  • Publication number: 20160250200
    Abstract: Behavioral pharmacological data with the compound of formula (I), a novel and selective 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonist, demonstrate in vivo efficacy in models of psychosis and dyskinesias. This includes activity in reversing MK-801 induced locomotor behaviors, suggesting that this compound may be an efficacious anti-psychotic, and activity in an MPTP primate model of dyskinesias, suggesting efficacy as an anti-dyskinesia agent. These data support the hypothesis that 5HT2A/2C receptor inverse agonism may confer antipsychotic and anti-dyskinetic efficacy in humans, and indicate a use of the compound of formula (I) and related agents as novel therapeutics for Parkinson's Disease, related human neurodegenerative diseases, and psychosis.

    Abstract: This invention provides a novel cancer treatment method in which plinabulin (t-butyl-dehydrophenylahistin or NPI-2358) and a taxane compound (such as docetaxel) are used in combination. Our study has shown that the optimum combination of injecting plinabulin after taxane compound has unexpected enhanced efficacy in large tumor populations in animal model and in NSCLC cancer patients compared to taxane compound treatment alone. In addition, this optimum combination can achieve unexpected safety effect in lowering unbearable side effects of taxane compound, including decreasing its neutropenia rates at all grades and decreasing G-CSF use in cancer patients.

    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises: a) 5 wt % to 95 wt % of a HCl salt of Compound (1).xH2O by the weight of the pharmaceutical composition, wherein x is from 0 to 3; and b) 5 wt % to 95 wt % of a filler by the weight of the pharmaceutical composition. Another pharmaceutical composition comprises: a) 1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL of Compound (1) in water; and b) 0.01 M to 0.1 M of a pharmaceutically acceptable pH modifier. A method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition, comprising providing a mixture of Compound (1) that includes the HCl salt of Compound (1).xH2O and the filler. Another method of preparing a pharmaceutical composition comprises mixing the HCl salt of Compound (1).xH2O and the pH modifier to form 1 mg/mL to 20 mg/mL of Compound (1) in water. Methods of reducing the amount of influenza viruses, inhibiting the replication of influenza viruses, and treating influenza each independently employ such pharmaceutical compositions.

  • Publication number: 20160250214
    Abstract: The invention relates to medicine, in particular to gastroenterology, and lies in the field of treatment of liver diseases of various origins. For this purpose, the hepatoprotective agent that is introduced to the patient is embodied as derivatives of bis(2-thio-4,6-dioxo-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydropyrimidine-5-yl)arylmethanes. The method provides reduction of the manifestations of cytolysis under the influence of damaging agents and a statistically significant reduction of dysproteinemia, it accelerates restoration of detoxifying processes of the liver, increases induction of endogenic interferon alfa and, consequently, makes the protection of liver cells during hepatitides of various origins more effective.

  • Publication number: 20160250216
    Abstract: Provided is a method of inhibiting heterodimerization of HIF-2? to HIF1? (ARNT) comprising binding certain small molecules to the HIF-2? PAS-B domain cavity but not to HIF1? and inhibiting HIF-2? heterodimerization to HIF1? (ARNT) but not inhibiting HIF1? heterodimerization to HIF1? (ARNT). Those certain small molecules are also referenced synonymously as HIF2-HDI and HIF2? heterodimerization inhibitors and also simply as certain small molecules.
