The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising gossypol acetic acid co-crystals and (−)-gossypol acetic acid co-crystals and the use of gossypol acetic acid co-crystals and (−)-gossypol acetic acid co-crystals for inducing apoptosis in cells and for sensitizing cells to the induction of apoptotic cell death.
Abstract:
The invention relates to conformationally constrained mimetics of Smac which function as inhibitors of Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins. The invention also relates to the use of these mimetics for inducing apoptotic cell death and for sensitizing cells to inducers of apoptosis.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method of detecting a malignancy or a pre-malignant lesion in breast or other tissue, or a pathologic condition, by detecting the presence of single-chain or two-chain forms of matriptase in the tissue. The invention is further directed to a method of treating malignancies, which have the phenotype of matriptase production by administering a tumor formation inhibiting effective amount of concentrate of Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBIC), or other matriptase inhibitor. The invention also is directed to nucleic acids encoding a matriptase protein or fragments thereof, and their use for structure elucidation and modeling to identify other inhibitors of matriptase, as well as to methods of identifying matriptase modulating agents, including activators and inhibitors.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the compound apogossypolone and salts and prodrugs thereof. Apogossypolone functions as an inhibitor of Bcl-2 family proteins. The invention also relates to the use of apogossypolone for inhibiting hyperproliferative cell growth, for inducing apoptosis in cells and for sensitizing cells to the induction of apoptotic cell death.
Abstract:
The invention relates to small molecules which function as inhibitors of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family member proteins (e.g., Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL). The invention also relates to the use of these compounds for inducing apoptotic cell death and sensitizing cells to the induction of apoptotic cell death.
Abstract:
