A cell-based quantitative high-throughput screening assay to monitor the formation of PFK1-mEGFP clusters by the action of small molecules to identify small molecules that promote intracellular PFK1 clustering in a cell cycle-dependent manner and may be used to treat cancer.

Method of identifying a compound which affects the multienzyme metabolic assembly of glucose metabolism and its association with cell cycle progression in cancer cells

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a molecular inhibitor of Npr1 are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of treating, reducing, or preventing acute and/or chronic pruritus in a mammal comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a molecular inhibitor of Npr1.

Compositions and methods for the inhibition of pruritus

Provided herein are methods of treating Zellweger spectrum disorder (ZSD) in a subject in need thereof or improving peroxisome assembly in a cell in need thereof comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of Compounds of Formula I or II.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of Zellweger spectrum disorder

Disclosed herein are isolated peptides inhibit activity of a cofactor-independent phosphoglycerate mutase. In some examples, the isolated peptide is 6-20 amino acids long and includes the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-22 or 54, an analog or derivative thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof. In some examples, the peptide is a cyclic peptide with an N-terminal ring of 6-15 amino acids (for example, 6-10 amino acids) and a C-terminal linear portion of 1-9 amino acids (for example, 3-8 amino acids. Also disclosed h are methods of treating or inhibiting an infection in a subject, including administering to the subject an effective amount of a composition including one of more of the disclosed peptides, or analogs or derivative thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof.

Peptide inhibitors of phosphoglycerate mutase and methods of use
