Abstract:
Methods for hydrolyzing lignocellulose are provided, comprising contacting the lignocellulose with at least one chemical treatment. Methods for pretreating a lignocellulosic material comprising contacting the material with at least one chemical are also provided. Methods for liberating a substance such as an enzyme, a pharmaceutical, or a nutraceutical from plant material are also provided. These methods are more efficient, more economical, and less toxic than current methods.
Abstract:
Hydrazide compounds with GPCR desensitization inhibitory activity are provided that may be used to influence, inhibit or reduce the action of a G-protein receptor kinase. Pharmaceutical compositions including therapeutically effective amounts of the hydrazide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are also provided. Various methods using the compounds and/or compositions to affect disease states or conditions controlled or influenced by GPCRs are also provided. Various methods using the compounds and/or compositions to affect disease states or conditions such as cancer osteoporosis and glaucoma are also provided. (Formula (I)). A is selected from a heteroaryl group (i): wherein X 1 , X 2 , X 3 and X 4 are, independently, CH, O, S or N-R 6 , with the proviso that at least one of X 2 or X 3 is O, S or N-R 6 ; and a heteroaryl group (ii): wherein X 5 and X 9 are CH or C-halogen, X 6 and X 8 are CH, and X 7 is N, and wherein the six-membered heteroaryl group may be further fused with an unsubstituted six-member aryl group; R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are, independently, hydrogen; halogen; C 1 -C 4 alkyl; amino; nitro; cyano; heteroaryl; carboxy, carbonylamino; aminosulfonyl; sulfonylamino; aminoacyl; thioalkyl; sulfonyl; acyl; heterocycle; -OR; -O-C 1 -C 4 alkyl-heterocycle; -C(O)NH-C 1 -C 4 alkyl-heterocycle; -C(O)NH-heteroaryl; -C(O)NH-aryl; or carboxylamino; wherein R is C 1 -C 4 alkyl; aryl, heteroaryl, C 1 -C 4 alkyl aryl or C 1 -C 4 alkyl heteroaryl; R 6 is H or C 1 -C 4 alkyl; R 7 is hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl or C 1 -C 4 alkoxy; and X is N-R 6 .

Abstract:
The present invention provides small-molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling and compositions and methods for inhibiting BMP signaling. These compounds and compositions may be used to modulate cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and thus may be useful for treating diseases or conditions associated with BMP signaling, including inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hematological disease, cancer, and bone disorders, as well as for modulating cellular differentiation and/or proliferation. These compounds and compositions may also be used to reduce circulating levels of ApoB-100 or LDL and treat or prevent acquired or congenital hypercholesterolemia or hyperlipoproteinemia; diseases, disorders, or syndromes associated with defects in lipid absorption or metabolism; or diseases, disorders, or syndromes caused by hyperlipidemia.
Abstract:
Isoquinoline compounds are provided that influence, inhibit or reduce the action of a G-protein receptor kinase . Pharmaceutical compositions including therapeutically effective amounts of the isoquinoline compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are also provided. Various methods using the compounds and/or compositions to affect disease states or conditions such as cancer, osteoporosis and glaucoma are also provided.
