Abstract:
The invention describes methods of treating cancer in which a therapeutically-effective amount of a 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase inhibitor is administered to a subject in need thereof, including a subject with a refractory cancer and/or a subject currently undergoing another cancer treatment, wherein the 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase inhibitor is administered in combination with a therapeutically-effective amount of at least one additional therapeutic agent, including, but not limited to, another anti-cancer agent or a steroid.
Abstract:
Steroidal C-17 nitrogen-containing heterocycles of Formula I: wherein: the ABCD ring structure is the nucleus of a steroid, or an analog thereof; X is a group capable of coordinating a heme group of CYP17, and Y is an hydroxyl functionality, a suitable ester, or a prodrug group, for the treatment of urogenital and/or androgen-related cancers, such as castration-resistant prostate cancer. The invention provides methods of synthesizing new chemical entities and methods of using the same in treating urogenital and/or androgen-related cancers.
Abstract:
Compounds of Formula (I), wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, T, W, X, Y and Z are as defined herein are provided, together with pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrates and/or prodrugs thereof. Methods of using these compounds for inhibiting beta amyloid production and for treatment of Alzheimer's Disease and Down's syndrome are described
Abstract:
A logically ordered array of 10,240 different compounds, each compound prepared from the reaction product of an oxazolone, aldehyde and amine.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed, in part, to compounds and methods for imaging myocardial perfusion, comprising administering to a patient a contrast agent which comprises a compound that binds MC-1, and an imaging moiety, and scanning the patient using diagnostic imaging.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to novel chemical agents for compounds and their use for imaging myocardial perfusion. The invention also is directed to a kit for forming such novel agents. The chemical agents for the present invention comprising (a) a cardiotonic moiety and (b) an imaging moiety.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a class of aminimides structurally characterized as an acyl nitrogen-nitrogen ylide such that the acyl moiety possess the structural diversity element G, the quaternary nitrogen possess structural diversity elements E and F, and the quaternary nitrogen is bonded to a hydroxyethyl substituent, which in turn is bonded to an aminomethylene moiety that possess structural diversity elements A and B from the amino group and diversity element c from the methylene substituent, as shown below, ##STR1## wherein structural diversity element A, B, C, D, E, F and G are chosen from the set of elements consisting of substituted and unsubstituted as well as branched and straight chain alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, carbocyclic, heterocyclic, hydrogen, amino acid, peptide, polypeptide, protein, depsipeptide, carbohydrate derivatives, nucleotide derivatives, oligonucleotide derivatives, naturally occurring or synthetic organic structural motifs, reporter elements, organic moieties containing at least one polymerizable group, macromolecular component, resin, silicate, other surface and particle support, the diversity elements can be the same, can be different, and can also be connected to form a ringed to several ringed species.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to an m.times.n array of different chemical compounds wherein each of said compounds has at least one structural diversity element selected from a group of amines and ketones and wherein the scaffold structure is selected from a group consisting of aminimide, imidazolone, sulfonylaminimide and phosphonylaminimide.
Abstract:
Prodrugs of C-17-heterocyclic-steroidal drugs providing improved oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics are described. The drugs are inhibitors of human CYP 17 enzyme, as well as potent antagonists of both wild type and mutant androgen receptors (AR), and are useful for the treatment of urogenital and/or androgen-related cancers, diseases and/or conditions, such as human prostate cancer, breast cancer, and prostate hyperplasia. The disclosure describes methods of synthesizing and using the prodrugs in cancer therapy.
