  • Patent number: 8778927
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for modulating, e.g., antagonizing, the activity of the Hedgehog signaling pathway, and for treating Hedgehog related disorders such as cancers (e.g., medulloblastoma). In particular, the invention provides methods for inhibiting aberrant growth states resulting from phenotypes such as Ptch loss-of-function, Hedgehog gain-of-function, smoothened gain-of-function or Gli gain-of-function by administering to a mammal combinations of Smoothened inhibitors (e.g., a compound of Formula I, Formula II, or Formula III, or any of the compounds listed herein or incorporated by reference) and cholesterol biosynthesis pathway inhibitors (e.g., statins), Gli inhibitors, and/or Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors.

  • Patent number: 8771682
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for reducing Interleukin-4 or Interleukin-13 signaling, in particular to treat asthma and atopic dermatitis. The inventors have found that Rac/PAK mediated endocytosis of the ligand bound type I (IL-4R with the chains IL-4Ra and IL-2-Rg) and/or type II receptor (IL-13R with the chains IL-4Ra and IL-13Ra1) is needed for the IL-4 and/or IL-13 mediated activation of downstream signalling events including phosphorylation of Stat family transcrition factors. These discoveries enable new methods of screening compounds that modulate Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 signalling, as well as new methods for treating conditions characterized by increased Interleukin-4 and Interleukin-13 levels. These conditions include inflammatory conditions, asthma bronchiale, atopic dermatitis, allergies, atopic syndromes, allergic rhinitis, and th2-induced conditions.

  • Publication number: 20140187510
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method of treating a subject for a condition mediated by aberrant Wnt/?-catenin signaling by selecting a subject with a condition mediated by aberrant Wnt/?-catenin signaling and administering to the selected subject a compound selected from the group consisting of those set forth in Table 1, Table 2, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. A method of similarly modulating the Wnt/?-catenin pathway in a subject is also discussed.
