Abstract:
Provided are compounds of the Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein W, X, Y, Z, x, R1, R2, R3, x and n are defined in the specification. The compounds are inhibitors of lysyl oxidase (LOX) and lysyl oxidase-like (LOXL) family members (LOXL1, LOXL2, LOXL3, LOXL4) and are useful in therapy, particularly in the treatment of cancer. Also disclosed are LOX inhibitors for use in the treatment of a cancer associated with EGFR and biomarkers that predict responsiveness to a LOX inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a method of inhibiting, suppressing or preventing HBV infection in an individual in need thereof, comprising administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to pharmaceutical agents, and in particular, to metalloprotease inhibitor compounds. More particularly, the present invention provides a new class of dual acting MMP-2 and MMP-9 inhibiting compounds that exhibit increased potency, metabolic stability and/or reduced toxicity in relation to currently known MMP-2 and MMP-9 inhibitors for the treatment of pain and other diseases. Additionally, the present invention relates to methods for treating pain, addiction and/or withdrawal symptoms in a patient comprising administering to the patient a pain-reducing effective amount of a present compound.
Abstract:
Provided is a compound having a superior acid secretion suppressive action, which shows an antiulcer activity and the like. A compound represented by the formula (I) or a salt thereof:
wherein ring A is as defined in claim 1; R 1 and R 2 are each a cyclic group optionally having substituent(s); R 3 and R 4 are each H or alkyl, or R 3 and R 4 form, together with the adjacent N, an nitrogen-containing heterocycle; and Y is a spacer.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention include methods of treating, preventing, and/or reduce the risk or severity of a condition selected from the group consisting of muscle wasting, muscle weakness, cachexia, and a combination thereof in an individual in need thereof. In some embodiments, particular small molecules are employed for treatment, prevention, and/or reduction in the risk of muscle wasting. In at least particular cases, the small molecules are inhibitors of STAT3.
