Described herein are silicon based conjugates capable of delivering one or more payload moieties to a target cell or tissue. Contemplated conjugates may include a silicon-heteroatom core, one or more optional catalytic moieties, a targeting moiety that permits accumulation of the conjugate within a target cell or tissue, one or more payload moieties (e.g., a therapeutic agent or imaging agent), and two or more non-interfering moieties covalently bound to the silicon-heteroatom core.

The present application is directed to a method of inhibiting proliferation of chromosome instable cancer cells. This method involves administering, to a population of cancer cells comprising chromosome instable cancer cells, an inhibitor of Kinesin Family Member 18A (KIF18A) at a dosage effective to inhibit proliferation of said chromosome instable cancer cells. The inhibitors of KIF18A may also be used in a method treating cancer in a subject. This method involves selecting a subject having cancer, where the cancer is characterized by chromosomal instability, and administering to the subject an inhibitor of KIF18A at a dosage effective to treat the cancer in the subject. Also disclosed is a combination therapeutic including an inhibitor of Kinesin Family Member 18A (KIF18A) and agent that promotes microtubule turnover or a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor.

Described herein is a multiplexed and high content screening assay using primary neurons for identifying small molecule modulators of neuronal mitochondrial mitostasis (MnMs). Also described is a high throughput screening assay using primary neurons for identifying small molecules that increase mitochondrial function, identified by measuring the electrochemical potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane and ATP generation. Most MnMs that increased mitochondrial content, length and/or health also increased mitochondrial function without altering neurite outgrowth. Some MnMs protect mitochondria in primary neurons from Aβ(1-42) toxicity, glutamate toxicity, increased oxidative stress and the toxic cellular environment associated with Alzheimer's disease. Some MnMs target mitochondria directly. An MnM also increases the synaptic activity of hippocampal neurons and is potent in vivo, increasing the respiration rate of brain mitochondria after administering the compound to mice. The MnMs were demonstrated to protect the mitochondrial population in neurons in an in vivo model of Alzheimer's Disease. Also described is a method for treating a patient suffering from a disorder characterized by dysfunction of neuronal mitostasis, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a compound (MnM), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
