Polycyclo Ring System Having The Oxazole Ring As One Of The Cyclos Patents (Class 548/241)
  • Patent number: 9884830
    Abstract: The tetracycline class of antibiotics has played a major role in the treatment of infectious diseases for the past 50 years. However, the increased use of the tetracyclines in human and veterinary medicine has led to resistance among many organisms previously susceptible to tetracycline antibiotics. The modular synthesis of tetracyclines and tetracycline analogs described provides an efficient and enantioselective route to a variety of tetracycline analogs and polycyclines previously inaccessible via earlier tetracycline syntheses and semi-synthetic methods. These analogs may be used as anti-microbial agents or anti-proliferative agents in the treatment of diseases of humans or other animals.

  • Patent number: 9447054
    Abstract: Disclosed is an anticancer supplement agent including a benzo[d]oxazole derivative as an effective ingredient. The benzo[d]oxazole derivative, which is a nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) inhibitor, is capable of inhibiting activity of Nrf2 that induces an antioxidant enzyme to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) that kills a cancer cell, thereby increasing production of ROS. Therefore, the benzo[d]oxazole derivative can be used as an anticancer supplement agent that shows therapeutic effects in anticancer agent therapy or radiation therapy, and in this regard, the benzo[d]oxazole derivative can overcome tolerance of the cancer cell to anticancer agent therapy or radiation therapy and enhance apoptotic effects on the cancer cell.
