A pharmacological approach to inhibition of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (Cdk4/6) using highly selective small molecule inhibitors has the potential provide novel cancer therapies for clinical use. Achieving high levels selectivity Cdk4/6, versus other ATP-dependent kinases, presents a significant challenge. The pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one template provides an effective platform broad cross-section including Cdks. It is now demonstrated that modification pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7-ones...

Oxazolidinone antibiotics have activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Linezolid, the only marketed oxazolidinone, has been used off-label in combination regimens to treat multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, but its precise contribution efficacy of such combinations is unclear. Another PNU-100480, demonstrated more potent vitro and a murine model In this study, we compared pharmacokinetics antituberculosis activities these two oxazolidinones over range doses found that linezolid limited...

As the need for novel antibiotic classes to combat bacterial drug resistance increases, paucity of leads resulting from target-based antibacterial screening pharmaceutical compound libraries is major concern. One explanation this lack success that efforts have not leveraged eukaryotic bias more extensive chemistry targeting gene families such as G protein-coupled receptors and protein kinases. Consistent with a focus on target space resembling these targets, we used whole-cell identify...

Sutezolid (PNU-100480) is a linezolid analog with superior bactericidal activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the hollow fiber, whole blood and mouse models. Like linezolid, it unaffected by mutations conferring resistance to standard TB drugs. This study of sutezolid its first patients.Sputum smear positive patients were randomly assigned 600 mg BID (N = 25) or 1200 QD 25), 4-drug therapy 9) for 14 days treatment. Effects on mycobacterial burden sputum (early EBA) monitored as...

Compound 4 (PF-04971729) belongs to a new class of potent and selective sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors incorporating unique dioxa-bicyclo[3.2.1]octane (bridged ketal) ring system. In this paper we present the design, synthesis, preclinical evaluation, human dose predictions related 4. This compound demonstrated robust urinary excretion in rats an excellent safety profile. It is currently phase clinical trials being evaluated for treatment type diabetes.

ABSTRACT Sutezolid (PNU-100480 [U-480]) is an oxazolidinone antimicrobial being developed for the treatment of tuberculosis. An active sulfoxide metabolite (PNU-101603 [U-603]), which reaches concentrations in plasma several times those parent, has been reported to drive killing extracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis by sutezolid hollow-fiber culture. However, relative contributions parent and against intracellular M. vivo are not fully understood. The relationships between U-480 U-603...

Summary A phase 1b/2, three‐month study of marstacimab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), was conducted in participants with haemophilia or B, without inhibitors. Participants assigned to four cohorts received escalating weekly doses based on status (without inhibitors: 300 mg, single 300‐mg loading dose subsequent 150‐mg doses, 450 mg; mg). Safety outcomes were treatment‐emergent adverse events (TEAEs), injection site reactions, clinical and...

Oxazolidinones possessing a C-5 carboxamide functionality (reverse amides) represent new series of compounds that block bacterial protein synthesis. These reverse amides also exhibited less potency against monoamine oxidase (MAO) enzymes and thus possess potential for the side effects associated with MAO inhibition. The title compound (14) showed reduced in vivo myelotoxicity compared to linezolid 14-day safety study rats, potent efficacy murine systemic infection models, excellent...
