摘要:
Compounds of formulas 1 through 17 provided in the specification specifically or selectively inhibit either the cytochrome P450RAI-1 enzyme or the cytochrome P450RAI-2 enzyme.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula where the variations have the meaning defined in the specification are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable side effects of transiently increasing triglyceride levels and reducing serum thyroxine levels.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for treating an individual having a retinoid responsive disorder. In one embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26B inhibitor, the selective CYP26B inhibitor having at least 10-fold selectivity for CYP26B relative to CYP26A. In another embodiment, a method involves administering to the individual an effective amount of a selective CYP26A inhibitor, the selective CYP26A inhibitor having a chemical formula set forth in the specification. The invention further provides screening methods for identifying a selective CYP26A inhibitor or selective CYP26B inhibitor.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula: where the variables have the meaning defined in the specification are capable of reducing serum glucose levels in diabetic mammals without the undesirable side effects of reducing serum thyroxine levels and transiently increasing triglyceride levels.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula where the variables are as defined in the specification, are useful for preventing or treating emphysema and related pulmonary conditions of mammals and other diseases and conditions which are responsive to RARγ agonist retinoids, such as skin related diseases, including but not limited to acne and psoriasis.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula where the variables are defined in the specification have cytochrome P450RAI-1 and P450RAI-2 inhibitory activity, and are suitable for treatment of mammals with conditions which are treatable with retinoids, or which are controlled by or responsive to the organism's native retinoic acid. Formulations containing the compounds of the invention can also be co-administered with retinoids and/or Vitamin A to enhance or prolong the effects of medications containing retinoids, Vitamin A, or of the organism's native retinoic acid.
摘要:
Compounds of Formula 1, Formula 2 or Formula 3 where X is O, S, or (CR.sub.1 R.sub.1).sub.n where n is 0, 1 or 2; Y is a bivalent radical having Formula 4 or Formula 5 where o is an integer from 1 to 4 ##STR1## or Y is a bivalent aryl or 5 or 6 membered heteroaryl radical having 1 to 3 heteroatoms selected from N, S and O, said aryl or heteroaryl groups being unsubstituted, or substituted with 1 to 3 C.sub.1-6 alkyl or with 1 to 3 C.sub.1-6 fluoroalkyl groups; and the remaining symbols have the meaning described in the specification, have RXR selective retinoid agonist-like activity.
摘要:
Polymers that can include an end-cap selected from Formula (I) and/or Formula (II) and a recurring unit of the Formulae (III), and/or (IV). The polymers can include various substituents such as drug, targeting agents, stabilizing agents, imaging agent and polydentate ligands. Such polymer can be useful for variety of drug, targeting, stabilizing and/or imaging agent delivery applications.
