| 20090123374 | METHODS FOR DETERMINING CANCER RESISTANCE TO HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS - Described herein are methods and compositions for determining whether a particular cancer is resistant to or susceptible to a histone deacetylase inhibitor or to histone deacetylase inhibitors. The methods include analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are methods and compositions for increasing the likelihood of a therapeutically effective treatment in a patient, comprising an analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are isolated populations of nucleic acids derived from a cancer sensitive to or resistant to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Further described are kits and indications that are optionally used in conjunction with the aforementioned methods and compositions. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090220454 | NOVEL HYDROXAMATES AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - The present invention is directed to certain hydroxamate derivatives that are useful in the treatment of hepatitis C. These compounds are also inhibitors of histone deacetylase and are therefore useful in the treatment of diseases associated with histone deacetylase activity. Pharmaceutical compositions and processes for preparing these compounds are also disclosed. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090270497 | Treatment of Non-Localized Inflammation with pan-HDAC Inhibitors - Described herein are compositions and methods for treating a subject suffering from a non-localized inflammatory condition (or any symptoms associated with such inflammation), including systemic inflammation, and inflammatory conditions affecting the large portions of or the whole body, or sepsis by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that is a pan-HDAC inhibitor. Also described herein are methods for decreasing iNOS and cytokine expression by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that is a pan-HDAC inhibitor. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100254905 | INHIBITORS OF BRUTON'S TYROSINE KINASE - Described herein are irreversible kinase inhibitor compounds, methods for synthesizing such irreversible inhibitors, and methods for using such irreversible inhibitors in the treatment of diseases. Further described herein are methods, assays and systems for determining an appropriate irreversible inhibitor of a protein, including a kinase. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20100285516 | CALCIUM FLUX AS A PHARMACOEFFICACY BIOMARKER FOR INHIBITORS OF HISTONE DEACETYLASE - Described herein are methods for using calcium flux as a biomarker to select and predict patients likely to respond to an apoptotic agent as therapy. Further described herein is a method of using calcium flux as a clinical biomarker to determine whether a tumor is sensitive to an HDAC inhibitor. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110021528 | NOVEL HYDROXAMATES AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - The present invention is directed to certain hydroxamate derivatives that are useful in the treatment of hepatitis C. These compounds are also inhibitors of histone deacetylase and are therefore useful in the treatment of diseases associated with histone deacetylase activity. Pharmaceutical compositions and processes for preparing these compounds are also disclosed. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110053164 | METHODS FOR DETERMINING CANCER RESISTANCE TO HISTONE DEACETYLASE INHIBITORS - Described herein are methods and compositions for determining whether a particular cancer is resistant to or susceptible to a histone deacetylase inhibitor or to histone deacetylase inhibitors. The methods include analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are methods and compositions for increasing the likelihood of a therapeutically effective treatment in a patient, comprising an analysis of the expression levels of at least four biomarker genes associated with response to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Also described herein are isolated populations of nucleic acids derived from a cancer sensitive to or resistant to a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Further described are kits and indications that are optionally used in conjunction with the aforementioned methods and compositions. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110081409 | SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF HISTONE DEACETYLASE - Described herein are compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, which inhibit the activity of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8). Also described herein are methods of using such HDAC8 inhibitors, alone and in combination with other compounds, for treating diseases or conditions that would benefit from inhibition of HDAC8 activity. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110150825 | USES OF SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF HDAC8 FOR TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS - Described herein are methods for treating a subject suffering from an inflammatory, autoimmune, or heteroimmune condition by administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition containing a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that is a selective inhibitor of histone deacetylase 8. Also described herein are methods for decreasing secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by administering an HDAC8-selective inhibitor compound. Further described herein are methods for predicting responsiveness to treatments for inflammatory conditions. Methods for predicting efficacy of treatments for inflammatory conditions are also described. | 06-23-2011 |
