  • Patent number: 10787420
    Abstract: A benzimidazole compound and a preparation method thereof. Various substituted benzimidazoles are synthesized by a SN2 reaction and a cyclization reaction. Namely, o-fluorinated aryl-N,N-dimethyl-formamidine and primary amine are subjected to an cyclization by a one-pot reaction, wherein a fluorine atom is substituted by an amino, and then dimethylamine is eliminated, thus forming the product. The method does not require the use of any metal catalyst and/or any toxic reagent, and has a specific selectivity. No isomer exists in the reaction product.

  • Patent number: 10316371
    Abstract: Methods of inhibiting S. aureus propagation, and screening for compounds that inhibit S. aureus propagation, are described. A method of inhibiting S. aureus propagation comprises either inhibiting or stabilizing ribosomal binding of a specific S. aureus tRNA in the S. aureus by an amount sufficient to inhibit S. aureus protein expression. A method of screening for compounds useful for inhibiting S. aureus propagation comprises contacting a specific S. aureus tRNA to a ribosome that binds that tRNA in the presence of the test compound and an mRNA that codes for methionine and arginine (i.e., includes the sequence AUGAGA), and then determining whether the compound inhibits the binding of that tRNA.

  • Publication number: 20140336142
    Abstract: Provided is a method of treating or preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in a patient subject to, or symptomatic of the disease, wherein the method comprises restoring normal lysosomal pH (pHL), or acidifying an abnormally elevated pHL, thus decreasing or preventing a damaging accumulation of lipofuscin or waste products in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells of the eye of the patient. Further, this method is achieved by modulating the action of the P2X7 and/or P2Y12 receptors of the RPE cells, specifically decreasing the acidity (pHL) of the RPE lysosomes by administering selected receptor antagonists affecting the action of the P2X7 and/or P2Y12 receptors of the RPE. Methods for selecting and quantifying the effectiveness of drugs to restore pHL and determine outer segment clearance rates is also provided using a high through-put screening protocol.

  • Publication number: 20140336202
    Abstract: Methods of treating subjects with cancer and screening for MDM2 inhibitors that may be effective cancer therapeutics are provided herein. The cancers that may be treated using MDM2 inhibitors using the methods described herein include those that are or may become resistant to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Methods of treating subjects with cancers that have, or develop in response to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, elevated levels of MDM2, Mcl-1 or PP5 or decreased levels of Huwe1 or CAS using MDM2 inhibitors are provided herein. The MDM2 inhibitors may be effective at treating these cancers alone or in combination with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor regardless of p53 status (mutant or wild-type) of the cancer.
