Abstract: The invention provides a method of increasing a deacetylated activity of SIRT6 by contacting SIRT6 with an agent that binds SIRT6 and reduces the Km of SIRT6 for a substrate, thereby increasing the deacetylase activity of SIRT6. The invention also provides compounds of the formulas (II) and (III).
Abstract: The present invention encompasses compositions and methods that activate P2Y receptors for the increased production of new synapses in the central nervous system. The formulations of the invention may be administered to a healthy subject or to a subject in need thereof to restore synapses.
Abstract: The present invention provides an agent that modulates physiological condition of pests, wherein the agent has an ability to modulate the activity of an insect vesicle-fusing ATPase; a method for assaying pesticidal activity of a test substance, which comprises measuring the activity of a vesicle-fusing ATPase in a reaction system in which the vesicle-fusing ATPase contacts with a test substance, and the like.

Abstract: Urea and thiourea derivatives inhibit cell function of the chemokine receptor CCR-3. These compounds offer an effective means for treating a range of diseases thought to be mediated by the CCR-3 receptor. A variety of useful urea and thiourea derivatives can be synthesized using liquid and solid phase synthesis protocols.
