Abstract:
In alternative embodiments, the invention provides nucleophilic hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamine antidotes that cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to catalyze the hydrolysis of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) in the central nerve system (CNS). The hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamines of the invention are designed to fit within AChE active center gorge dimensions, bind with reasonable affinity, and react with the conjugated phosphate atom in the gorge. The hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamines of the invention are also designed to possess ionization states that govern affinity and reactivity for the two linked hAChE re-activation steps. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides pumps, devices, subcutaneous infusion devices, continuous subcutaneous infusion devices, infusion pens, needles, reservoirs, ampoules, a vial, a syringe, a cartridge, a disposable pen or jet injector, a prefilled pen or a syringe or a cartridge, a cartridge or a disposable pen or jet injector, a two chambered or multi-chambered pump, a syringe, a cartridge or a pen or a jet injector, comprising a compound of the invention.
Abstract:
In alternative embodiments, provided are selective agonists having a high affinity for the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR), assays for selectivity of nicotinic receptor subtype and ligand-gated ion channel subtype based on receptor occupation and response, behavioral assessments for reversing cognitive impairment after scopolamine treatment, enhancing memory retention over time, pharmaceutical compositions and formulations and devices comprising them, and methods for making and using them, including characterizing and efficiently assaying them for receptor subtype selectivity. In alternative embodiments, provided are substituted anti 1,2,3-triazoles compounds with high affinity, and selective binding, for the alpha7 nicotine acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR), as exemplified by 5-(1-(2-(Piperidin-1-yl)ethyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1H-indole (“IND1”), 5-((quinuclid-3-yl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1H-indole (“IND8”) and 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl) quinuclidine (“QND8”). In alternative embodiments, provided are products of manufacture such as pumps, devices, syringes and the like comprising a compound, pharmaceutical composition or formulation as provided herein.
Abstract:
A copper catalyzed click chemistry ligation process is employed to bind azides and terminal acetylenes to provide 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole triazoles. The process comprises contacting an organic azide and a terminal alkyne with a source of reactive Cu(I) ion in human blood plasma to form by cycloaddition a 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole. The source of reactive Cu(I) ion can be, for example, a Cu(I) salt, Cu(II) ion in the presence of a reducing agent, or copper metal.

Abstract:
Provided are N-alkyl imidazole 2-aldoximes, including cationic imidazolium and uncharged tertiary imidazole aldoximes, and compositions and methods for making and using them, including methods for reactivating human butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) or acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibited by organophosphate (OP). By administration of a composition of the invention, the inactive or conjugated hBChE-OP or hAChE-OP is reactivated and the catalytic cycle of turnover and inactivation of the OP is completed; and in alternative embodiments, secondary mechanisms of reversible protection of hBChE and hAChE from irreversible inactivation by OPs and reactivation of tissue AChE also contribute to overall efficacy.
