  • Publication number: 20150140088
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the fields of chemistry and pharmacy and, in particular, to the production of novel molecular entities: esterane derivatives fused with spirostanes rings, acting upon the Central Nervous Systems (CNS). From diosgenin, a naturally occurring sapogenin, with some subsequent transformations thereof, spirosteroid derivatives of the I-IV general formula can be obtained, with a cyclopentaneperhydrophenantrene nucleus fused to a 25R-spirostanes nucleus. Such molecular entities have an anti-inflammatory and anti-glutamatergic actions that can be used to treat inflammatory, cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurologic diseases.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stabilizing a protein in a desired conformation by introducing at least one disulfide bond into the polypeptide. Computational design is used to identify positions where cysteine residues can be introduced to form a disulfide bond in only one protein conformation, and therefore lock the protein in a given conformation. Accordingly, antibody and small molecule therapeutics are selected that are specific for the desired protein conformation. Modified integrin I-domain polypeptides stabilized in a desired conformation are also provided, as well as screening assays and therapeutic methods utilizing the modified integrin I-domain polypeptides.
