  • Publication number: 20080312260
    Abstract: The present invention provides diagnostic and prognostic methods for predicting the effectiveness of treatment of a cancer patient with inhibitors of EGFR kinase, PDGFR kinase, or FGFR kinase. Based on the surprising discovery that tumors cells after having undergone an EMT, while being mesenchymal-like, still express characteristics of both epithelial and mesenchymal cells, and that such cells have altered sensitivity to inhibition by receptor protein-tyrosine kinase inhibitors, in that they have become relatively insensitive to EGFR kinase inhibitors, but have frequently acquired sensitivity to inhibitors of other receptor protein-tyrosine kinases such as PDGFR or FGFR, methods have been devised for determining levels of specific epithelial and mesenchymal biomarkers that identify such “hybrid” tumor cells (e.g. determination of co-expression of vimentin and epithelial keratins), and thus predict the tumor's likely sensitivity to inhibitors of EGFR kinase, PDGFR kinase, or FGFR kinase.

The methods may have use in the treatment of autoimmunity, inflammation, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft versus host disease, infection, sepsis, cancer, and immunodeficiency.

  • Publication number: 20080188499
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds of the formula (1.0); and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds. The present invention relates to chemical entities containing a nitrofuran or other antibiotic linked to an activity enhancing distal ring system either directly or via an imine group, the vinyl group, the carbo- or hetero-cyclic chain or ring or a combination of an imine group or a vinyl group and a carbo- or hetero-cyclic chain or ring. Antibiotic activity is obtained, for example, by the nitrofuran moiety, while the remaining structure of the molecule contributes to additional antimicrobial activity and/or extends the antimicrobial spectrum of activity, by facilitating nitroreduction by microorganisms, uptake in target bacterial, and/or intracellular penetration, while also contributing to pharmacological properties (absorption, body distribution, and others).

  • Publication number: 20080175797
    Abstract: Hypersecretion of mucus in the lungs is inhibited by the administration of an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) antagonist. The EGF-R antagonist may be in the form of a small organic molecule, an antibody, or portion of an antibody that binds to and blocks the EGF receptor. The EGF-R antagonist is preferably administered by injection in an amount sufficient to inhibit formation of goblet cells in pulmonary airways. The degranulation of goblet cells that results in airway mucus production is thereby inhibited. Assays for screening candidate agents that inhibit goblet cell proliferation are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20080176875
    Abstract: This invention relates to the discovery of prodrugs of 3- or 5-substituted analogues of the selective platelet lowering agent anagrelide which have reduced potential for cardiovascular side-effects and which should therefore lead to improved patient compliance and safety in the treatment of myeloproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to prodrugs of certain imidazoquinazoline derivatives which have utility as platelet lowering agents in humans. The compounds of the present invention function by inhibiting the formation of blood platelets.
