Methods of treatment using these compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions thereof, are also provided. 

Enolase inhibitors and methods of treatment therewith

Compounds are provided that can exhibit anti-cancer and/or anti-inflammatory properties, in some aspects, methods of treating an inflammatory disease or a hyperproliferative disease, such as cancer, with the compounds are provided.

Compounds for treating inflammatory and hyperproliferative diseases

Compositions and methods are provided for using tyrosine kinase inhibitors to treat pathogenic infection. In particular, methods for using Abl-family tyrosine kinase inhibitors to treat pathogenic infection are provided. Infections to be treated according to the present invention include, particularly, those caused by microbial pathogens such as bacteria and viruses.

Compositions and methods of use for tyrosine kinase inhibitors to treat pathogenic infection

This application describes a novel technology in drug discovery and drug-based imaging/detection: the wrapping technology. This technology is based on identified singularities in the structure of soluble proteins. In contrast with drug-design approaches based on standard structural considerations, the packing of a protein, or more precisely, its dehydron pattern, may be used as a selectivity filter to design small-molecule inhibitors. The wrapping technology described herein is a novel form of rational drug design for avoiding side effects in drug therapy and sharpening the inhibitory impact of drugs on the oncokinome.

Methods and compositions related to wrapping of dehydrons

The present invention provides compositions and methods of use thereof to prevent and/or treat pathogenic infection. In particular, the present invention provides the use of kinase inhibitors to inhibit kinases that involve in pathogen-host cell interactions that are associated with or cause pathogenic infections, therefore, to effectively prevent and/or treat pathogenic infections with far less likely to engender resistance as compared to conventional antibiotics and anti-viral drugs. The present invention further provides the use of kinase inhibitors for the treatment of acute pathogenic infections for a short period of time to avoid toxicities that may caused by long term use of these kinase inhibitors.

Kinase inhibitors for preventing or treating pathogen infection and method of use thereof
