The present invention features compositions, methods, and kits useful in the treatment of viral diseases. In certain embodiments, the viral disease is caused by a single stranded RNA virus, a flaviviridae virus, or a hepatic virus. In particular embodiments, the viral disease is viral hepatitis (e.g., hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E) and the agent or combination of agents includes sertraline, a sertraline analog, UK-416244, or a UK-416244 analog. Also featured are screening methods for identification of novel compounds that may be used to treat a viral disease.

The present disclosure is generally directed to neuroactive 17(20)-Z-vinylcyano-substituted compound of Formula (I) and (II), as referenced herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, for use as, for example, an anesthetic, and/or in the treatment of disorders relating to GABA function and activity. The present disclosure is further directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds.
A method for determining an analyte in a sample suspected of containing the analyte comprises providing in combination a medium, the sample, and two or more different receptors. Each different receptor binds to at least two different epitopic sites. One of the epitopic sites is a common binding site and one of the epitopic sites is non-common binding site. The non-common epitopic sites are different for each different receptor. The receptors exhibit mono-molecular binding. The medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the receptors to the epitopic sites. The medium is examined for the presence and/or amount of complexes comprising the epitopic sites and the receptors. The presence and/or amount of the complexes indicate the presence and/or amount of the analyte in the sample.
A highly selective hydrogenation of 3-keto in steroids to 3-hydroxyl steroids catalyzed by hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (HSDHs) was demonstrated. The Ct3α-HSDH-catalyzed hydrogenation generated 3α-hydroxyl steroids as the main enantiopure isomers in high yields, while the Ss3β-HSDH catalytic system afforded 3β-hydroxyl steroids in excellent yields. In both catalytic systems, the hydrogenation proceeded

A transgenic cell is disclosed, where includes a culture cell, and an androgen receptor-expression vector and a foreign reporter gene introduced into said culture cell, said foreign reporter gene having a gene promoter, which is a target of said androgen and an androgen receptor, inserted therein. This transgenic cell is used for detecting a disruptor in a material to be examined through examining the expression of the foreign reporter gene when being brought into contact with the material.
