FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relates to prodrug compounds capable of targeting and delivering cytotoxic drugs to tumors and metastatic cells. The drugs are useful in the treatment of cancer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Although many drugs are known that kill cancer cells, there are apparently
The present invention relates to certain substituted oxadiazole, thiadiazole and triazole peptoids which are useful as inhibitors of serine proteases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The serine proteases are a class of enzymes which includes elastase, chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, trypsin and thrombin.
INTRODUCTION
Cytokines of the interleukin 1 family (IL-1) play a major role in a large number of autoimmune, infectious and inflammatory diseases (Sims J E and Smith D E, Nature Rev Immunology 2010). Interleukin 33 (IL-33), initially named NF-HEV, is a new cytokine of the IL-1 family comprising 270
The present invention relates to purified nucleic acids encoding a krill-derived enzymes such as proteinases, which can be a multifunctional protein, and to purified polypeptides. A protein having "multifunctional activity," is defined herein as including at least one of a chymotrypsin, trypsin,
The present invention relates to purified nucleic acids encoding a krill-derived multifunctional protein and to purified polypeptides having multifunctional activity. A protein having "multifunctional activity," is defined herein as including at least one of a chymotrypsin, trypsin, collagenase,
The present invention relates to a krill-derived multifunctional enzyme and a family of crustacean and fish derived enzymes having substantial structural similarity to the multifunctional enzyme derived from antarctic krill. The invention additionally relates to the multifunctional enzyme, to
The present invention relates to the discovery that there exists a family of crustacean and fish derived enzymes having substantial structural similarity to an enzyme derived from antarctic krill. The krill enzyme is the subject of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/338,501, filed Nov. 22, 1994,
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Collagen is the major structural constituent of mammalian organisms and makes up a large portion of the total protein content of skin and other parts of the animal body. In humans, it is particularly important in the wound healing process and in the process of natural
The present invention relates to certain substituted oxadiazole, thiadiazole and triazole peptoids which are useful as inhibitors of serine proteases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The serine proteases are a class of enzymes which include elastase, chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, trypsin and thrombin.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The serine proteases are a class of enzymes, which includes elastase, chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, trypsin and thrombin. These proteases have in common a catalytic triad consisting of Serine-195, Histidine-57 and Aspartic acid-102 (chymotrypsin numbering system). Human
The present invention relates to certain substituted oxadiazole nonpeptides, which are useful as inhibitors of serine proteases.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The serine proteases are a class of enzymes, which includes elastase, chymotrypsin, cathepsin G, trypsin and thrombin. These proteases have in
