Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention,tetracyclic caboline derivatives that inhibit the expression of VEGF post-transcriptionally have been identified, and methods for their use provided. In one aspect of the invention, these compounds useful in the inhibition of VEGF production, in the inhibition of angiogenesis, and/or in the treatment of cancer, diabetic retinopathy or exudative macular degeneration are provided. In another aspect of the invention, methods are provided for the inhibition of VEGF production, the inhibition of angiogenesis, and/or the treatment of cancer, diabetic retinopathy or exudative macular degeneration using the compounds of the invention.
Abstract:
Methods, compositions and kits are disclosed. The methods are directed to determining the presence of entactogen analytes such as, for example, 3,4-methylenedioxamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA), 3,4-methylenedioxy-ethylamphetamine (MDEA) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-methamphetamine (HMMA). The method comprises providing in combination in a medium (i) a sample suspected of containing the compound and (ii) an antibody raised against a compound of Formula I that comprises a protein. The medium is examined for the presence a complex comprising the compound and the antibody where the presence of such as complex indicates the presence of the compound in the sample. In one aspect of the above embodiment, the combination further comprises a label conjugate of the compound Formula I.
Abstract:
Compounds having Formula (I) are useful for modulating the glucocorticoid receptor in a mammal. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of Formula (I) and methods of treating immune, autoimmune, inflammatory, adrenal imbalance, cognitive and behavioral diseases in a mammal.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide compounds (such as Formula (I) compounds, Formula (II) compounds, and various embodiments thereof). Compositions comprising those compounds are also provided. Methods for their preparation are included. Also, uses of the compounds are included, such as administering and treating diseases (e.g., cancer and infections).
Abstract:
Novel sulphones of Formula I are disclosed: wherein A completes a 4-7 membered ring optionally comprising up to two heteroatoms. The compounds modulate the action of g-secretase and are therefore useful in the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
