is 1 to 6; or a salt thereof. The conformationally compounds provide enhanced binding affinity with SH2 domain protein. Also disclosed are a pharmaceutical compositions and a method for inhibiting an SH2 domain from binding with a phosphoprotein.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of formula I: useful HIV infection, AIDS, and other similar diseases. These compounds include inhibitors of the retroviral integrase enzyme that are useful in the treatment of HIV infection, AIDS, and other similar diseases characterized by integration of a retroviral genome into a host chromosome. The compounds of the invention are useful in pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment to reduce incorporation of a donor DNA into a receiving DNA.

Abstract: Disclosed are compounds represented by the formula: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or isomer thereof, wherein R1-R6 are as defined in the specification. These compounds are targeted for use as inhibitors of SH2 domain binding with a phosphoprotein, and are contemplated for use in a number of diseases including cancer. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Abstract: A method for developing a call traffic pattern for a company having a plurality of remotely located facilities is disclosed. A long distance carrier phone bill is examined to determine which call records correspond to intra-company calls. The intra-company call records are then grouped by originating company facility. Data from the grouped call records are then summed and examined to assemble a call traffic pattern. The call traffic pattern may include total charges for intra-company calls by facility, total calls by facility, total call duration by facility, peak phone usage by facility, and time of peak usage by facility. The call traffic pattern may be particularly useful in designing a voice over data network solution for a company.

Abstract: This invention is directed to the analogs of viscosin, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and to their use as antibacterial, antiviral and antitrypanosomal therapeutic compounds.
