Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pharmaceutical composition and method, for treating or preventing a disease ameliorated by modulation of premature translation termination or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; or to provide a method for ameliorating one or more symptoms associated therewith.SOLUTION: This invention relates to: novel 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid compounds such as illustrated below; a method of using a 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid derivative; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid derivative.
Abstract:
Novel 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid compounds, methods of using and pharmaceutical compositions comprising an 1,2,4-oxadiazole benzoic acid derivative are disclosed. The methods include methods of treating or preventing a disease ameliorated by modulation of premature translation termination or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or ameliorating one or more symptoms associated therewith.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for screening and identifying compounds that modulate premature translation termination and/or nonsense-mediated messenger ribonucleic acid ("mRNA") by interacting with a preselected target ribonucleic acid ("RNA"). In particular, the present invention relates to identifying compounds that bind to regions of the 28S ribosomal RNA ("rRNA") and analogs thereof. Direct, noncompetitive binding assays are advantageously used to screen libraries of compounds for those that selectively bind to a preselected target RNA. Binding of target RNA molecules to a particular compound is detected using any physical method that measures the altered physical property of the target RNA bound to a compound. The structure of the compound attached to the labeled RNA is also determined. The methods used will depend, in part, on the nature of the library screened. The methods of the present invention provide a simple, sensitive assay for high-throughput screening of libraries of compounds to identify pharmaceutical leads.

The present invention relates to a method for screening and identifying compounds that modulate premature translation termination and/or nonsense-mediated messenger ribonucleic acid ('mRNA') by interacting with a preselected target ribonucleic acid ('RNA'). In particular, the present invention relates to identifying compounds that bind to regions of the 28S ribosomal RNA ('rRNA') and analogs thereof. Direct, noncompetitive binding assays are advantageously used to screen libraries of compounds for those that selectively bind to a preselected target RNA.
