Abstract:
Inhibitors of NKCCl, such as bumetanide, when coadministered with inhibitors of GABA transaminase, such as vigabatrin, attenuate both the retinal toxicity and the intramyelinic edema.
Abstract:
Therapeutic sulfonamide compounds with the formula R-Q-Ar-SO 2 NH 2 are disclosed, wherein R is an aryl, hetaryl, alkyl or cycloalkyl group, Q is the group -L(CH 2 ) n -, wherein n = 0,1 or 2 and L is the group - NHCXNH-, -NHC(S)SNH-, -NHCONHCSNH- or -SO 2 NH-, X is O or S and Ar is a C 6 -C 10 aromatic or a heteroaromatic group that contains at least one heteroatom of oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur, which compounds selectively inhibit CAIX and CAXII, and which are effective in inhibiting hypoxic tumor growth, suppress metastases, and impair and deplete cancer stem cells in mammals.
Abstract:
In one aspect, the invention relates to substituted substituted 2-hydroxy-4-(2- (phenylsulfonamido)acetamido)benzoic acid analogs, derivatives thereof, and related compounds, which are useful as inhibitors of STAT protein activity; synthetic methods for making the compounds; pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds; and methods of treating disorders of uncontrolled cellular proliferation associated with a STAT protein activity dysfunction using the compounds and compositions.

Abstract:
The present invention provides acylsulfonamides including bumetanide derivatives and compositions comprising such analogs. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions containing these compounds and methods for their use. All of these analogs are particularly useful for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions that involve the Na+K+Cl- co-transporter or GABAA receptor including but not limited to addictive disorders, Alzheimer's Disease, anxiety disorders, ascites, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders (autism), bipolar disorder, cancer, the improvement of cognitive function, cognitive impairment, cognitive dysfunction, depression, endothelial corneal dystrophy, edema, epilepsy, glaucoma, Huntington's Disease, inflammatory pain, insomnia, ischemia, migraine, migraine with aura, migraine without aura, neuropathic pain, nociceptive neuralgia, nociceptive pain, ocular diseases, pain, Parkinson's disease, periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD), personality disorders, postherpetic neuralgia, psychosis, restless legs syndrome (RLS), schizophrenia, seizure disorders, spasticity, tinnitus, and withdrawal syndromes.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for the prophylaxis and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are disclosed herein. More specifically the present invention discloses describes an autologous dendritic cell (DC) vaccine product derived by culturing a patient's monocytes with granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interferon alpha 2b (IFN-a), loading the DC with a mixture of five lipopeptides of Gag, Nef and Pol HIV antigens, and, optionally activating the DC with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to sulfonamide derivatives as a serotonin receptor antagonist and serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The sulfonamide derivatives have serotonin 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor antagonizing and serotonin reuptake inhibiting functions, and thus may be efficiently applied to a CNS-related disease such as depression, obesity, psychosis, schizophrenia, suicidal tendency, anxiety, obsessional neurosis, migraine, appetite disorders, sleep disorders, stroke, and withdrawal symptoms caused by drug abuse.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to compounds that are glucuronidase inhibitors. Glucuronidase inhibitors described include phenoxy thiophene sulfonamides. Other compounds, for instance pyridine sulfonyls, benzene sulfonyls, thiophene sulfonyls, thiazole sulfonyls, thiophene carbonyls, and thiazole carbonyls, are also contemplated. Also contemplated are compositions including one or more of such compounds for use inhibiting glucuronidase and methods of using one or more of such compounds as a co-drug to be used in combination with the anticancer drug CPT-11.
Abstract:
The present specification provides compositions comprising a thioxanthone-based autophagy inhibitor and/or a cancer therapeutic autophagy inducing compound, pharmaceutical kits comprising these compositions, and methods of treating cancer using such compounds, compositions and kits. Additionally, the present specification provides methods of treating cancer using a thioxanthone- based autophagy inhibitor and a radiotherapy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one inhibitor of SHP-2, optionally together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, adjuvants, diluents and/or additives. The present invention also relates to screening methods for identification of a compound suitable as inhibitor of SHP-2.
