Abstract:
A conjugate of somatostatin-spacer-drug and a method of making the same. The conjugate can be used to enhance an anti-cancer drug's specificity on the targeted tumor cells, thus increasing its therapeutic efficacy while reducing side-effects.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds which are potent inhibitors against Lpd activity, PDH activity, and/or the growth of tubercle bacillus, and thus are useful in the treatment of tuberculosis infection and associated conditions. The present invention is further directed to in vitro- and in vzivo-based methods of inhibiting Lpd and/or PDH activity. In certain embodiments, these methods are useful in inhibiting Lpd and/or PDH activity key to a pathogen's survival.

Abstract:
Methods for identifying agents capable of disrupting a salt bridge in an influenza A virus nucleoprotein corresponding to the E339 . . . R416 salt bridge in SEQ ID NO:1, and thus the trimerization of the NP protein; and uses of such agents, e.g., small molecules and peptides, for inhibiting influenza virus replication and treating infection caused by influenza virus.
