  • Patent number: 6849629
    Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pyridazinone compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising those compounds and to methods of using such compounds and compositions to inhibit aldose reductase, lower sorbitol levels and, thus, lower fructose levels, and/or treat or prevent diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic microangiopathy and diabetic macroangiopathy in mammals. This invention also relates to methods of affording cardioprotection to subjects not suffering from diabetes. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising a combination of an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI) of this invention and a sorbitol dehydrogenase inhibitor and to methods of using such compositions or kits to treat or prevent the above diabetic complications in mammals.

  • Publication number: 20040266780
    Abstract: Methods of inhibiting phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase delta isoform (PI3K&dgr;) activity, and methods of treating diseases, such as disorders of immunity and inflammation, in which PI3K&dgr; plays a role in leukocyte function are disclosed. Preferably, the methods employ active agents that selectively inhibit PI3K&dgr;, while not significantly inhibiting activity of other PI3K isoforms. Compounds are provided that inhibit PI3K&dgr; activity, including compounds that selectively inhibit PI3K&dgr; activity. Methods of using PI3K&dgr; inhibitory compounds to inhibit cancer cell growth or proliferation are also provided. Accordingly, the invention provides methods of using PI3K&dgr; inhibitory compounds to inhibit PI3K&dgr;-mediated processes in vitro and in vivo.
