  • Publication number: 20180147202
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility to degrade and (inhibit) TBK 1. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety which binds to an E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds TBK1 such that TBK1 is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of TBK1. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of TBK1.

  • Publication number: 20180147207
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods for treating prostate conditions. The methods involve administering to an individual in need thereof a composition that contains i) an inhibitor of methionine salvage pathway in prostate of the individual and ii) a polyamine analogue. The methods are for use in individuals who have been diagnosed with, or are suspected of having or at risk for developing androgen sensitive prostate cancer (AS-CaP), or Castration recurrent CaP (CR-CaP), or benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The disclosure includes use of inhibitors of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), and a polyamine analog that upregulates polyamine catabolism by increasing spermidine/spermine N1-acetyl transferase (SAT1) activity, such as methyl-thio-DADMe-Immucillin (MTDIA), and 1),N(11)-bisethylnorspermine (BENSpm), respectively. Pharmaceutical formulations that contain a combination of the inhibitor of the methionine salvage pathway and a polyamine analogue are included, as are kits that contain such agents.
