Abstract:
The present invention provides HCV polymerase inhibiting compounds having the formula (I) where R 1 is cyclobutyl-N(R a )-, n is 1, 2, 3 or 4, and at least one R 5 is R a SO 2 N(R j )alkyl-. In a non-limiting example, a compound of the present invention is N-[(3-{1-[(cyclobutyl)amino]-4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-quinolin-3-yl}-1,1-dioxo-1,4-dihydro-1?λ 6 -thieno[2,3-e][1,2,4]thiadiazin-7-yl)meth yl]methane-sulfonamide. The present invention also features compositions comprising the compounds of the present invention or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, stereoisomers or tautomers thereof, and methods of using the same to treat or prevent HCV infection.
Abstract:
Compounds having the formula (I) are hepatitis C (HCV) polymerase inhibitors. Also disclosed are a composition and method for inhibiting hepatitis C (HCV) polymerase, processes for making the compounds, and synthetic intermediates employed in the processes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to antibodies and antigen-binding portions thereof that bind to and activate an erythropoietin receptor. The invention also relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding such antibodies and antigen-binding portions. The present invention further relates to methods of activating the endogenous activity of an erythropoietin receptor in a mammal using said antibodies and antigen-binding portions, methods of treatment, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising said antibodies and antigen-binding portions. The invention further provides compositions and crystals of an erythropoietin receptor in complex with an anti-erythropoietin receptor antibody. Specifically, the high-resolution structure provides binding sites defined by the structure coordinated determined herein.
Abstract:
Enantiomerically enriched compounds having the absolute stereochemistry of the formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof, which are useful for inhibiting neuraminidases from disease-causing microorganisms, especially, influenza neuraminidase. Also disclosed are compositions and methods for preventing and treating diseases caused by microorganisms having a neuraminidase, processes for preparing the compounds and synthetic intermediates used in these processes.
