Abstract:
The present technology is directed to compounds, compositions, and methods related to non-morphinan-like kappa opioid receptor (KOR) antagonists. The technology is suited to treat addiction, diuresis, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, an eating disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorders, excessive or unreasonable specific phobias, and/or other conditions related to anxiety or aversion-reward responses.
Abstract:
The present invention is a selective kappa opioid receptor effector, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, useful for treating ethanol use disorder withdrawal, anxiety and/or depression, schizophrenia, mania or post-traumatic stress disorder.
Abstract:
Compounds according to formula I or II are provided. Such compounds are useful in treating cancers, such as leukemia, colon cancer, breast cancer, or prostate cancer by beneficially inhibiting CYP17A1. Pharmaceutical compositions and methods including the compounds are also provided.
Abstract:
This invention provides cephalosporin derivatives for killing or inhibiting the spread of microorganisms such as non-replicating Mycobacterium tuberculosis and in the treatment of infectious disease.
Abstract:
Described herein are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating a respiratory syncytial virus infection in a subject, or for inhibiting replication of respiratory syncytial virus.
Abstract:
A functionalized polycyclic compound can have a structure of Formula 1 or salt, prodrug, analog, or derivative thereof, which compound can be prepared by providing a diene; reacting the diene with a dienophile under sufficient conditions for a combined Diels-Alder/acylation reaction so as to provide a polycyclic compound having a carboxylic acid; and coupling the carboxylic acid with an amine-containing compound or a hydroxyl-containing compound so as to form an amide or an ester and producing a compound having a structure of Formula 1. The compound can be used for modulating an opioid receptor, which can be conducted by administering to an opioid receptor a functionalized polycyclic compound as described herein in an effective amount to modulate the functionality of the opioid receptor. Such opioid modulation can provide a biological benefit to a subject.

Abstract:
The present technology relates to compounds and compositions of Formulas I-III and methods using such compounds. The compounds and compositions described herein may be used in the treatment or prophylaxis of diseases associated with an alphavirus, for example, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to molecules which function as selective modulators of the Ras-homologous (Rho) family of small GTPases, in particular, Cdc42 GTPase and their use to treat diseases, for example cancers, including metastatic cancer, genetic and acquired diseases where activation of Cdc42 GTPase plays a pivotal role, such as neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes type I, autosomal polycystic kidney disease, cystic kidney disease, precystic kidney disease, microbial infections, including Chlamydia infections, E. coli infections, H. pylori infections and its secondary effects including gastric ulcers, Coxiella Brunetti (Q-fever) infections and Streptococcus pneumonia infections, fungal infections including Paracoccidiodes brasiliensis and Candida albicans and their secondary effects including lung edema. Additionally, compounds according to the present invention may be used to inhibit rejection in transplant patients (pursuant to transplantation), to promote immunosuppression, anti-inflammatory response and to mobilize stem cell (migration) in patients in need, among others.
