摘要:
The invention provides the compounds of formula (): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, A, X, Y, a, b and n are as defined herein. Also disclosed are methods for making the compounds of formula (I) and their use in treating or preventing diseases associated with cell overproliferation and dysfunctional sphingolipid signal transduction. The invention also encompasses the use of the compounds in combination with an apoptosis-signaling ligand, such as Fas ligand. Preferably, the Fas ligand is administered in the form of a gene therapy agent.
摘要:
The present invention relates to cationic ceramides, their dihydro-analogs and aromatic analogs and their derivatives, comprising a pyridinium group. Also provided are methods for making cationic ceramides comprising a pyridinium group, and their use for treating or preventing diseases associated with cell overproliferation and sphingolipid signal transduction, such as cancer, inflammation, and stenosis. The compounds are also useful as mitochondritropic agents that are localized to mitochondria carrying with them chemical cargoes, such as drugs, or signaling molecules, such as fluorophores for probing organelle structure and functions.
摘要:
The presently disclosed subject matter provides compounds of the formula, formula (Ia): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, X, Y, and n are as defined herein. Also disclosed are methods for making the compounds of the formula as set forth hereinabove, their use in inhibiting acid ceramidase and ceramidase-related activity, and their use as drugs and prodrugs in the treatment and/or prevention of diseases associated with undesirable ceramidase or sphingosine kinase activity, including, but not limited to, cancer, cancer metastasis, atherosclerosis, stenosis, inflammation, asthma, and atopic dermatitis.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are compounds, compositions, methods of treatment and synthetic methods for making compounds related to Ceramides and the use of Ceramides.
