A new series of N-substituted imide derivatives have been synthesized by treating phthalic anhydride, naphthalic anhydride and their substituted derivatives with 2-hydrazino-1-imidazoline hydrobromide, various para-substituted aryl amines, aminoglutethimide and 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine. Compounds 9, 10, 12, 18, 19, 23, 24 and 34-36 have been selected and screened for antineoplastic activity by National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, USA. Some newer aminoglutethimide derivatives 37-39 have also been prepared in order to study the effect of N-substitution on its pharmacological profile for the treatment of carcinoma. These compounds (37-39) have exhibited weak inhibition of human placental aromatase as compared to aminoglutethimide.

, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to compositions which inhibit the binding of nerve growth factor to the p75NTRcommon neurotrophin receptor and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, the compound which inhibits binding of nerve growth factor to p75NTRcomprises, particularly when bound to nerve growth factor, at least two of the following: (1) a first electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys34of nerve growth factor; (2) a second electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys95of nerve growth factor; (3) a third electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys88of nerve growth factor; (4) a fourth electronegative atom or functional group positioned to interact with Lys32of nerve growth factor; and (5) a hydrophobic moiety which interacts with the hydrophobic region formed by Ile31, Phe101and Phe86of nerve growth factor.
