摘要:
Peptidomimetics of the formula C-AMBA-X where C is cysteine, X is, for example, methionine or phenylalanine and AMBA is a hydrophobic spacer, notably 3-aminomethylbenzoic acid. These compounds are effective inhibitors of p21ras farnesyltransferase. Other modifications including alternative spacers for AMBA, and replacement of the A.sub.1 A.sub.2 X component of known CA.sub.1 A.sub.2 X tetrapeptides by a non-peptide aryl or heterocyclic component are also disclosed as are various phosphorylated and arylated derivatives of peptides and peptidomimetics. Pro-drugs made by functionalizing terminal amino and carboxylic acid groups of peptides and peptidomimetics are also disclosed. Such functionalized derivatives demonstrate increased cell uptake. Other structural modifications are also referred to.
摘要:
A class of quinolinic sulfide derivatives of formula I are potent and specific antagonists at the strychnine insensitive glycine bitding site on the NMDA receptor complex with an pharmacological advantageous profile. They may be useful in treatment or prevention of neuro-degenerative disorders. Particularly, the compounds included in the present invention are especially useful for minimizing damage of the central nervous system arising as a consequence of ischemic or hypoxic condition such as stroke, hypoglycemia, cerebral ischemia, cardiac arrest, and physical trauma. They are also useful in prevention of chronic neurodegenerative disorders including epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinsonism. By virtue of their NMDA receptor antagonist properties, the present compounds may also use as anticonvulsant, analgesic, antidepressant, anxiolytic, and antischizophrenic agent. Formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, and R are defined in specification.
摘要:
Transport molecules include a dendrimer and a biologically active molecule. The dendrimer of such transport molecules includes at least one guanidine group, at least one protonated guanidine group, at least one protected guanidine group, at least one amidine group, at least one protonated amidine group, at least one protected amidine group, at least one ureido group, at least one protonated ureido group, at least one protected ureido group, at least one thioureido group, at least one protonated thioureido group, or at least one protected thioureido group. The biologically active molecule is bonded to the dendrimer. A method of increasing the bioavailability of a drug includes bonding the drug to a dendrimer of the invention.
