The present invention discloses compounds of Formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, or prodrugs thereof:
X-A-Y-L-R  (I)
which inhibit the protein(s) encoded by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or interfere with the function of the HBV life cycle of the hepatitis B virus and are also useful as antiviral agents. The present invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the aforementioned compounds for administration to a subject suffering from HBV infection. The invention also relates to methods of treating an HBV infection in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compounds of the present invention.

Provided are compounds that inhibit ferroptosis activity, or modulate or inhibit a disease associated with ferroptosis dysregulation, such as neuropathy, ischemia reperfusion injury, acute kidney failure and cancer, including corresponding sulfonamides, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates and stereoisomers thereof. The compounds are employed in pharmaceutical compositions, and methods of making and use, including treating a person in need thereof with an effective amount of the compound or composition, and detecting a resultant improvement in the person's health or condition.

The present invention relates to a bifunctional chiral organocatalytic compound having excellent enantioselectivity, a preparation method therefor, and a method for producing a non-natural gamma amino acid from a nitro compound by using the chiral organocatalytic compound. According to the present invention, the bifunctional chiral organocatalytic compound having excellent enantioselectivity can be easily synthesized, gamma-amino acids with high optical selectivity can be obtained at a high yield by an economical and convenient method using the chiral organocatalytic compound, and various (R)-configuration gamma-amino acids, which are not present in nature, can be produced with high optical purity in large quantities by using a small amount of a catalyst, and therefore, the present invention can be widely utilized in various industrial fields including the pharmaceutical industry.

The present disclosure provides enynes, end-functionalized polymers, conjugates, methods of preparation, compositions, kits, and methods of use. The conjugates comprise at least (1) a peptide (e.g., an antibody), protein, nucleoprotein, mucoprotein, lipoprotein, glycoprotein, or polynucleotide; and (2) a polymer comprising a pharmaceutical agent. The conjugates may be useful in delivering (e.g., targeted delivering) the pharmaceutical agent to a subject in need thereof or cell or treating, preventing, or diagnosing a disease.

Simple organic structures, organic/inorganic polymers, and other substrates have been made, all of which have at least one pyrrolidone moiety present, and found to exhibit low toxicity, low complement activation features and may be used to reduce protein interactions with drug conjugates while enhancing in vivo residency times for these conjugates when used as an injectable composition; thus these compounds can be used as substitutes for PEG in PEGaylation. Surprisingly, these compounds also exhibit unique intrinsic fluorescence (IF) or non-traditional fluorescence (NTF) properties that currently cannot be explained by traditional photochemistry and fluorescence paradigms are described. These compounds have a variety of applications such as in cellular imaging, gene transfection, bio-diagnostics, biosensing, fluorescence directed surgical resections, drug delivery, forensics, environmental diagnostics, mineral/gemstone characterization, counterfeit goods detection, tracer studies related to liquid/water flow, oil field enhancements and diagnostics, prevention of photo-bleaching, and LED display enhancements and others.
