摘要:
Nucleic acid molecules (antisenses or ribozymes) useful as inhibitors of gene expression, especially of HER2, BACE, TERT, PTP-1B, MetAP-2, HBV, phospholamban, presenilin-2 and PKC-alpha. The nucleic acid molecules can be modified in various ways on the sugar and/or base moieties and/or on the phosphate backbone. They are used in pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment of diseases involving increased expression of the target genes. Also disclosed is a method for the synthesis of a modified pyrimidine nucleotide triphosphate and its incorporation into an oligonucleotide.

The invention provides methods of treating a patient suffering from depression by increasing circulating adenosine levels in the patient. The invention also features diagnostic methods for depression which involve measuring purine or NTP resonance intensity.
摘要:
The invention provides novel pteridine nucleotide which are highly fluorescent under physiological conditions and which may be used in the chemical synthesis of fluorescent oligonucleotides. The invention further provides for fluorescent oligonucleotides comprising one or more pteridine nucleotides. In addition the invention provides for pteridine nucleotide triphosphates which may be used as the constituent monomers in DNA amplification procedures.
摘要:
Novel compositions of silicon-containing anti-metabolite compounds, their preparation and use in methods for treating cancer are described. The silyl group confers lipophilicity that can enhance the penetration of the compounds across the gut wall, cell membranes and blood brain barrier, thus improving therapeutic properties including bioavailability, metabolism, and/or pharmacokinetics. The triorganosilyl group provides compounds having improved pharmacokinetics and anti-tumor activity. The invention encompasses novel compounds, analogs, prodrugs and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of diseases and other maladies or conditions involving cancer and the like. The subject invention also relates to processes for making such compounds as well as to intermediates useful in such processes.
摘要:
Many pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Yersinia pestis, rely on an iron acquisition system based on siderophores, secreted iron-chelating compounds with extremely high Fe(III) affinity. The compounds of the invention are inhibitors of domain salicylation enzymes, which catalyze the salicylation of an aroyl carrier protein (ArCP) domain to form a salicyl-ArCP domain thioester intermediate via a two-step reaction. The compounds include the intermediate mimic 5 '-O- [N- (salicyl)sulfamoyl] -adenosine (salicyl-AMS) and analogs thereof. These compounds are inhibitors of the salicylate activity of MbtA, YbtE, PchD, and other domain salicylation enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of siderophores. Therefore, these compounds may be used in the treatment of infection caused by microorganisms which rely on siderphore-based iron acquisition systems. Pharmaceutical composition and methods of using these compounds to treat or prevent infection are also provided as well as methods of preparing the inventive compounds.
摘要:
2'-Deoxy-2'- [ F] -labeled and 3'-deoxy-3'- [ F] -labeled purine nucleoside analogs such as [ F]-FAA and [ F]FXA have been found to have desirable properties for use as imaging agents. The analogs are particularly useful for in vivo imaging of biological material including organ tissues (e.g., heart, liver, brain and kidneys) and tumors. Methods for the preparation of the [ F]-FAA and [ F]-FXA are also provided.
