  • Patent number: 8153817
    Abstract: Methyl nonactate is converted into a variety of different triazoloamide antibacterial agents by a reaction scheme involving (1) inversion of the secondary alcohol of the methyl nonactate to produce the corresponding azidoester, (2) converting the azido ester to the corresponding azidoamide, and (3) converting the azido group of the azidoamide to a triazole to produce the corresponding triazoloamide.

  • Patent number: 8143418
    Abstract: Caspase activity and apoptosis are promoted using active, dimeric Smac peptide mimetics of the general formula M1-L-M2, wherein moieties M1 and M2 are monomeric Smac mimetics and L is a covalent linker. Target cancerous or inflammatory cells are contacted with an effective amount of an active, dimeric Smac mimetic, and a resultant increase in apoptosis of the target cells is detected. The contacting step may be effected by administering to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of The compoundic mimetic, wherein the individual may be subject to concurrent or antecedent radiation or chemotherapy for treatment of a neoproliferative pathology.
