  • Publication number: 20130331398
    Abstract: The instant invention is based, at least in part, on a newly-identified proteasome-independent signaling function of ubiquitinated PSD-95. Mdm2 inhibitors, Mdm4 inhibitors, PSD-95 inhibitors, and/or enantiomers and/or derivatives thereof de-crease endocytosis via preventing PSD-95 ubiquitination, and thereby increase AMPAR, NMDAR, D1 dopamine receptor surface expression in response to a given stimulus (e.g., NMDA, A?). Accordingly, the invention provides methods for modulating AM-PARS, NMDARs, or D1 dopamine receptors in a neuronal cell by contacting the neuronal cell with an Mdm2 and/or Mdm4 inhibitor or PSD-95 inhibitor and/or enantiomers and/or derivatives thereof. Mdm2 and/or Mdm4 inhibitors decrease the enzymatic activity of the respective proteins, and/or interactions with their respective substrates. Mdm2 and Mdm4 inhibitors and/or PSD-95 inhibitors of the invention are contemplated for use in the treatment of neurological disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, and psychiatric disorders.

  • Publication number: 20130281389
    Abstract: Topoisomerase II alpha (topo II?) is exported from the cell nucleus in human myeloma cells by a chromosome-maintenance protein-1 (CRM1)-dependent mechanism, resulting in topo II inhibitor resistance. The nuclear export signal (NES) of topo II? is unique, making it a potential target for small molecule inhibitors. Small molecules NES inhibitors were identified, which inhibited binding of topo II? to the export receptor CRM1. Inhibition was specific to topo II? as p53 trafficking was unaffected along with topo II? protein expression and function (decatenation). These topo II?-specific nuclear export inhibitors may potentially lead to a new approach in circumventing drug resistance in multiple myeloma. The compounds provide a protocol for treating multiple myeloma or an oncogenic disease. Further, the topoisomerase II nuclear export signal inhibitor may be combined with a topoisomerase II inhibitor.
