The application further provides methods of using the disclosed compounds and compositions to activate PPARγ, inhibit inflammation, and treat conditions associated with inflammation and conditions responsive to PPARγ modulation such as diabetes.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compositions and processes of making of anticancer compounds useful for cancer treatments. These cyclohexenone compounds show an unexpected result against certain cancer cells compared to their known analogs.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses eight new diterpenoids, i.e. Dysongensins A to H, extracted from the leaves and twigs of Dysoxylum hongkongense, wherein AMBROX® which is applicable in the perfume industry is prepared from Dysongensin A via a series of chemical reactions, and the cytotoxicity of Dysongensins A to H against human cancer cell lines and their antiviral and anti-inflammatory activities are determined. Therefore, in the present invention, AMBROX® prepared from Dysongensin A is a new idea for application as an odorous compound in the perfume industry, and the novel diterpenoids can be prepared as a pharmaceutical compositions and/or a drug having antiviral, anti-inflammatory and/or anti-cancer activities.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds having a decaline scaffold, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one of these compounds together with pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluents. Said decaline-derived compounds can be used for prophylaxsis and/or treatment of diabetes mellitus type I, diabetes mellitus type II, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, proliferative diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, obesity, cognitive dysfunctions and metabolic syndromes.
Abstract:
Compounds of formula I: ##STR1## wherein the dotted carbon-carbon bond in the D-ring is C--C or C.dbd.C; C(R,R) is CH.sub.2 or C.dbd.CH.sub.2,R.sup.1 is H, F or OH,R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each independently C.sub.1-4 -alkyl or CF.sub.3, or together with the carbon to which they are bound form C.sub.3-6 -cycloalkyl.are useful in the treatment of vitamin D dependent disorders, such as psoriasis, leukemia; acne and seborrhoic dermatitis; osteoporosis hyperparathyroidism accompanying renal failure; and multiple sclerosis.
Abstract:
This invention provides a novel class of vitamin D related compounds, namely, the 2-alkylidene-19-nor-vitamin D derivatives, as well as a general method for their chemical synthesis. The compounds have the formula: ##STR1## where Y.sub.1 and Y.sub.2, which may be the same or different, are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a hydroxy-protecting group, R.sub.6 and R.sub.8, which may be the same or different, are each selected from hydrogen, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl and fluoroalkyl, or when taken together represent the group --(CH.sub.2).sub.x -- where x is an integer from 2 to 5, and where the group R represents any of the typical side chains known for vitamin D type compounds. These 2-substituted compounds are characterized by low intestinal calcium transport activity and high bone calcium mobilization activity resulting in novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases where bone formation is desired, particularly low bone turnover osteoporosis. These compounds also exhibit pronounced activity in arresting the proliferation of undifferentiated cells and inducing their differentiation to the monocyte thus evidencing use as anti-cancer agents and for the treatment of diseases such as psoriasis.
Abstract:
The present invention provides novel fluorinated abscisic acid derivative represented by formula of: ##STR1## wherein: X is O(CH.sub.2).sub.2 O or O; and,R is hydroxymethyl, aldehyde, C.sub.1-2 alkoxycarbonyl or carboxyl group.The present invention also provides a novel process for preparing the fluorinated abscisic acid derivative represented as the formula (I), and also provides their use for plant growth regulator.
