Abstract:
Composition, article of manufacture for and method of treating malaria in a human having an infestation of Plasmodium protozoans are described. The method comprises administering a therapeutically-effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or (IV), i.e. sufficient quantity to reduce the population of Plasmodium. The composition of the invention is a compound of formula (I) or (IV) with a pharmaceutical excipient. The article of manufacture is the composition in combination with labeling for treating malaria. The substituents are detailed in the specification.
Abstract:
Novel compounds having various biological activities useful as drugs and animal drugs. Compounds represented by general formula (I) and salts or metal complexes thereof, wherein R1 represents COOR?4, CONR5R6, CO-R7¿-OR or CH¿2?OR?8; R2¿ represents hydrogen, alkyl, aralkyl, heteroaryl, heteroaryl-alkyl, COR?13, COOR14¿ or CONR?15R16; R3¿ represents oxygen or OR3'; and the broken line (- - -) represents the presence of a double bond when R3 is oxygen, or the absence of a double bond when R?3 is OR3'¿.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Iron overload is associated with pathological conditions such as oxidative stress, transfusional iron overload, thalassemia, primary hemochromatosis, secondary hemochromatosis, diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, cancer, radiation injury, neurological or neurodegenerative disorder, Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), macular degeneration, closed head injury, irritable bowel disease, and reperfusion injury. The present invention provides methods and pharmaceutical compositions using desferrithiocin analogs of Formulae (A) and (J) for treating and/or preventing these pathological conditions, metal (e.g., iron, aluminum, a lanthanide, or an actinide (e.g., uranium)) overload conditions, and infectious diseases (e.g., malaria).
Abstract:
The present invention provides, among other things, effective oral formulations based on desazadesferrithiocin polyether (DADFT-PE) analogues, salts and polymorphs thereof, as well as their application for treatment of metal overload, in particular, iron overload, and associated diseases, disorders and conditions.
Abstract:
[Problem] It is an object of the present invention to provide a firefly luciferin and firefly luciferin analog that are modified to maintain luminescent activity by luciferase in a firefly bioluminescent system. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new luminescent substrate for which the emission wavelength in a firefly bioluminescent system is shifted to a longer wavelength than that of a conventional luminescent substrate. [Solution] The present invention provides a luciferin in which the benzothiazole ring moiety has been modified at the 7-position, a luciferin analog in which the benzene ring moiety has been modified at the 6-position, and a luciferin analog in which the 6-(dialkylamino)-2-naphthalenyl moiety has been modified at the 5-position.
