A class of compounds useful in pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating or preventing cancer is described. Analogs of Mycalolide B have been prepared and tested in breast and ovarian cancer cell lines. The compounds show utility for inhibition of survival and proliferation of tumor cells. The compounds have been shown to disrupt actin.

Compositions and methods relating to induction of cell death such as in cancer cells are disclosed. Compounds and related methods for synthesis and use thereof, including the use of compounds in therapy for the treatment of cancer and selective induction of apoptosis in cells are disclosed. Compounds in connection with modification of procaspases such as procaspase-3 are disclosed. In various embodiments, the compounds and compositions are capable of activation of procaspase-3.

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising PPAR agonists and Nrf2 activators and methods of using combinations of PPAR agonists and Nrf2 activators for treating diseases such as psoriasis, asthma, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease, and arthritis.

The present invention features compounds useful in the treatment of neurological disorders and primary brain cancer. The compounds of the invention, alone or in combination with other pharmaceutically active agents, can be used for treating or preventing neurological disorders and primary brain cancer.

Bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (Raf, such as c-Raf, A-Raf, and/or B-Raf), are described herein. In particular, the hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure contain on one end a moiety that binds to the cereblon E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds Raf, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of target protein. The hetero-bifunctional compounds of the present disclosure exhibit a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation/inhibition of target protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aberrant regulation of the target protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

A composition includes a compound for treating and/or preventing a coronavirus infection in a subject. The coronavirus is severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2, SARS-CoV-1, or Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Methods include treating and/or preventing a coronavirus infection in a subject by administering the composition to the subject.

This invention provides amine-linked C.sup.3-glutarimide Degronimers and Degrons for therapeutic applications as described further herein, and methods of use and compositions thereof as well as methods for their preparation.
