Abstract: Embodiments of small molecule inhibitors of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are disclosed. The disclosed compounds suppress HIF-1 activity by inhibiting the interaction between the HIF-1 ? subunit and transcriptional co-activator protein p300. Embodiments of methods for making and using the small molecule inhibitors are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates methods of identifying and predicting inter-patient differences in prognostic prediction for survival in androgen independent prostate cancer. It further related to methods for determining and exploiting such differences to improve medical outcomes. Moreover, it provides methods for determining if a subject has prostate cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods of identifying subjects having an increased likelihood of developing one or more adverse side effects resulting from administration of a microtubule-stabilizing agent. In particular examples, the method includes determining whether the subject has an ABCB1 predictive polymorphism for microtubule-stabilizing agent-induced toxicity, wherein the presence of such a polymorphism indicates that the subject has an increased risk of developing microtubule-stabilizing agent induced adverse effects. Examples of ABCB1 predictive polymorphisms include 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T. Also provided are methods of modifying microtubule-stabilizing agent therapy in a subject identified as having one or more ABCB1 predictive polymorphisms. Kits and isolated nucleic acid molecules that can be used in the disclosed methods are also provided.

Abstract: A number of thalidomide metabolites having superior anti-angiogenic properties have now been isolated and identified. In addition, thalidomide analogs that mimic the effects of the isolated and identified active thalidomide metabolites, and variations of such thalidomide analogs, have been developed. Such thalidomide analog compounds show enhanced potency in the inhibition of undesirable angiogenesis without the undesirable effects of administration of thalidomide.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and materials for screening for polymorphic variants in ABCB1 and diagnosing altered susceptibilities for drug-induced heart rhythm irregularities based on the same. These methods allow better treatment regimens for using drugs that bind a protein encoded by the ABCB1 and/or induce heart rhythm irregularities such as the anti-cancer drug FK228.
