The heterocyclic compounds of the invention are described by Formulas (I)-(VIII) and by Compounds (1)-(7), (13)-(26), (27)-(33), (48)-(57), and (58)-(70). These necrostatins are shown to inhibit TNF-? induced necroptosis in FADD-deficient variant of human Jurkat T cells. The invention further features pharmaceutical compositions featuring necrostatins. The compounds and compositions of the invention may also be used to treat disorders where necroptosis is likely to play a substantial role.

  • Publication number: 20140005187
    Abstract: The present invention identifies the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway, including the enzyme oxidosqualene cyclase, as new protein targets for anti-tumor therapeutics. The present invention further provides a class of oxidosqualene cyclase inhibitors containing a tertiary amine linked with aromatic ring structures, as a new class of anticancer agents. Compounds disclosed herein have been tested in 19 cell lines including breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer (including drug-resistant lung cancer H69AR), colon cancer, ovarian cancer (including drug-resistant OVCAR-3), and pancreatic cancer cells, as wells as in human breast and prostate xenograft tumor growth in nude mice, and have been shown to be active.
