摘要:
The invention relates to crystalline peptide keto epoxide compounds, methods of their preparation, and related pharmaceutical compositions. This invention also relates to methods for the preparation of amino acid keto-epoxides. Specifically, allylic ketones are stereoselectively converted to the desired keto epoxides.
摘要:
Peptide-based compounds including heteroatom-containing, three-membered rings efficiently and selectively inhibit specific activities of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases. The activities of those Ntn having multiple activities can be differentially inhibited by the compounds described. For example, the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome may be selectively inhibited with the inventive compounds. The peptide-based compounds include an epoxide or aziridine, and functionalization at the N-terminus. Among other therapeutic utilities, the peptide-based compounds are expected to display anti-inflammatory properties and inhibition of cell proliferation.
摘要:
Liposomal compositions comprising peptide epoxyketone compounds are described, as well as methods of making and using such liposomal compositions. These liposomal compositions enhance the therapeutic window of peptide epoxyketone compounds by improving in vivo half-life relative to non-liposomal compositions comprising peptide epoxyketone compounds, providing desirable pharmacodynamic profiles, and providing anti-tumor activity in a human tumor xenograft model, greater than or equal to non-liposomal compositions comprising peptide epoxyketone compounds. Further, experiments performed in support of the present invention demonstrated improved tolerability of liposomal compositions comprising peptide epoxyketone compounds.
摘要:
The invention provides combination therapy, wherein one or more other therapeutic agents are administered agents are administered with peptide epoxyketones or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Another aspect of the invention relates to treating cancer with a peptide epoxyketone administered in combination with another therapeutic agent.

摘要:
Peptide-based compounds including heteroatom-containing, three-membered rings efficiently and selectively inhibit specific activities of N-terminal nucleophile (Ntn) hydrolases associated with the proteasome. The peptide-based compounds include an epoxide or aziridine, and functionalization at the N-terminus. Among other therapeutic utilities, the peptide-based compounds are expected to display anti-inflammatory properties and inhibition of cell proliferation. Oral administration of these peptide-based proteasome inhibitors is possible due to their bioavailability profiles.
