Abstract:
The invention relates to inhibitors of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) useful for the treatment metabolic diseases, such as lysosomal storage diseases, either alone or in combination with enzyme replacement therapy, and for the treatment of cancer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to chemokine receptor binding compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and their use. More specifically, the present invention relates to modulators of chemokine receptor activity, preferably modulators of CCR5. Thesd compounds demonstrate protective effects against infection of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds that bind to chemokine receptors, and having the formula (I) wherein each A, X, Y, R , R and R are substituents. The present invention also relates to methods of using such compounds, such as in treating HIV infection and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods to elevate progenitor and stem cell counts, as well as methods to elevate white blood cell counts, using such compounds.
Abstract:
Inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) for the Plasmodium enzyme have been identified and characterized. The inhibitors have high specificity, submicromolar efficacy against cultured parasite strains, exhibit drug-like properties, and are not overtly cytotoxic.
Abstract:
The invention relates to heterocyclic compounds consisting of a core nitrogen atom surrounded by three pendant groups, wherein two of the three pendant groups are preferably benzimidazolyl methyl and tetrahydroquinolyl, and the third pendant group contains N and optionally contains additional rings. The compounds bind to chemokine receptors, including CXCR4 and CCR5, and demonstrate protective effects against infections of target cells by a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Abstract:
Compounds that interact with the CXCR4 receptor are described. The compounds are useful in treating for Example, HIV infection and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, as well as asthma or cancer, and are useful in methods to elevate progenitor and stem cell counts as well as methods to elevate white blood cell counts.
Abstract:
This invention describes various processes for synthesis and resolution of racemic amino-substituted fused bicyclic ring systems. One process utilizes selective hydrogenation of an amino-substituted fused bicyclic aromatic ring system. An alternative process prepares the racemic amino-substituted fused bicyclic ring system via nitrosation. In addition, the present invention describes the enzymatic resolution of a racemic mixture to produce the (R)- and (S)- forms of amino-substituted fused bicyclic rings as well as a racemization process to recycle the unpreferred enantioner. Further provided by this invention is an asymmetric synthesis of the (R)- or (S)- enantioner of primary amino-substituted fused bicyclic ring systems.
Abstract:
Compounds which modulate chemokine receptor activities are disclosed. These compounds are preferably tertiary amines comprising tetrahydroquinoline and benzimidazole.
