The present invention concerns the use of compounds and compositions for the treatment or prevention of Flavivirus infections, such as dengue virus infections and Zika virus infections. Aspects of the invention include methods for treating or preventing Flavivirus virus infection, such as dengue virus and Zika virus infection, by administering a compound or composition of the invention, to a subject in need thereof; methods for inhibiting Flavivirus infections, such as dengue virus and Zika virus infections, in a cell in vitro or in vivo; pharmaceutical compositions; packaged dosage formulations; and kits useful for treating or preventing Flavivirus infections, such as dengue virus and Zika virus infections.

Method for inhibiting dengue virus infection

Method for inhibiting Zika virus infection

The present invention provides small-molecule inhibitors of BMP signaling and compositions and methods for inhibiting BMP signaling. These compounds and compositions may be used to modulate cell growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis, and thus may be useful for treating diseases or conditions associated with BMP signaling, including inflammation, cardiovascular disease, hematological disease, cancer, and bone disorders, as well as for modulating cellular differentiation and/or proliferation. These compounds and compositions may also be used to treat subjects with Sj&#xf6;gren's syndrome, or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

ALK2 inhibitors and methods for inhibiting BMP signaling

Anti-flavivirus compounds and methods of use

The present invention concerns the use of emetine compounds for the treatment or prevention of Flavivirus infections, such as dengue virus infections. Aspects of the invention include methods for treating or preventing Flavivirus virus infection, such as dengue virus infection, by administering an emetine compound such as emetine or cephaeline, or a combination of two or more emetine compounds, to a subject in need thereof; methods for inhibiting Flavivirus infections such as dengue virus infections in a cell in vitro or in vivo; pharmaceutical compositions; packaged dosage formulations; and kits for treating or preventing Flavivirus infections, such dengue virus infections.
