  • Publication number: 20170258792
    Abstract: The invention pertains to ligands that bind to CD81 and that inhibit or block Plasmodium attachment to CD81, compositions and methods for preventing, inhibiting or treating infection by Plasmodium and ligands that target a Plasmodium binding site on CD81 and methods of making and using them. A series of ligand binding sites on the large extracellular loop of the open conformation of CD81 have been identified. Several important sites were located in regions identified by mutational studies to be the site of Plasmodium binding. Ligands that recognize these sites were identified. Linking together two or three ligands that bind with low or moderate affinities to different structurally unique sites on a target protein were used to generate small molecule ligand conjugates that exhibit very high affinities to their CD81 targets. Hybrid ligand molecules were also designed using fragment-based drug design methods to generate analogs of the ligands that bind more tightly to the protein than the parent compounds.

  • Publication number: 20170258793
    Abstract: The invention provides a method for treating prostate cancer in a subject comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a selective inhibitor of one or more of CDK8 and CDK19. In some embodiments the inhibitor inhibits CDK19. In some embodiments, the inhibitor inhibits CDK8 at a Kd of lower than 200 nM and/or inhibits CDK19 at a Kd of lower than 100 nM. In some embodiments, the prostate cancer is androgen independent. In some embodiments, the prostate cancer is androgen independent due to one or more of androgen receptor gene amplification, androgen receptor gene mutation, ligand-independent transactivation of androgen receptor and activation of intracellular androgen synthesis. In some embodiments, the inhibitor inhibits increased activity of NF-?B. In some embodiments, the inhibitor does not inhibit increased basal levels of NF-?B.
