One embodiment of the invention is a compound represented by Formula I: or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The variables in Formula I are defined herein. Compounds of Formula I are CD38 inhibitors, which can be used to treat a disease or condition in a subject that benefits from an increase in NAD+ or to treat a mitochondrial disorder in a subject.

##STR00001##

The subject matter described herein is directed to ferroportin inhibitor compounds of Formula I and pharmaceutical salts thereof, methods of preparing the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of administering the compounds for prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases caused by a lack of hepcidin or iron metabolism disorders, particularly iron overload states, such as thalassemia, sickle cell disease and hemochromatosis, and also kidney injuries.

The present application relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of urogenital diseases and bone metastasis in a human, which pharmaceutical composition contains an effective amount of arsenous acid alkaline or earth alkaline metal salt and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant. According to the present invention, the alkaline arsenous acid metal salt is sodium meta-arsenita (AsO.sub.2Na) or potassium meta-arsenite (AsO.sub.2K). The effective amount of arsenous acid alkaline or earth alkaline metal salt is 0.0001-1500 mg/kg, preferably 1-1000 mg/kg, more preferably 1-150 mg/kg, and most preferably 50-100 mg/kg of body weight/day. The administration form of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention is preferably oral, such as a tablet, capsule, powder and/or solution with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.

The present invention relates to guanidine compounds for inhibiting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and use thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating a OXPHOS-related disease, particularly cancer, by inhibiting mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and reprogramming cellular metabolism.

Disclosed are pyrazole compounds, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof. One embodiment is a compound having the structure ##STR00001##
and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs and N-oxides thereof (and solvates and hydrates thereof), wherein A, X, Z, m, p, and R.sup.2 are as described herein. In certain embodiments, a compound disclosed herein inhibits the activity of one or more members of the TGF-β superfamily, and can be used to treat disease by blocking such activity.

The disclosure relates to oral formulations for gastric delivery of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a phenyl pyrrole aminoguanidine compound.

A peptide with anti-inflammatory activity is described, wherein the peptide comprises at least one amino acid sequence among SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179, the peptide has above 80% homology of amino acid sequence with above-mentioned sequences, or the peptide is the fragment of the above-mentioned peptides. An inflammatory composition comprising the above mentioned peptides is also described. The peptides that have at least one amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 to SEQ ID NO: 179 shows outstanding efficacy in both suppressing inflammation and in prophylactic means, Therefore, the composition comprising those peptides can be used as anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical compositions or as cosmetic compositions, in turn, treating and preventing a variety of different types of inflammatory diseases.

Disclosed are compounds of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions containing them, and to a process for the preparation of the compounds: ##STR00001##
