ESTROGEN-RELATED RECEPTOR ALPHA BASED PROTAC COMPOUNDS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE
-
Paragraph 0290; 0291, (2016/03/13)
The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.
COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR THE INHIBITION OF VCB E3 UBIQUITIN LIGASE

Page/Page column 202, (2013/07/25)
The present invention relates to novel compounds which find utility as modulators, especially inhibitors of VCB E3 Ubiquitin Ligase and as bioactive agents for use as therapeutics for the stimulation of erythropoiesis in a patient or subject including inducement of EPO production in the patient or subject, for the treatment of chronic anemia and ischemia (limits brain injury during episodes of localized anemia, ischemia and/or stroke and damage to cardiovascular tissue during cardiovascular ischemia), as well as enhancing wound healing processes. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising effective amounts of compounds according to the present invention alone or in combination with an additional erythropoieses stimulating agent such as EPO under the tradename procrit or epogen or darbapoietin alfa under the tradename aranesp. Methods of stimulating erythropoiesis in a subject or patient, including increasing the number of red blood cells and/or hematocrit of the patient, treating anemia, including chronic anemia and anemia associated with chronic kidney disease, dialysis, and cancer chemotherapy, ischemia, stroke and damage to cardiovascular tissue during cardiovascular ischemia as well as enhancing wound healing processes and preventing/reducing scarring secondary to healing represent additional aspects of the present invention. Local enhancement of angiogenesis through induction of VEGF including wound healing and reduction of stent occlusion remain additional aspects of the present invention.
Caspase inhibitors and uses thereof

Page 13, (2008/06/13)
This invention provides novel compounds, and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof, that are useful as caspase inhibitors. These compounds have the general formula I: where R1, R2, and R3 are as described herein, Ring A contains zero to two double bonds, each X is independently selected from nitrogen or carbon, at least one X in Ring A is a nitrogen, Ring A is optionally substituted as described, and may be fused to a saturated or unsaturated five to seven membered ring containing zero to three heteroatoms, and provided that when X3 is a carbon, a substituent on X3 is attached by an atom other than nitrogen.
