Disclosed herein are phthalocyanine dyes, and conjugates thereof, useful as fluorescent reporters for bioassays, for optical imaging and as therapeutic conjugates as the photosensitizing agents in light-based therapies including photoimmuno therapy (PIT). Certain phthalocyanine dyes disclosed herein are water soluble, and possess photophysical and photochemical profiles useful for use in imaging or therapy.

Phthalocyanine dye compounds, conjugates and methods of use thereof

The present embodiments relate to substituted heterocyclic derivative therapeutic compounds, compositions comprising said compounds, and the use of said compounds and compositions for epigenetic regulation by inhibition of bromodomain-mediated recognition of acetyl lysine regions of proteins, such as histones. Said compositions and methods are useful for the treatment of diseases mediated by aberrant cell signalling, such as inflammatory disorders, cancer and neoplastic disease. Particular compounds described herein exhibit selective inhibitory activity against CBP compared with BRD4.

Therapeutic compounds

Described herein is the bromodomain inhibitor 4-[2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylsulfonylphenyl]-2-methylisoquinolin-1-one, including crystalline forms, amorphous forms, solvates, and hydrates thereof, as well as pharmaceutical compositions that include this bromodomain inhibitor. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises 4-[2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylsulfonylphenyl]-2-methylisoquinolin-1-one that has been processed by micronization or spray dried dispersion. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises at least one polymer. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a solid polymer matrix comprising 4-[2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylsulfonylphenyl]-2-methylisoquinolin-1-one and at least one polymer. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising 4-[2-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-5-methylsulfonylphenyl]-2-methylisoquinolin-1-one are useful for the treatment of cancer or neoplastic disease.

Bromodomain inhibitor

The present invention relates to substituted heterocyclic derivative compounds, compositions comprising said compounds, and the use of said compounds and compositions for epigenetic regulation by inhibition of bromodomain-mediated recognition of acetyl lysine regions of proteins, such as histones. Said compositions and methods are useful for the treatment of cancer and neoplastic disease.

Bromodomain inhibitors

The present disclosure relates to substituted heterocyclic derivative therapeutic compounds, compositions comprising said compounds, and the use of said compounds and compositions for epigenetic regulation by inhibition of bromodomain-mediated recognition of acetyl lysine regions of proteins, such as histones. Said compositions and methods are useful for the treatment of diseases mediated by aberrant cell signalling, such as inflammatory disorders, cancer and neoplastic disease.

Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV)-inhibiting compounds are provided that have formula I: wherein n is 1 to 3; X is CHS; O; CFor C(CH); Z is H; halogen; hydroxyl; (C)alkoxy; (C)alkyl; (C)cycloalkyl; phenyl; or heteroaryl; where the phenyl and heteroaryl groups are optionally mono- or independently plurisubstituted with R7; optionally, X together with an adjacent ring carbon and Z form a fused cyclopropyl; and optionally, one of the bonds in the ring containing X is a double bond; and CrR, R, R, R, Rand Rare as described herein. Methods for preparing these compounds, and methods for treating diabetes, especially Type II diabetes, and other related diseases are described using the compounds of formula I in pharmaceutical compositions which contain these compounds. Pharmaceutical compositions which contain combinations of these compounds with other antidiabetic agents are also described herein. 

Heterocyclic boronic acid compounds

The present invention is directed to a method of treatment of a malcondition that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV. The method involves administration of an effective amount of a pyrrolidine compound of the invention, such as would be present in a pharmaceutical composition of the invention, to mammals, especially humans, to affect a malcondition that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV.

Pyrrolidine compounds and methods for selective inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV

The present invention is directed to pyrrolidinylaminoacetyl pyrrolidine boronic acid compounds that display selective, potent dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitory activity. These compounds are useful for the treatment of disorders that can be regulated or normalized via inhibition of DPP-IV including those characterized by impaired glycemic control such as Diabetes Mellitus and related conditions. The compounds can be administered alone or with another medicament that displays pharmacological activity for treatment of these and other diseases.

Compounds that selectively inhibit dipeptidyl peptidase-IV over closely related dipeptidyl peptidases are those of Formula (I): as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, cyclic isomers thereof, prodrugs thereof, and solvates thereof, where all the variables are defined herein. These compounds can be used, alone or in combination with other drugs, for the treatment of diabetes and related diseases.

Compounds and methods for selective inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-IV

Certain constrained cyano compounds are useful as inhibitors of post-proline/alanine cleaving amino-dipeptidases. Accordingly, these compounds can be employed, alone or with another therapeutic agent, to treat diabetes (especially, Type II diabetes), hyperglycemia, Syndrome X, diabetic complications, hyperinsulinemia, obesity, atherosclerosis and related diseases, as well as various immunomodulatory diseases and chronic inflammatory bowel disease.
