  • Patent number: 9949999
    Abstract: The invention relates to inhibition of wild-type and certain mutant forms of human histone methyltransferase EZH2, the catalytic subunit of the PRC2 complex which catalyzes the mono- through tri-methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3-K27). In one embodiment the inhibition is selective for the mutant form of the EZH2, such that trimethylation of H3-K27, which is associated with certain cancers, is inhibited. The methods can be used to treat cancers including follicular lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Also provided are methods for identifying small molecule selective inhibitors of the mutant forms of EZH2 and also methods for determining responsiveness to an EZH2 inhibitor in a subject.

  • Patent number: 9950001
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for delivering polynucleotides into cells. The disclosure provides transiently protected polynucleotides comprising an anionic charge-neutralizing moiety/group, which may also confer additional functionality. These compounds can enter the cytosol of cells by endocytic or macropinocytic mechanisms. The transient protecting group is bioreversible, i.e., once inside a cell, it is designed to be removed by enzymatic activity or by passive intracellular methods (e.g., changes in pH or reductive environment).

  • Patent number: 9950004
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for transdermal drug delivery, including treatment and prevention of learning and memory disorders, and enhancement of learning or memory. In some cases, the composition may include nitric oxide. The nitric oxide may be present within a first phase comprising a lecithin, such as phosphatidylcholine. In certain embodiments, the lecithin is present in liposomes, micelles, or other vesicles containing nitric oxide. The composition can take the form of a gel, a cream, a lotion, an ointment, a solution, a solid “stick,” etc., that can be rubbed or sprayed onto the skin. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making or using such compositions, methods of promoting such compositions, kits including such compositions, or the like.
