Compounds represented by formulae I, II, III, and IV including pro-drugs for treprostinil and prostacyclin analogs. Uses include treatment of pulmonary hypertension (PH) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The structures of the compounds can be adapted to the particular application for a suitable treatment dosage. Transdermal applications can be used.

Compounds and methods for purifying oligonucleotides such as RNA and DNA. A target oligonucleotide is reacted with an orthoester linker comprising an affinity tag to form an orthoester oligonucleotide-orthoester linker conjugate which is subjected to a purification technique to separate the target oligonucleotide from impurities such as truncated oligonucleotides. The orthoester linker can be then removed under mild conditions to generate the target oligonucleotide in high purity.

The present invention relates to prevention of congenital deformations. The invention further relates to cancer inhibition and prevention. The invention further relates to methods and compositions to modulate, antagonize, or agonize disparate signaling pathways that may converge to regulate patterning events and gene expression during prenatal development, postnatal development, and during development in the adult, organism. The invention also relates to activators or deactivators of pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) for the treatment, prevention, or amelioration of diseases related to PKM2 function.
