  • Patent number: 9586928
    Abstract: The invention provides small molecule modulators of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptors such as ROR?, ROR?, or ROR?, of formula with the variable atoms as defined herein and R1 comprising a hydroxyl- or alkoxyl-substituted fluoroalkyl group. Compounds of the invention can be effective modulators at concentrations ineffective to act on LXR receptors, or on other nuclear receptors, or other biological targets. Methods of modulation the RORs and methods of treating metabolic disorders, immune disorders, cancer, and CNS disorders wherein modulation of an ROR is medically indicated are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9580439
    Abstract: The invention provides inhibitors of focal adhesion kinase, an enzyme involved in the attachment of the cytoskeleton of a cell to an extracellular matrix, which has been implicated in processes such as cell migration, cell proliferation, and cell survival. The inhibitors are derivatives of a 5-substituted 2,4-diaminopyridine wherein the substituents are as defined herein. The invention also provides a method of using the inhibitors in treatment of cancer, and methods of preparation of the inhibitors by use of coupling reactions.

  • Publication number: 20150246908
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9051265
    Abstract: The invention provides molecular entities that bind with high affinity to PPARG (PPAR?), and inhibit kinase-mediated (e.g., cdk5-mediated) phosphorylation of PPARG, but do not exert an agonistic effect on PPARG. Compounds of the invention can be used for treatment of conditions in patients wherein PPARG plays a role, such as diabetes, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, pre-diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, or inflammation. Side effects such as significant weight gain, edema, impairment of bone growth or formation, or cardiac hypertrophy, or any combination thereof, can be avoided in the mammal receiving the compound. Methods of preparation of the compounds, bioassay methods for evaluating compounds of the invention as non-agonistic PPARG binding compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
