  • Publication number: 20170360740
    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: 20170360750
    Abstract: Methods for increasing the encapsulation or incorporation of Sunitinib into polymeric matrices have been developed. The resulting formulations provide for more sustained controlled release of sunitinib or other inhibitors of JNK signaling, which bind to DLK. Increased loading is achieved using an alkaline solvent system. The pharmaceutical compositions can be administered to treat or reduce neuronal death due to elevated intraocular pressure. Upon administration, the sunitinib or other inhibitor is released over an extended period of time at concentrations which are high enough to produce therapeutic benefit, but low enough to avoid unacceptable levels of cytotoxicity, and which provide much longer release than inhibitor without conjugate.

  • Publication number: 20170360787
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for modulating levels of amyloid-? peptide (A?) exhibited by non-neuronal (i.e., peripheral) cells, fluids, or tissues. The invention also relates to modulation of AP levels via selective modulation (e.g., inhibition) of ?-secretase activity. The invention also relates to methods of preventing, treating or ameliorating the symptoms of a disorder, including but not limited to an A?-related disorder, by administering a compound that results in the modulation of ?-secretase in a non-neuronal tissue, either directly or indirectly to prevent, treat or ameliorate the symptoms of a brain AP disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease.

  • Publication number: 20170360789
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods comprising nanoparticles (NP) that are based on hyaluronic acid (HLA) that have been modified with hydrophobic moieties that can entrap FASN inhibitor compounds. In one embodiment, the FASN inhibitor compounds include Orlistat. In one embodiment, the hydrophobic moieties comprise 5-?CA, Pba, or ODA, or combinations thereof. In a variation, the present invention relates to a composition comprising NPs based upon HLA, Orlistat, one or more of the hydrophobic moieties comprising 5-?CA, Pba, or ODA, and one or more of members selected from the group consisting of PEG and a dilute solution containing SDS.
