| 20090099242 | Heterocyclic inhibitors of necroptosis - The invention features a series of heterocyclic derivatives that inhibit tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) induced necroptosis. The heterocyclic compounds of the invention are described by Formulas (I) and (Ia)-(Ie) and are shown to inhibit TNF-α induced necroptosis in FADD-deficient variant of human Jurkat T cells. The invention further features pharmaceutical compositions featuring the compounds of the invention. The compounds and compositions of the invention may also be used to treat disorders where necroptosis is likely to play a substantial role. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090232780 | COMPOUNDS THAT ENHANCE ATOH1 EXPRESSION - This invention generally provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for their use, which include methods that result in increased expression in an Atoh1 gene (e.g., Hath1) in a biological cell. More specifically, the invention relates to the treatment of diseases and/or disorders that would benefit from increased Atoh1 expression, e.g., a hearing impairment or imbalance disorder associated with a loss of auditory hair cells, or a disorder associated with abnormal cellular proliferation. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100143404 | Thiophene derivatives for up-regulating HLA-DM activity - Compounds of formula (I), compositions, methods and kits are provided. The compounds and compositions may be particularly useful for modulating immunological responses. Formula (I) wherein, R | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100183658 | Novel Compounds for Enhancing MHC Class II Therapies - The invention provides classes of novel compounds that accelerate peptide loading to DR in the absence of DM and related pharmaceutical compositions. The invention also provides conjugates of these compounds with peptides, antigens or other MHC-based therapeutics, including peptides that self-catalyze their loading onto MHC Class II molecules. Methods are provided for modulating an immune response in a subject. Also disclosed are methods of using the novel compounds, e.g., in combination with MHC-based therapeutics, for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and for the manufacture of medicaments. Methods of improving loading of viral peptides and tumor peptides for enhancing the CD4 T cell response following vaccination against viruses or tumors, and related vaccines, are also provided. | 07-22-2010 |
