摘要:
Combretastatins analog compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are presented, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the combretastatin analog compounds and uses of the combretastatin analog compounds, either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, in the treatment of cancer, and in particular cancer presenting as metastatic tumors.
摘要:
The present disclosure encompasses compounds and compositions that are useful as specific AI-2 antagonists for the control of bacterial quorum sensing. Although the AI-2 antagonists according to the present disclosure may not have bactericidal effect, their ability to attenuate virulence, drug resistance, and/or biofilm formation have therapeutic benefits. In addition, the AI-2 antagonists of the present disclosure can also be used as tools to probe bacterial AI-2 functions. The present disclosure also encompasses methods for inhibiting or attenuating microbial virulence, biofilm formation, and drug resistance. The methods are suitable for preventing bacteria from accruing and forming extensive biofilms that may be a health or hygiene hazard or a physical issue, such as in the blockage of water or fuel lines.
