  • Publication number: 20120149710
    Abstract: Bacterial infections, including Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are a major health problem that has created a pressing need for new antibiotics. Pyridazinone, rhodanine, and pyrazolethione compounds effective inhibit the enzymatic activity of sortase A (srtA) found in gram positive bacteria are disclosed. A structure activity relationship (SAR) analysis led to the identification of several pyridazinone and pyrazolethione analogs that inhibit SrtA with IC50 values in the sub-micromolar range. Compounds that inhibit the S. aureus SrtA sortase may function as potent anti-infective agents as this enzyme attaches virulence factors to the cell wall. Many of these molecules also inhibit the sortase enzyme from B. anthracis suggesting that they may be generalized sortase inhibitors. The novel compounds, compositions, uses, formulations, medicaments, articles of manufacture provide improved materials, uses, and treatments useful in combating infectious disorders.

  • Publication number: 20110207767
    Abstract: This invention relates to novel analogs of the DNA-alkylating agent CC-1065 and to their conjugates. Furthermore this invention concerns intermediates for the preparation of said agents and conjugates. The conjugates are designed to release their (multiple) payload after one or more activation steps and/or at a rate and time span controlled by the conjugate in order to selectively deliver and/or controllably release one or more of said DNA alkylating agents. The agents, conjugates, and intermediates can be used to treat an illness that is characterized by undesired (cell) proliferation. As an example, the agents and the conjugates of this invention may be used to treat a tumor.
