  • Patent number: 7629471
    Abstract: Ascochlorin or an analog or derivative thereof and a compound having a primary amino group are mixed and reacted with each other in the presence/absence of a basic catalyst to synthesize a novel imino compound. The novel imino compound thus synthesized is a ligand capable of activating nuclear receptor superfamily such as retinoid orphan receptor (RXR), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) and steroid receptor (PXR), and shows an effect of promoting the transcription of a drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP7A1. The imino compound has a therapeutic effect on diseases such as lifestyle-related diseases, chronic inflammation and cancers.

  • Publication number: 20090023786
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to prodrugs of hydroxamic acid based histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, e.g., suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA). The prodrugs are acylated derivatives having increased aqueous solubility and cellular permeability as compared with the free hydroxamic acid, and are useful for inhibiting HDACs, and for selectively inducing terminal differentiation, cell growth arrest and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the prodrugs of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The prodrugs of the invention are also useful in the prevention and treatment of thioredoxin (TRX)-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases.
