2-Oxoglutarate analogue inhibitors of prolyl hydroxylase domain 2
摘要:
Analogues of the 2-oxoglutarate cosubstrate of the human oxygen sensing enzyme prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) with variations in the potential iron-chelating group were screened as inhibitors and for binding (using non-denaturing electrospray ionization mass spectrometry) to PHD2.

Disclosed herein are formulations suitable for parenteral administration of certain hydrophobic active agents such as Coenzyme Q10. Methods of preparing the same and methods of treatment of oncological disorders using the same are also provided herein. The formulations comprise an aqueous solution; a hydrophobic active agent dispersed to form a colloidal nano-dispersion of particles; and at least one of a dispersion stabilizing agent and an opsonization reducer wherein the colloidal nano-dispersion of the active agent is dispersed into nano-dispersion particles having a mean size of less than 200-nm. Methods of preparing the parenteral formulations comprise dispersing the hydrophobic active agent by high pressure homogenization by (1) adding hydrophobic active agent to a 65° C. bath of water and mixing to form a hydrophobic active agent/water mixture; (2) adding a dispersion stabilizing agent to the hydrophobic active agent/water mixture and mix at 65° C. to form a hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer mixture; (3) adding an opsonization reducer to form a hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer/reducer mixture; (4) pre-heating a Microfluidizer to 65° C.; and (5) processing by mixing the hydrophobic active agent/water/stabilizer/reducer mixture in the Microfluidizer at 65° C. such that a hydrophobic active agent colloidal nano-dispersion having a mean particle size less than 200-nm is formed. Provided herein are also methods of treating oncological disorders by administering formulations described herein to a subject such that treatment or prevention of the oncological disorder occurs.

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for inhibiting nonenzymatic cross-linking (protein aging). Accordingly, a composition is disclosed which comprises an agent capable of inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts of target proteins by reacting with a carbonyl moiety of an early glycosylation product of such target proteins resulting from their initial glycosylation. The method comprises contacting the target protein with the composition. Both industrial and therapeutic applications for the invention are envisioned, as food spoilage and animal protein aging can be treated.
The agents comprise compounds having the following structural formula:
R₁-CH₂-R₂ (I)
wherein R₁ is -CN, or
R₂ is the same as R₁, or additionally can be -SO₂R,
R is a lower alkyl group;
R₃ is R, -OH, -OR, -NH₂, -NHNH₂, -NHR;
with the proviso that when R₁ and R₂ are independently selected from
wherein R₃ is R, -OR or -NHR, then the lower alkyl portion may be an alkanediyl bridge of 1-5 carbon atoms joining the molecule into a cyclic structure; their pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts; and
a carrier therefor.

The present disclosure relates to a method of inducing apoptosis in a cancer cell by delivery of exogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to effectuate cell contact of endogenous Coenzyme Q1O or its metabolites thereof in addition to but not limited to mevalonic acid and oleic acid to form an intracellular complex. The present disclosure also provides a method of modulating the p53 pathway and Bcl-2 protein family in a manner that restores the apoptotic potential to a cancer cell by delivery of Coenzyme Q1O in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The present disclosure further provides a method to specifically normalize the ratio of pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 gene family in a proportion to re-program a cancer cell to undergo apoptosis.
