  • Publication number: 20140356417
    Abstract: Drag derivatives are provided herein which are suitable for loading into liposomal nanoparticle carriers. In some preferred aspects, the derivatives comprise a poorly water-soluble drag derivatized with a weak-base moiety that facilitates active loading of the drag through a LN transmembrane pH or ion gradient into the aqueous interior of the LN. The weak-base moiety can optionally comprise a lipophilic domain that facilitates active loading of the drag to the inner monolayer of the liposomal membrane. Advantageously, LN formulations of the drag derivatives exhibit improved solubility, reduced toxicity, enhanced efficacy, and/or other benefits relative to the corresponding free drags.

  • Patent number: 7232818
    Abstract: Peptide-based compounds including heteroatom-containing, three-membered rings efficiently and selectively inhibit specific activities of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases. The activities of those Ntn having multiple activities can be differentially inhibited by the compounds described. For example, the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome may be selectively inhibited with the inventive compounds. The peptide-based compounds include at least three peptide units, an epoxide or aziridine, and functionalization at the N-terminus. Among other therapeutic utilities, the peptide-based compounds are expected to display anti-inflammatory properties and inhibition of cell proliferation.

  • Patent number: 7049313
    Abstract: The application concerns a compound of formula I: wherein one of P and Q is O, and the other of P and Q is CH, where there is a double bond between whichever of Q and P is CH and the carbon atom bearing the R3 group; Y is either O or S; R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, an optionally substituted C1-7 alkyl group, C3-20 heterocyclyl group, or C5-20 aryl group, or may together form an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring having from 4 to 8 ring atoms; R3 is a phenyl or pyridyl group, attached by a first bridge group selected from —S—, —S(?O)—, —S(?O)2—, —O—, —NRN— and CRC1RC2— to an optionally substituted C5-20 carboaryl group, the phenyl or pyridyl group and optionally substituted C5-20 carboaryl group being optionally further linked by a second bridge group, so as to form an optionally substituted C5-7 ring, the phenyl or pyridyl group being further optionally substituted.
