摘要:
Provided are immediate or prolonged administration of certain potassium ATP (K ATP ) channel openers, optionally in combination with growth hormone, to a subject to achieve novel pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, therapeutic, physiological, metabolic and compositional outcomes in the treatment of diseases or conditions involving K ATP channels. Also provided are pharmaceutical formulations, methods of administration and dosing of K ATP channel openers that achieve these outcomes and reduce the incidence of adverse effects in treated individuals. Further provided are methods of co-administering K ATP channel openers with other drugs (e.g., in combination with growth hormone) to treat diseases of humans and animals (e.g., Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), and the like.

摘要:
Ricin A-chain is an N-glycosidase that attacks ribosomal RNA at a highly conserved adenine residue. Crystallographic studies show that not only adenine and formycin, but also pterin-based rings can bind in the ricin active site. For a better understanding of the recognition mode between ricin, and adenine-like rings, the interaction energies and geometries were calculated for a number of complexes. Shiga toxin, a compound essentially identical to the protein originally isolated from Shigella dysenteriae , has an active protein chain that is a homologue of the ricin active chain, and catalyzes the same depurination reaction. The present invention is drawn to identifying inhibitors of ricin and Shiga toxin, using methods molecular mechanics and ab initio methods and using the identified inhibitors as antidotes to ricin or Shiga toxin, or to facilitate immunotoxin treatment by controlling non-specific cytotoxicity.

The present invention describes [1,2,4]thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, which are useful in lowering serum uric acid in a patient in need thereof comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of a [1,2,4]thiadiazine 1,1- dioxide compound.
摘要:
The present invention relates to novel geometrically restricted 2-indolinones and physiologically acceptable salts thereof which modulate the activity of protein kinases and therefore are expected to be useful in the prevention and treatment of protein kinase related cellular disorders such as cancer.
摘要:
Compounds are provided that bind allosterically to the catalytic domain of MMP-13 and comprise a hydrophobic group, first and second hydrogen bond acceptors and at least one, and preferably both, of a third hydrogen bond acceptor and a second hydrophobic group. Cartesian coordinates for centroids of the above features are defined in the specification. When the ligand binds to MMP-13, the first, second and third (when present) hydrogen bond acceptors bond respectively with Thr245, Thr247 and Met 253, the first hydrophobic group locates within the S1' channel of MMP-13 and the second hydrophobic group (when present) is relatively open to solvent. The compounds specifically inhibit the matrix metalloproteinase-13 enzyme and thus are useful for treating diseases resulting from tissue breakdown, such as heart disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, and osteoporosis.
摘要:
Novel "bispolyamine" inhibitor compounds of polyamine transport are disclosed. These compounds are useful pharmaceutical agents for treating diseases where it is desired to inhibit polyamine transport or other polyamine binding proteins, for example cancer and post-angioplasty injury. These compounds display desirable activities both for diagnostic and research assays and therapy.
摘要:
Benzothiadiazide derivatives capable of increasing the synaptic response mediated by AMPA receptors are provided. The subject derivatives find use in a variety of applications in which an increase in AMPA receptor mediated synaptic response is desired, including methods of treating memory and learning disorders, schizophrenia, sexual dysfunctions, and the like.
摘要:
This invention relates to a process for the preparation and purification of a pure crystalline Hydrochlorothiazide with overall purity 99.9% or greater and single impurity below 0.1%. This is a two step process. In first step crude hydrochlorothiazide is prepared which is in second step purified to get highly pure crystalline hydrochlorothiazide.
