Repurposing CDK Inhibitors for the Treatment of Zika Virus Infection

This invention includes the discovery and use of a group of CDK inhibitors that were found during a drug repurposing screen designed to find compounds that inhibit Zika virus caused cell death. The identified CDK inhibitors have all previously been used in clinical trials for other diseases, potentially reducing the long time course needed for new drug...

Novel ACRV1/ALK2 Inhibitors and Methods for Inhibiting BMP Signaling for the Treatment of Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)

This technology includes the identification and use of novel ACRV1/ALK2 inhibitors for the treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), an autosomal-dominant rare disease that affects one person in every 1-2 million. FOP is characterized by malformation of the great (big) toes during embryonic development and by progressive heterotopic...

Repurposed Use of the Alkaloids Emetine and Cephaeline to Treat Zika Virus Infection

This technology includes the use of two related compounds, Emetine and Cephaeline, as a potent inhibitor of the Zika virus (ZIKV). Emetine and it's analog Cephaeline were identified in a high-throughput assay aimed at identifying anti-ZIKV compounds. Both Emetine and Cephaeline are potent inhibitors of ZIKV infection in cell culture, and Emeline is...

Novel Small Molecule Antimalarials for Elimination of Malaria Transmission

The transmission of malaria begins with injection of sporozoites into a human from the bite of a female anopheles mosquito, which initiates the malarial life cycle in humans. When a mosquito bites an infected human, the ingested male and female malaria gametocytes fuse to form a zygote that eventually becomes an oocyst. Each oocyst produces thousands...

Novel Small Molecule Inhibitors for the Treatment of Huntington’s Disease

This technology is a collection of small molecules screened for their ability to prevent or reduce the cytotoxic effects of the protein, Huntingtin. Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder due to a dominantly acting expansion of a CAG trinucleotide repeat in exon 1 of the Huntington (HTT) gene resulting in production of the altered (mutant)...
