20100081611STABILIZED MAML PEPTIDES AND USES THEREOF - Stably cross-linked a polypeptides related to human MAML are described. These cross-linked polypeptides contain at least two modified amino acids that together form an internal cross-link or tether that can help to stabilize the alpha-helical secondary structure that is thought to be important for binding of MAML peptides to the Notch transcription complex, a complex that includes ICN and CSL.04-01-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090209590Histone Deacetylase and Tubulin Deacetylase Inhibitors - In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents and efficient methods for the synthesis thereof, the present invention provides novel inhibitors of histone deacetylases, tubulin deacetylases, and/or aggresome inhibitors, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives thereof. The inventive compounds fall into two classes—“isotubacin” class and “isoisotubacin” class—all of which include a 1,3-dioxane core. The present invention further provides methods for treating disorders regulated by histone deacetylase activity, tubulin deacetylase activity, and/or the aggresome (e.g., proliferative diseases, cancer, inflammatory diseases, protozoal infections, protein degradation disorders, protein deposition disorders, etc.) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inventive compound to a subject in need thereof. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention.08-20-2009
20090312363BIFUNCTIONAL HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS - In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents and efficient methods for the synthesis thereof, the present invention provides novel bifunctional, trifunctional, or multifunctional compounds for inhibiting histone deacetylases, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives thereof. The present invention further provides methods for treating disorders regulated by histone deacetylase activity (e.g., proliferative diseases, cancer, inflammatory diseases, protozoal infections, hair loss, etc.) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inventive compound to a subject in need thereof. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention.12-17-2009
20100056588HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS - In recognition of the need to develop novel therapeutic agents, the present invention provides novel histone deacetylase inhibitors. These compounds include an ester bond making them sensitive to deactivation by esterases. Therefore, these compounds are particularly useful in the treatment of skin disorders. When the compounds reaches the bloodstream, an esterase or an enzyme with esterase activity cleaves the compound into biologically inactive fragments or fragments with greatly reduced activity Ideally these degradation products exhibit a short serum and/or systemic half-life and are eliminated rapidly. These compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof are particularly useful in treating cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, neurofibromatosis, psoriasis, hair loss, skin pigmentation, and dermatitis, for example. The present invention also provides methods for preparing compounds of the invention and intermediates thereto.03-04-2010

20100323062BIOPROCESSING OF GRAINS - A method of treating a crop kernel prior to milling to improve millability, which includes the step of exposing the crop kernel to one or more plant hormones is provided. Typically, the crap kernel is a cereal such as wheat. The plant hormone is selected from the group consisting of auxins, gibberellins and abscisic acid. The method further includes the step of exposing the crop kernel to an enzyme. Typically the enzyme is a plant cell-wall degrading enzyme such as xylanase, lipase and cellulase. Also provided are methods of production of flour, food products and compositions. A particular application of this method is the optimisation of milling performance for the production of high quality flour.12-23-2010
