  • Patent number: 7816352
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds that act as selective agents to protect against unintentional cell death or tissue damage and can relieve side effects of cancer treatment such as, for example, oral mucositis, hair loss, diarrhea due to damage to the gastrointestinal epithelium, and myelosuppression. In addition, these compounds can be used to prevent premature cell death when the cell death is caused by signals from damaged cells, for example, signals generated as the result of a traumatic incident or an ischemic episode.

  • Publication number: 20100249122
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods of use thereof to prevent and/or treat pathogenic infection. In particular, the present invention provides the use of kinase inhibitors to inhibit kinases that involve in pathogen-host cell interactions that are associated with or cause pathogenic infections, therefore, to effectively prevent and/or treat pathogenic infections with far less likely to engender resistance as compared to conventional antibiotics and anti-viral drugs. The present invention further provides the use of kinase inhibitors for the treatment of acute pathogenic infections for a short period of time to avoid toxicities that may caused by long term use of these kinase inhibitors.
