Abstract:
The present invention relates to inhibitors of aspartic proteinases, particularly, BACE. The present invention also relates to compositions thereof and methods therewith for inhibiting BACE activity in a mammal, and for treating Alzheimer's Disease and other BACE-mediated diseases.
Abstract:
A high fluorescence specific immune enhancing factor and methods of its use are described. The factor comprises a malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde adduct which can be detected in the picomolar range. The specific immunoenhancing factor allowing for a shorter time course for the production of antibody and of higher titer antibodies without the need for adjuvant. The factor may further be used as a general fluorescent label for immunological techniques and can be used to visualize protein interactions and to monitor protein purification procedures.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods for synthesizing very large collections of diverse dihydropyridine, dihydropyrimidine, pyridine or pyrimidine compounds on solid supports. Also disclosed are methods for identifying and isolating dihydropyridine and dihydropyrimidine compounds with useful and diverse activities from such collections including the incorporation of identification tags in such collections to facilitate identification of compounds with desired properties.
Abstract:
The present invention describes compounds and uses thereof in applications relating to absorption of electromagnetic energy. Preferred compounds are double bond-containing cyclic compounds capable of absorbing electromagnetic radiation energy and having improved photostability due to the presence and location of one or more fluorine groups in relation to the double bond of the ring.
Abstract:
This invention includes ionizable compounds, and compositions and methods of use thereof. The ionizable compounds can be used for making nanoparticle compositions for use in biopharmaceuticals and therapeutics. More particularly, this invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods for providing nanoparticles to encapsulate active agents, to deliver and distribute the active agents to cells, tissues, organs, and subjects.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method of synthesizing 5-chloro-N2- (2-isopropoxy-5-methyl-4- (piperidin-4-yl) phenyl) -N4- [2- (propane-2-sulfonyl) -phenyl] -pyrimidine-2, 4-diamine (ceritinib) and/or intermediates thereof, their use as pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical compositions and the use of intermediates for preparing ceritinib.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for the use of a group of compounds as allosteric reversible caspase inhibitors. This invention is in the field of medicinal chemistry and relates to novel compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof that inhibit caspases and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFa) that mediate cell apoptosis and inflammation and inhibit pathophysiologic effects of excessive amounts of TNFa. The invention also relates to methods of using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention to treat diseases where caspase and/or TNFa activity is implicated. The present invention also relates to methods for the use of allosteric, reversible pan-caspase inhibitors with pyridinyl, copper-containing molecules with a multi-ring structure.
Abstract:
The invention provides amides that inhibit cellular necrosis and/or human receptor interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1), including corresponding sulfonamides, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrides and stereoisomers thereof. The compounds are employed in pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of making and use, including treating a person in need thereof with an effective amount of the compound or composition, and detecting a resultant improvement in the person's health or condition.
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel process for the preparation of lercanidipine or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt using novel intermediates. Thus, 2,N-dimethyl-N-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-1-amino-2-propanol is reacted with trimethylsilyl chloride in presence of triethyl amine in methylene chloride to give 2,N-dimethyl-2-(trimethylsilyloxy)-N-(3,3-diphenylpropyl)-1-propanamine, which is then reacted with 2,6-dimethyl-5-methoxycarbonyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-3-carbonyl chloride for 2 hours and crystallized to obtain lercanidipine hydrochloride.
