Abstract: This document relates to inhibitors of G protein coupled receptor 6 kinase (GRK6) polypeptides as well as methods and materials for using such inhibitors to treat hematological malignancies, inflammation diseases, and autoimmune disorders.

Abstract: Provided is a method of inhibiting growth of androgen receptor positive cancer cells. The method entails administering to an individual diagnosed with or suspected of having an androgen receptor positive cancer and administering to the individual a composition containing a compound that can inhibit the growth of the androgen receptor positive cancer.

Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions for interfering with neuronal transmission comprising an effective amount of at least one tricyclic 3,4-propinoperhydropurine and at least one additional compound are disclosed. Preparations for topical applications are provided that comprise an effective amount of the composition of the invention and a pharmacologically acceptable carrier. Methods of interfering with neuronal transmission comprising topical application of an effective amount of the at least one tricyclic 3,4-propinoperhydropurine are provided for treatment of a variety of indications that relate to muscle relaxation, anesthesia, muscle spasms and similar causes.

Abstract: The instant invention provides for substituted fused naphthyridine derivatives that inhibit Akt activity. In particular, the compounds disclosed selectively inhibit one or two of the Akt isoforms. The invention also provides for compositions comprising such inhibitory compounds and methods of inhibiting Akt activity by administering the compound to a patient in need of treatment of cancer.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for preventing or attenuating cancer progression or blocking metastasis in prostate cancer and other cancers (e.g., ovarian carcinoma, endometrial cancer, renal cell carcinoma) that are characterized by overexpression of the type II cell surface serine protease hepsin, based on the discovery of multiple disclosed compounds having activity as specific hepsin inhibitors.
