The present invention provides compounds and methods for the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. In particular, LFA-1 antagonists are described herein and these antagonists are used in the treatment of LFA-1 mediated diseases. One aspect of the invention provides for diagnosis of an LFA-1 mediated disease and administration of a LFA-1 antagonist, after the patient is diagnosed with a LFA-1 mediated disease. In some embodiments, the LFA-1 mediated diseases treated are dry eye disorders. Also provided herein are methods for identifying compounds which are LFA-1 antagonists.

The present invention relates to a series of novel compounds, methods to prevent or treat viral infections in animals by using the novel compounds and to said novel compounds for use as a medicine, more preferably for use as a medicine to treat or prevent viral infections, particularly infections with RNA viruses, more particularly infections with viruses belonging to the family of the Flaviviridae, and yet more particularly infections with the Dengue virus. The present invention furthermore relates to pharmaceutical compositions or combination preparations of the novel compounds, to the compositions or preparations for use as a medicine, more preferably for the prevention or treatment of viral infections. The invention also relates to processes for preparation of the compounds. ##STR00001##

The present disclosure relates to using green solvents to synthesize an array of imines, imine-related and imine-derived compounds in an efficient and eco-friendly matter, satisfying green chemistry requirements. Reaction embodiments are performed using solvents, such as ethyl lactate and dimethyl isosorbide, which are both individually characterized as green. In embodiments, solvents include lactic whey and/or water as co-solvents. In these green solvents, the synthesis process discussed herein can produce up to quantitative yields of product at room temperature in a short duration. Embodiments include a method of forming an imine, imine-related or imine-derived compound product. In embodiments, the methods include mixing an aldehyde reactant with a nucleophilic/nitrogen-containing reactant in a green solvent at a temperature between negative twenty degrees Celsius (−20° C.) and positive fifty degrees Celsius (50° C.); stirring the mixture; and forming an imine, imine-related or imine-derived compound product.

Disclosed is a compound containing a specific structure having an azomethine part, the compound being reversibly fluidized and non-fluidized by being irradiated with light.

The present invention relates to: a disubstituted adamantyl derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and an anticancer pharmaceutical composition and a kit containing same as an active ingredient. The disubstituted adamantyl derivative according to the present invention suppresses the growth of cancer cells by targeting mitochondria ETC complex I and damaging the metabolism of cancer cells, and thus can be useful as an anticancer pharmaceutical composition that is a powerful therapeutic agent for cancer dependent on oxidative phosphorylation for producing ATP.

Novel p62 ligand compounds, or a stereoisomer, a solvate, a hydrate, or a prodrug thereof are disclosed. The novel compounds, stereoisomer, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug activates selective autophagy in cells to selectively remove proteins, organelles, and coagulations in the body, and thus can be advantageously used as a pharmaceutical composition for preventing, ameliorating, or treating various proteinopathies. Compositions such as pharmaceutical composition or food compositions containing the novel p62 ligand compounds, stereoisomer, solvate, hydrate, or prodrug thereof as well as uses thereof are disclosed.
