Abstract:
Testis-restricted melanoma antigen (MAGE) proteins are frequently hijacked in cancer and play a critical role in tumorigenesis. These proteins assemble with E3 ubiquitin ligases and function as substrate adaptors that direct the ubiquitination of novel targets, including key tumor suppressors. However, the development of MAGE-directed therapeutics heretofore has been extremely limited. In one aspect, the disclosure relates to compounds and peptides useful as inhibitors of MAGE-A11:substrate interaction, methods of making same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and methods of treating a disorder associated with a MAGE-A11 dysfunction, e.g., a cancer, using same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.
Abstract:
A method of treating or preventing a Coronaviridae infection in a subject comprising administrating a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof to the subject in need thereof, wherein R1 is OH or H, and the Coronaviridae comprises at least one selected from 2019-nCov virus, HCov 229E virus, SARS virus, MERS virus.
Abstract:
The invention provides compounds of formula I wherein: m is 0, 1 or 2; n is 2, 3, 4 or 5; R 0 and R 1 are both H, or they form a bridge -CH 2 -C(R 4 )=CH-, R 4 being CH 3 or CH 2 CH 3 ; R 2 and R 3 independently are H, F, Cl or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl; R 5 is H, F, Cl, Br, I, OCH 3 , OCF 3 , SF 5 , SO 2 F, SO 2 CH 3 , NO 2 , CF 3 or (C 1 -C 4 )-alkyl; R 6 and R 7 independently are H, F, Cl, CH 3 or CF 3 ; and optionally R 5 and R 6 form a bridge -O-CH 2 -O-, R 7 being H, in vitro assays show that compounds I are simultaneously inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase and inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase, and that they have a good blood-brain barrier permeability. Thus, compounds I are multitarget active pharmaceutical ingredients for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in humans.
Abstract:
