Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the stereo-selective production of pentostatin comprising an enzymatic transglycosylation reaction between 6,7-dihydroimidazo-[4,5-d]-[1,3]diazepin-8(3H)-one and a 2'-deoxyribonucleoside, followed by an ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds, compositions and methods for treating or preventing Flaviviridae family of viruses (including HCV, Yellow fever, Dengue, Chikungunya and West Nile virus), RSV, HEV, and influenza infection and cancer in human subjects or other animal hosts.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides nucleoside analogs of Formula (I) or (II). The nucleoside analogs may show multiple tautomerism and may increase the mutation of an RNA and/or DNA (be mutagenic) of a virus or cancer cell. The multiple tautomerism and mutagenesis of the nucleoside analogs may be adjusted by substituting the nucleoside analogs with one or more electron-donating groups and/or electron-withdrawing groups to increase or decrease the p K a ( e.g ., to a p K a between 5.5 or 8.5). The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions and kits including the nucleoside analogs and methods of treating a viral infection ( e.g ., influenza, HIV infection, or hepatitis) or cancer using the nucleoside analogs, pharmaceutical compositions, or kits.
Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure include compositions that make use of phosphorus and/or nucleobase protecting groups which find use in the synthesis of long polynucleotides. Phosphorus protecting groups are provided that help increase the stepwise coupling yield and/or phosphorous protecting groups that can be removed during the oxidation step. Amidine nucleobase protecting groups are provided that find use in the subject compositions and methods which provides for e.g., increased resistance to depurination during polynucleotide synthesis. In some instances, the methods and compositions disclosed herein utilize a combination of the phosphorus and amidine nucleobase protecting groups in the synthesis of polynucleotides having a sequence of 200 or more monomeric units in length. Also provided are methods for synthesizing a polynucleotide (e.g., a DNA) using one or more compounds disclosed herein.
Abstract:
A method of modifying a nucleotide or a nucleotide analogue to increase its overall effectiveness in treating an antiviral disease is provided. In some cases, a compound comprising a base, sugar, phosphonate moiety, and amino acid residue is provided, where the base-sugar may be a nucleoside, and the amino acid residue may be a tyrosine residue. In certain cases, the tyrosine residue contains a long chain alkyl group on the carboxamide group of the residue. Methods of inhibiting viral replication and methods of treating a viral infection are also provided.
Abstract:
In its many embodiments, the present invention provides a novel class of pyrimidine analogs as targeted mechanism-based modulators of cell cycle checkpoints. Cancers and/or malignancies can be treated by administration of a cell cycle checkpoint modulator of the invention. Also discussed are suitable combinations of the cell cycle checkpoint modulator with a checkpoint kinase inhibitor to produce synergistic apoptosis in cancer cells. The invention also includes methods of treating cancers by administering the combination of the cell cycle checkpoint modulator and the checkpoint kinase inhibitor, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the cell cycle checkpoint modulator as well as combinations and pharmaceutical kits. An example cell cycle checkpoint modulator is shown below: formula (I).
Abstract:
Provided are compounds of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. The compounds and compositions are useful for treating viral infections caused by the Flaviviridae family of viruses. (I)
Abstract:
Disclosed are tricyclic nucleoside compounds of formula (I), and methods thereof for treating viral infections mediated at least in part by a Flaviviridae family virus.
