Patent number: 9622993Abstract: Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase-beta (LPAAT-?) catalyzes the production of phosphatidic acid (PA) from lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). The lipid cofactor PA contributes to the activation of c-Raf, BRAF, mTOR and PKC-?. LPAAT-? expression is a prognostic factor in gynecologic malignancies and is being investigated as a therapeutic target in a variety of tumor types. A class of thiosemicarbazones was identified as inhibitors of LPAAT-? from a screen of a library of small molecules. A focused library of thiosemicarbazones derivatives was prepared and led to the development of compounds which potently inhibit LPAAT-? and inhibit the growth of MiaPaCa2 human pancreatic cancer cells.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: H.

Patent number: 9623039Abstract: Research into neuroprotective mechanisms has at its heart the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies to treat patients. For example, the compositions and induction strategies disclosed herein have use for acute injuries such as stroke or trauma, and would be extremely useful in treating patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery, neurosurgery or other surgical cohorts where ischemia is a risk. Further, patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attacks, soldiers at risk for blast injury or patients suffering from chronic neurodegenerative diseases would also benefit from enhanced neuronal survival based upon the techniques and compositions disclosed herein. In addition, protecting against cell death by, for example, interfering with PAR polymer signaling via the compositions and processes disclosed herein, offers new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of neurologic disorders.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: VALTED, LLCInventors: Ted M. Dawson, Valina L. Dawson, Shaida A. Andrabi, Ho Chul Kang
