The disclosure relates to methods, compositions, and kits for treatment of parasite-mediated disease. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, methods and kits for the treatment of malaria. In still another embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for treating malaria comprising the use of a Syk kinase inhibitor.

A compound represented by the general formula (I) given below or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof has been found to have a strong G9a inhibitory effect. The compound (I) or the pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof inhibits G9a and thereby has high usefulness for the treatment, prevention or suppression of various pathological conditions (proliferative disease such as cancer, β-globin abnormality, fibrosis, pain, neurodegenerative disease, Prader-Willi syndrome, malaria, viral infection, myopathy, autism, etc.).

##STR00001##

A compound represented by general formula (I) wherein all the symbols are as defined in the specification has a selective S1P5 receptor agonist activity due to having a linker from a phenyl group to a cyclic substituent in a dihydronaphthalene skeleton; i.e., due to having a short linker of one atom or less as L in general formula (I), and can therefore serve as an agent for treating S1P5-mediated disease, e. g., neurodegenerative disease such as schizophrenia. ##STR00001##

The present disclosure is generally directed to compositions that include antibodies, e.g., monoclonal, chimeric, humanized antibodies, antibody fragments, etc., that specifically bind a TREM1 protein, e.g., a mammalian TREM1 or human TREM1, and use of such compositions in preventing, reducing risk, or treating an individual in need thereof.

The present invention provides a compound of formula (Ia) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; ##STR00001## a method for manufacturing the compounds of the invention, solid forms, combinations of pharmacologically active agents, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of using such compounds and solid forms thereof to treat or prevent parasitic diseases, for example malaria.

The present disclosure provides isolated monoclonal antibodies, particularly human monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to PD-L1 with high affinity. Nucleic acid molecules encoding the antibodies of this disclosure, expression vectors, host cells and methods for expressing the antibodies of this disclosure are also provided. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The disclosure also provides methods for detecting PD-L1, as well as methods for treating various diseases, including cancer and infectious diseases, using anti-PD-L1 antibodies.

The compounds of the present invention are represented by the following compounds having Formula (I): ##STR00001## where the substituents R, R.sup.1-R.sup.5, k, m, n, and q are as defined herein. These compounds are used in the treatment of cancer, immunologic disorders, autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, or inflammatory disorders, infectious disease, or for providing immunosuppression for transplanted organs or tissues.

The present invention provides compounds that have antimalarial activity. More in particular, the present invention provides novel compounds that are analogues of pantothenamides. The pantothenamide analogues of this invention have particularly low IC.sub.50 values against the asexual blood stages and gametocytes of malaria parasites. Furthermore, the pantothenamide analogues of this invention are characterized by low hepatic metabolism. Therefore, pantothenamide analogues of the invention are particularly suitable for use in therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of protozoan infections in a human or animal subject in need thereof. The invention further provides pharmaceutical formulations comprising the pantothenamide analogues as well as the therapeutic and/or prophylactic uses of the pantothenamide analogues and pharmaceutical formulations comprising them.
