    摘要: The present invention provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods that are useful in modulating the farnesoid X receptor (FXR). As FXR is involved in negatively controlling the expression level of cholesterol 7&agr;-hydroxylase (cyp7a), the rate-limiting enzyme involved in the oxidative metabolism of cholesterol into bile acids, the compounds described herein find utility in treating diseases associated with abnormally high or low cholesterol levels. In certain aspects, the FXR modulators (e.g., antagonists) described herein block the negative feed-back downregulation of cyp7a expression produced by certain cholic acids, the endogenous ligands for FXR. Moreover, as FXR forms heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) in some cell types, modulation of the level of FXR activity in cells has a wide range of effects on a variety of biological processes which are mediated by RXR or other RXR-interacting proteins such as PPAR&ggr; and PPAR&agr;. Thus, compounds described herein are useful in treating other biological activities such as obesity, diabetes, lipid associated disorders, cancer, inflammatory disorders, disorders involving a disrupted or dysfunctional epidermal barrier, and various other metabolic disorders.

    摘要: Derivatives of known tubulin-binding compounds are provided in which a (poly)fluorobenzene, a fluoropyridine, or a fluoronitrobenzene moiety is incorporated or added to the structure. These derivatives can be used as antimitotic agents and can be considered covalent modifiers of tubulin. The strategy developed for each of the compounds is to i) append a fluorinated electrophile (e.g., pentafluorophenylsulfonamido, 2-fluoropyridyl, or 3,5-dinitro-4-fluorophenyl) to an existing functional group in a natural product, ii) replace an aromatic ring in a natural product with a fluorinated electrophile, or iii) attach a fluorinated electrophile to an open valence in a portion of the molecule that will not interfere with recognition and binding to the tubulin site. Derivatives are provided based on colchicine, steganacin, podophyllotoxin, nocodazole, combretastatin, curacin A, vinblastine, vincristine, dolastatin, 2-methoxyestradiol, dihydroxy-pentamethoxyflavanone and others.
