  • Publication number: 20200157097
    Abstract: This disclosure features compounds of Formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: in which R1, R2, R3, and R4 are as defined herein. These compounds are modulators of NLRP3, which are useful, e.g., for treating a condition, disease or disorder in which a decrease in NLRP3 activity (e.g., a condition, disease or disorder associated with repressed or impaired NLRP3 signaling) contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the condition, disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) in a subject (e.g., a human). This disclosure also features compositions as well as other methods of using and making the same.

  • Patent number: 10604542
    Abstract: This disclosure features dinucleotide compounds that modulate Stimulator of Interferon Genes (STING) activity, for use for example in the treatment of cancer.

  • Patent number: 10603322
    Abstract: The invention provides a method of inhibiting casein kinase 1? (CK1?), comprising contacting the CK1? with a compound of formula (I), as defined herein; such as compound SR-3029. We demonstrate that CSNK1D is amplified and/or overexpressed in human breast tumors and that CK1? can be medically targeted in human breast cancer subtypes overexpressing this kinase. The invention further provides a method of treating cancer, such as a breast cancer, melanoma, glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, renal, bladder or colon cancer, or a cancer that metastasizes to the brain, lung, or bone provided that both elevated CK1? and ?-catenin dependence are involved in those metastatic diseases. The cancer can be a breast cancer of the triple negative subclass of breast cancers (TNBC), or can be an HER+ breast cancer.

  • Patent number: 10533005
    Abstract: This disclosure features chemical entities (e.g., a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and/or hydrate, and/or cocrystal, and/or drug combination of the compound) that modulate (e.g., agonizes or partially agonizes) NLRP3 that are useful, e.g., for treating a condition, disease or disorder in which an increase in NLRP3 signaling may correct a deficiency in innate immune activity (e.g., a condition, disease or disorder associated with an insufficient immune response) that contributes to the pathology and/or symptoms and/or progression of the condition, disease or disorder (e.g., cancer) in a subject (e.g., a human). This disclosure also features compositions as well as other methods of using and making the same.
