In one aspect, compounds and compositions that inhibit TXNIP expression and/or that lower hepatic glucose production and methods of identifying, making, and using same are disclosed. The disclosed compounds and compositions can be useful for disorders associated with elevated TXNIP and/or elevated glucagon levels such as, for example, diabetes and associated disorders. Further provided are methods for treating hyperlipidemia or fatty liver disease, optionally associated with elevated TXNIP and/or elevated glucagon levels. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The present disclosure is concerned with certain pyrrolopyrimidine compounds that are capable of inhibiting certain protein kinases, and especially the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) protein. Compounds of the present disclosure can be used to treat a number of disorders caused by or associated with abnormal LRRK2 kinase activity. Compounds of the present disclosure can be used to treat disorders including neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease; precancerous conditions and cancer; autoimmune disorders such as Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis; and leprosy (Hansen's disease). This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
