  • Publication number: 20090042991
    Abstract: Methods of employing bis(thio-hydrazide amides) to increase NK cell activity in a subject in need thereof, e.g., a subject with an infection or an immunodeficiency, are provided such that the disorder is not cancer, a proliferative cell disorder, a non-infective heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) responsive disorder, or a proteasome-inhibitor responsive disorder. Typically, a subject, e.g., a human, can be in need of increased NK cell activity has an immunodeficiency or is treated for an infection (e.g., a bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasite infection, or a combination thereof). The method includes administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound represented by Structural Formula I: Y is a covalent bond or an optionally substituted straight chained hydrocarbyl group, or, Y, taken together with both >C=Z groups to which it is bonded, is an optionally substituted aromatic group.
