Patent number: 9656994Abstract: The invention provides modulators of the nociceptin receptor (NOP), including both agonists and antagonists. A compound of the invention can be a selective modulator of NOP with respect to the ?- and ?-opioid receptors (MOP and KOP), thus providing a therapeutic method for the treatment of conditions wherein selective NOP modulation is medically indicated and MOP or KOP modulation may be less desirable. A compound of the invention can be a NOP full agonist, partial agonist, inverse agonist, positive or negative allosteric modulator, or a functionally biased agonist. A compound of the invention can be used for the treatment of an anxiety state, post-traumatic stress disorder, addictive disorders (including overuse of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs of abuse such as cocaine, amphetamines, and opitates), misregulated food intake and/or energy expenditure, cough, sleep disorders, migraine, pain, depression, or neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinsons disease or Alzheimers disease.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: The Scripps Research InstituteInventors: Thomas D. Bannister, Claes R. Wahlestedt, Yen Ting Chen, Shaun P. Brothers, Hasib Salah-Uddin, Xiaohong Pan

Publication number: 20150246908Abstract: The invention provides potent inhibitors of small molecule inhibitors of Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) expression. Compounds of the invention are small molecule inhibitors of KLF5 expression which can be effective delay or prevent colon cancer onset, halt growth of existing tumors, and/or decrease reoccurrence. The compounds can be effective vs. many tumor types whose progression is in part mediated by KLF5, including colorectal cancers. Lowering KLF5 levels with an inhibitor of this invention may also impact other disease states, including diabetes, obesity, lipid homeostasis, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2013Publication date: September 3, 2015Inventors: Thomas D. Bannister, Yuanjun He, Agnieszka Bialkowska, Vincent Yang, Melissa Crisp, Peter Hodder
