| 20080214436 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER OR OTHER DISEASES - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for improving immune function. More particularly, the present invention relates to multifunctional molecules that are capable of being delivered to cells of interest for the treatment of diseases and for the improvement in immune function. | 09-04-2008 |
| 20090318367 | Use of SH2 STAT3/STAT1 Peptidomimetics as Anticancer Drugs - The subject invention concerns compositions and methods for blocking cancer cell growth or proliferation and/or inducing cancer cell death. Compositions of the present invention are peptidomimetics that inhibit STAT function. Peptidomimetics of the invention display selective inhibition of specific STAT isoform homo-dimerization. The peptidomimetic probes of STAT1 function, described herein, provide the means to preferentially inhibit STAT1 over STAT3 through the exploration of the C-terminus. | 12-24-2009 |
| 20100247427 | Methods of inhibiting cell growth and methods of enhancing radiation responses - Provided herein are methods of enhancing the radiation response of a cell expressing activated Stat1, Stat3, or Stat5. Methods for synergistically affecting a cell expressing activated Stat1, Stat3, or Stat5 are also described. The described methods may also be used to synergistically affect or enhance the radiation response of a cell in a subject. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110071210 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER OR OTHER DISEASES - The present invention relates to methods and compositions for the treatment of diseases, including cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for improving immune function. More particularly, the present invention relates to multifunctional molecules that are capable of being delivered to cells of interest for the treatment of diseases and for the improvement in immune function. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110124602 | Stat3 Inhibitor Having Anti-Cancer Activity and Methods - A small-molecule Stat3 dimerization inhibitor, S3I-M2001, is described and the dynamics of intracellular processing of activated Stat3 within the context of the biochemical and biological effects of the Stat3 chemical probe inhibitor are elucidated. S3I-M2001 is a newly-identified oxazole-based peptidomimetic of the Stat3 Src Homology (SH) 2 domain-binding phosphotyrosine peptide that selectively disrupts active Stat3:Stat3 dimers. Stat3-dependent malignant transformation, survival, and migration and invasion of mouse and human cancer cells harboring persistently-activated Stat3 were inhibited by S3I-M2001. S3I-M2001 inhibited Stat3-dependent transcriptional regulation of tumor survival genes, such as Bcl-xL. The disclosed compound is useful as a new potential treatment for certain cancers. | 05-26-2011 |
