摘要:
Compounds that modulate gene expression through the estrogen receptor (ER) are disclosed having formula (I), as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the same wherein R1, R2, R3, n and p are as defined here. In a specific embodiment, the compounds are selective modulators for ER-β over ER-α. Methods are also disclosed for modulating ER-β in cells and/or tissues expressing the same, including cells and/or tissues that preferentially express ER-β. More generally, methods for treating estrogen-related conditions are also disclosed, including conditions such as breast cancer, testicular cancer, osteoporosis, endometriosis, cardiovascular disease, hypercholesterolemia, prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic carcinomas, obesity, hot flashes, skin effects, mood swings, memory loss, urinary incontinence, hairloss, cataracts, natureal hormonal imbalances, and adverse reproductive effects associated with exposure to environmental chemicals.
摘要:
Conditionally-immortalized human mesencephalon cell lines are provided. Such cell lines, which may be clonal, may be used to generate neurons, including dopaminergic neurons. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may be used for the development of therapeutic agents to prevent and treat a variety of neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may also be used in assays and for the general study of mesencephalon cell development and differentiation.
摘要:
Conditionally-immortalized PNS progenitor cell lines are provided. Such cell lines, which may be clonal, may be used to generate neurons. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may be used for the development of therapeutic agents to prevent and treat a variety of PNS-related diseases. The cell lines and/or differentiated cells may also be used in assays and for the general study of PNS cell development, death and abnormalities.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of conditions associated with mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. In particular, the mitogen-activated protein kinase p38-2, and polypeptide variants thereof that stimulate phosphorylation and activation of substrates such as ATF2, are provided. The polypeptides may be used, for example, to identify antibodies and other agents that inhibit signal transduction via the p38-2 kinase cascade. The polypeptides and agents may be used in a variety of methods, such as in the reduction of pain sensations.
摘要:
A method and pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting viral replication in infected cells are described. The pharmaceutical composition includes a DNA fragment which has covalently linked strands. The DNA fragment contains a 6-30 base pair region whose sequence corresponds to that of a regulatory element in a virus. The method includes introducing a fragment into the cell in an amount sufficient to inhibit replication of the virus in the cell.
摘要:
This invention is directed to Indazole Compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates and hydrates thereof. The Indazole Compounds have utility in the treatment or prevention of a wide range of diseases and disorders that are responsive to the inhibition, modulation or regulation of kinases, such as inflammatory diseases, abnormal angiogenesis and diseases related thereto, cancer, atherosclerosis, a cardiovascular disease, a renal disease, an autoimmune condition, macular degeneration, disease-related wasting, an asbestos-related condition, pulmonary hypertension, diabetes, obesity, pain and others. Thus, methods of treating or preventing such diseases and disorders are also disclosed, as are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the Indazole Compounds. This invention is based, in part, upon the discovery of a novel class of 5-triazolyl substituted indazole molecules that have potent activity with respect to the modulation of protein kinases. Thus, the invention encompasses orally active molecules as well as parenterally active molecules which can be used at lower doses or serum concentrations for treating diseses or disorders associated with protein kinase signal transduction.
摘要:
Methods are provided for identifying agents that modulate signaling mediated by transforming growth factor beta (TGF- beta ) and members of the TGF- beta family, such as bone morphogenic protein (BMP). Such agents may be identified using screens that evaluate candidate agents for the ability to modulate Smad protein degradation. Agents identified as described herein may be used to augment or inhibit signaling mediated by one or more TGF- beta family members in a variety of cell types and for therapeutic purposes.
摘要:
The present invention generally relates to compounds and compositions useful for the modulation of ligase activity. The invention further relates to Compounds of the Invention, compositions thereof, and methods for treating or preventing cancer, a neoplastic disorder, acute or chronic renal failure, an inflammatory disorder, an immune disorder, a cardiovascular disease, an effect of aging or an infectious disease comprising administering an effective amount of a Compound of the Invention. The invention further relates to the use of a Compound of the Invention as a preservative of a cell, blood, tissue or an organ or as an agent to modulate stem cells.
摘要:
The invention relates to substituted diaminopyrimidine compounds, which are effective therapeutic compounds for treating diseases and disorders associated with those commonly treated by Protein Kinase C theta (PKCtheta) inhibitors.
摘要:
Benzopyranone compounds having the structure of formula (I), are disclosed. The compounds of formula (I), wherein R1 is H, can be prepared by demethylation of the corresponding phenolic methyl ether. The compounds are useful for treating a bone-resorbing disease, cancer, arthritis or an estrogen-related condition such as breast cancer, osteoporosis, endometriosis, cardiovascular disease, hypercholesterolemia, prostatic hypertrophy, prostatic carcinomas, obesity, hot flashes, skin effects, mood swings, memory loss, and adverse reproductive effects associated with exposure to environmental chemicals or natural hormonal imbalances.
