  • Publication number: 20130131106
    Abstract: This invention relates to synthetic bifunctional compounds comprising a first rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibiting compound and a second pharmaceutically active compound with complementary activity; the first and the second compounds are covalently linked by a biologically labile bond. This invention also relates to methods of making such compounds. The invention also relates to methods of using such bifunctional compounds in the prevention or treatment of diseases or conditions that are affected or can be assisted by altering the integrity or rearrangement of the cytoskeleton. Particularly, this invention relates to methods of treating ophthalmic diseases such as disorders in which intraocular pressure is elevated, for example primary open-angle glaucoma, using the bifunctional compounds.

  • Publication number: 20130131059
    Abstract: This invention is directed to prodrugs of rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors. These prodrugs are in general the ester or the amide derivatives of the parent compounds. These prodrugs are often weak inhibitors of ROCK, but their parent compounds have good activities. Upon instillation into the eyes, the ester or the amide group of these prodrugs is rapidly hydrolyzed into alcohol, amine, or acid, and the prodrugs are converted into the active base compounds. The prodrugs of ROCK inhibitors provide several advantages such as delivery of higher concentrations of the active species into the target site and reduction of ocular discomfort. The invention is also directed to a method of treating ophthalmic diseases such as glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis, macular edema, macular degeneration, and blepharitis, by administering an effective amount of a ROCK prodrug compound of Formula I to the eyes of the patient in need of.

  • Publication number: 20130109716
    Abstract: The compounds herein disclosed are tetrahydroisoquinoline analogs that have modifications on the phenyl rings by introducing groups with various electronic properties. These derivatives of tetrahydroisoquinoline have been shown to have anti-proliferative activity against cells. In particular, the compounds have been found to be effective in inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cells, such as cancer cells that originated in breast tissue. Additionally, it has been shown that the novel compounds have IC50 values against the breast cancer cells that are 6-10-fold less than the IC50 of tamoxifen.
