  • Publication number: 20140213620
    Abstract: In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents, the present invention provides novel histone deacetylase inhibitors. These compounds include an ester bond making them sensitive to deactivation by esterases. Therefore, these compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of skin disorders. When the compounds reaches the bloodstream, an esterase or an enzyme with esterase activity cleaves the compound into biologically inactive fragments or fragments with greatly reduced activity Ideally these degradation products exhibit a short serum and/or systemic half-life and are eliminated rapidly. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are particularly useful in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, neurofibromatosis, psoriasis, hair loss, skin pigmentation, and dermatitis, for example. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention and intermediates thereto.

  • Publication number: 20140213621
    Abstract: Chronic pain is treated in an individual suffering from chronic pain by administering to the individual an amount of a therapeutic containing a glycine receptor agonist such as D-cycloserine or a GlyT-1 glycine transporter antagonist such as sarcosine in an amount effective to treat the chronic pain. The therapeutic may also contain a secondary analgesic such as opiates, NSAIDs or cox-2 inhibitors. The analgesic can be formulated in a pharmaceutical composition in the form of an injectable solution that contains at least two different analgesics, at least one of the analgesics of which is a glycine receptor agonist or a GlyT-1 glycine transporter antagonist. Suitable pharmaceutical compositions contain D-cycloserine and/or sarcosine, optionally in combination with opiates, NSAIDs or cox-2 inhibitors.
