Abstract:
This document provides methods and materials for treating endometriosis. For example, methods and materials for using histone acetyl transferase inhibitors (e.g., garcinol) to treat endometriosis are provided.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method to modulate exogenous gene expression in which an ecdysone receptor complex comprising: a DNA binding domain; a ligand binding domain; a transactivation domain; and a ligand is contacted with a DNA construct comprising: the exogenous gene and a response element; wherein the exogenous gene is under the control of the response element and binding of the DNA binding domain to the response element in the presence of the ligand results in activation or suppression of the gene. The ligands comprise a class of ketones.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a cyclobutene compound or a cyclopentenone is provided. The method comprises contacting an α,β-diketone with a metal acetylide at a temperature below 0°C to thereby form a reaction mixture comprising a bis-alkyne precursor. The bis-alkyne precursor rearranges into a bis-allenic intermediate, which undergoes further rearrangement into the cyclobutene compound or the cyclopentenone compound as the temperature of the reaction mixture increases from below 0°C to above 0°C.
