摘要:
The present invention includes a crystal comprising a complex of the pro form of a matrix metalloprotease (proMMP) and a small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitor that inhibits that activation of the proMMP, methods for identifying small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit the activation of a proMMP, and methods of treatment using small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit the activation of a proMMP. The present invention relates to the crystal structure of a complex of proMMP9 bound to a small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitor that inhibits activation of proMMP9. The invention further relates to the use of the methods and the crystal and related structural information for designing, selecting and/or optimizing small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors that inhibit activation of proMMP9 and proMMP9 homologues. The present invention also relates to the use of small-molecule allosteric processing inhibitors for the treatment of diseases mediated by inappropriate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity.

摘要:
Methods and compositions for identifying compounds which disrupt the functional interaction of an intracellular receptor region of an α-subunit of a voltage-gated ion channel and an amino-terminal inactivation region of an ion channel protein are disclosed. Compounds that disrupt the functional or binding interaction of these two regions have significant modulatory effects on ion channel activity, and thus are likely to be useful for treating and/or preventing a wide variety of diseases and pathological conditions associated with ion channel dysfunction. Such conditions include, for example, neurological disorders, cardiac diseases, metabolic diseases, tumor-driven diseases, and autoimmune diseases.
摘要:
The present invention relates to Death Receptor-6 (DR6) proteins which are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family, and have now been shown to be important for regulating apoptosis in cells of the nervous system. In addition, it has been discovered that p75 is a ligand for DR6. As a result, this invention relates to methods for inhibiting the interaction of DR6 and p75 using DR6 and/or p75 antagonists. In addition, the methods described herein include methods of promoting survival of cells of the nervous system using DR6 antagonists, optionally in combination with p75 antagonists, and methods of treating neurodegenerative conditions by the administration of a DR6 antagonists, optionally in combination with a p75 antagonist.
