The phospholidine compounds can include a P-phenyl phospholidine moiety which is substituted with an N-aryl or N-heteroaryl group. The P-phenyl phospholidine moiety can be optionally substituted at phosphorus with thio (S) instead of oxo (O). A second heteroatom attached to phosphorus can be cyclically linked to the N-substituted nitrogen atom of the phospholidine that is attached to the phosphorus to provide, together with the phosphorus atom through which they are connected, a heterocyclic ring. By incorporating such a cyclic constraint between two phosphorus substituents of the core linking moiety a favorable binding conformation can be promoted in the compounds. Selected compounds promote apoptosis in senescent cells, and can be developed for treating senescent-related conditions, such as osteoarthritis, ophthalmic disease, pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis. Selected compounds promote apoptosis in cancer cells, and can be developed as chemotherapeutic agents.

Phosphonamidate compounds disclosed herein typically include a P-phenyl phosphonamidate moiety which is substituted with an N-aryl or N-heteroaryl group. The P-phenyl phosphonamidate moiety may be optionally substituted at phosphorus with thio (S) instead of oxo (O), and/or with a thioxy group or a second amino group instead of an oxy group. One of the heteroatoms attached to phosphorus may be cyclically linked to the N-substituted nitrogen atom that is attached to the phosphorus to provide a heterocyclic ring. By incorporating such a cyclic constraint between two phosphorus substituents of the core linking moiety, a favorable binding conformation may be promoted in the compounds. Selected compounds promote apoptosis in senescent cells, and can be developed for treating senescent-related conditions, such as osteoarthritis, ophthalmic disease, pulmonary disease, and atherosclerosis.

The present invention provides morpholino modified oligomeric compounds having at least one monomer subunit having Formula III, compounds having Formula I useful for making certain of the morpholino modified oligomeric compounds and methods of using the oligomeric compounds. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein provide for an improved toxicity profile. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount of activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell.

A nitrogenous heterocyclic compound, a preparation method, an intermediate, a composition, and an application. The present invention provides a nitrogenous heterocyclic compound as represented by formula I, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, enantiomers thereof, diastereoisomers thereof, tautomers thereof, solvates thereof, metabolites thereof, or prodrugs thereof. The compound has high inhibitory activity against ErbB2 tyrosine kinase, has good inhibitory activity against human breast cancer cells BT-474, human gastric cancer cells NCI-N87 and the like with high expression of ErbB2, and in addition has relatively weak inhibitory activity against EGFR kinase, that is, the compound is an EGFR/ErbB2 double target inhibitor that attenuates EGFR kinase inhibitory activity or a small-molecule inhibitor having selectivity for an ErbB2 target.

Disclosed herein are novel quinone methide analog precursors and embodiments of a method and a kit of using the same for detecting one or more targets in a biological sample. The method of detection comprises contacting the sample with a detection probe, then contacting the sample with a labeling conjugate that comprises an enzyme. The enzyme interacts with a quinone methide analog precursor comprising a detectable label, forming a reactive quinone methide analog, which binds to the biological sample proximally to or directly on the target. The detectable label is then detected. In some embodiments, multiple targets can be detected by multiple quinone methide analog precursors interacting with different enzymes without the need for an enzyme deactivation step.

The present invention relates to novel sulfur derivatives, processes for preparing them, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as pharmaceuticals as modulators of chemokine receptors.
