摘要:
Modulating agents for inhibiting or enhancing nonclassical cadherin mediated cell adhesion are provided. The modulating agents comprise one or more of: (a) a peptide sequence that is at least 50% identical to a nonclassical cadherin CAR sequence; (b) a non-peptide mimetic of a nonclassical cadherin CAR sequence; (c) a substance, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds a nonclassical cadherin CAR sequence; and/or (d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that comprises a nonclassical cadherin CAR sequence or analogue thereof. Methods for using such modulating agents for modulating nonclassical cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in a variety of contexts are also provided.
摘要:
Methods for improved administration and dosing of DPD inhibitors in combination with 5-FU and/or 5-FU prodrugs are provided, comprising first administering to a patient in need thereof a DPD inhibitor that substantially eliminates activity of the enzyme and thereafter administering 5-FU or a 5-FU prodrug, wherein the level of 5-FU or 5-FU prodrug is in substantial excess of DPD inhibitor in the patient.
摘要:
Compounds, particularly compounds having activity as modulators of cadherin-mediated cell adhesion having the following structure: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer or prodrug thereof, wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, A, X, Y, Z, m and n are as defined herein. Methods associated with preparation and use of the same, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the same, are also disclosed.
摘要:
Chemically modified cyclic peptides comprising cell adhesion recognition (CAR) sequences are provided having improved properties, such as improved stability. Also provided are methods of making and using same.
摘要:
Improved methods for treating cancer which employ combinations comprising cadherin antagonists with certain anticancer agents or treatments are provided. The methods of the invention involve the administration of cadherin antagonist before, concurrent with, or after, administration of an anticancer agent or treatment and provide unexpectedly improved therapeutic benefit in the treatment of tumors growing in vivo.

Cyclic peptides comprising a cadherin cell adhesion recognition sequence HAV, and compositions comprising such cyclic peptides, are provided. Methods for using such peptides for modulating cadherin-mediated cell adhesion in a variety of contexts are also provided.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for modulating OB-cadherin-mediated functions are provided. The compositions and methods employ OB-cadherin modulating agents which generally comprise one or more of: (a) a peptide sequence that is at least 50% identical to an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; (b) a non-peptide mimetic of an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; (c) a substance, such as an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that specifically binds an OB-cadherin CAR sequence; and/or (d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide that comprises an OB-cadherin CAR sequence or analogue thereof.
