Abstract:
The disclosure features novel lipids and compositions involving the same. Nanoparticle compositions include a novel lipid as well as additional lipids such as phospholipids, structural lipids, and PEG lipids. Nanoparticle compositions further including therapeutic and/or prophylactics such as RNA are useful in the delivery of therapeutic and/or prophylactics to mammalian cells or organs to, for example, regulate polypeptide, protein, or gene expression.

Abstract:
Among other things, the present invention provides novel isoprenyl compounds capable of effectively modulating inflammatory responses and pharmaceutical, cosmetic, cosmeceutical and topical compositions comprising these isoprenyl compounds. Anti-inflammatory compounds of the present invention are useful in treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with inflammation. Proinflammatory compounds of the present invention are useful in treating or preventing diseases or conditions associated with suppression of inflammatory responses. Thus, the present invention also provides methods useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions associated with inflammation as well as methods useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases or conditions associated with suppression of inflammatory responses.
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a polythiol compound having a total nitrogen content of 50 to 600 ppm inclusive can be provided. According to the present invention, a method for producing the polythiol compound can also be provided, said method being characterized by comprising the steps of: reacting a polyalcohol with thiourea to prepare a thiuronium salt; and adding at least one base selected from the group consisting of hydrazine (hydrate), ammonia and an amine and an inorganic base (that is different from hydrazine (hydrate) or ammonia) to the thiuronium salt in the presence of an organic solvent to hydrolyze the thiuronium salt.
Abstract:
The present invention provides trichloroethyl-sulfonylurea-containing compounds that inhibit glycing transporters, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods for using such compounds for inhibiting glycine transporters and methods for using such compounds for the treatment of disease states in which glycine is involved.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel compounds which make it possible to transfer nucleic acids into cells. These novel compounds are lipid derivatives of polythiourea. They are useful for the in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo transfection of nucleic acids into various cell types.
Abstract:
A synthesis is described for intermediates which are readily amenable to the large scale preparation of hydroxyethylurea-based chiral HIV protease inhibitors. The method includes forming a diastereoselective epoxide from a chiral alpha amino aldehyde.
Abstract:
Urea-containing hydroxyethylamine peptide compounds are effective as retroviral protease inhibitors, and in particular as inhibitors of HIV protease.
