Compositions and methods are disclosed that relate to aminoglycoside-linker-peptide (P-L-A) conjugates having unexpectedly advantageous dual-function bactericidal properties. Encompassed compounds are shown to be capable of energy independent bacterial plasma membrane disruption and to exhibit potent toxicity to bacteria including antibiotic-resistant bacteria. These and related embodiments will find uses for treating bacterial infections including overcoming antibiotic resistance.
The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I):
1
wherein A
1
is methylene, ethylene or propylene group and A
2
is N or CR
5
, or stereoisomeric forms, stereoisomeric mixtures, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt forms thereof, which are useful as inhibitors of HCV NS3 protease, and to pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic kits comprising the same, and methods of using the same for treating viral infection or as an assay standard or reagent.
Disclosed is a composition of matter comprising an isolated polypeptide, which is a peripherally-restricted Na
V
1.7 inhibitor. In some disclosed embodiments, the isolated polypeptide is an inhibitor of Na
V
1.7. Other embodiments are conjugated embodiments of the inventive composition of matter and pharmaceutical compositions containing the inventive composition of matter. Isolated nucleic acids encoding some embodiments of inventive polypeptides and expression vectors, and recombinant host cells containing them are disclosed. A method of treating or preventing pain is also disclosed.
A dicarba analogue of insulin comprising an A-chain and a B-chain or fragments, salts, solvates, derivatives, isomers or tautomers of the A-chain, the B-chain or both, provided that the dicarba analogue is not [A7,B7-(2,7-diaminosuberoyl]-des-(B26-B30)-insulin B25-amide.
