The disclosure provides compositions and methods relating to aromatic-cationic peptides. The methods comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of an aromatic-cationic peptide to subjects in need thereof. For example, the peptides may be administered to subjects in need of a mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant.

Some embodiments include compounds that can inhibit the growth of bacterial and/or inhibit or reduce microbial infections caused by one or more microorganisms (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Cryptococcus neoformans) and methods of using these compounds to treat microbial infection and outbreaks and/or to reduce the formation of biofilms. Other embodiments include synthesis of the compounds that can inhibit the growth of one or more microorganisms and/or inhibit or reduce microbial infections.

The present disclosure relates to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted compounds conjugated to near-infra red (NIR) dyes and methods for their therapeutic and diagnostic use. More specifically, this disclosure provides compounds and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases associated with cells and/or vasculature expressing prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), such as prostate cancer and related diseases. The disclosure further describes methods and compositions for making and using the compounds, methods incorporating the compounds, and kits incorporating the compounds.

Disclosed are methods of making elamipretide (MTP-131), a peptide compound with therapeutic potential for treating various mitochondrial myopathies. The synthesis of the peptide can be achieved via the use of N-carboxyanhydride-modified amino acid residues, which increases the efficiency of the synthetic process and the purity of the peptide product generated.

The present invention relates to compound (I) or a salt thereof which has a RORt inhibitory action. In the formula (I), each symbol is as defined in the specification. ##STR00001##

The present invention is directed to compounds, compositions and methods for preventing, treating or curing Norovirus infection in human subjects or other animal hosts.

Provided are methods of treating a cancer characterized by the presence of a mutant allele of IDH1/2 comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a compound described here.

Compounds, compositions and methods for preventing, treating or curing a coronavirus, picornavirus, and/or hepeviridae virus infection in human subjects or other animal hosts. Specific viruses that can be treated include enteroviruses. In one embodiment, the compounds can be used to treat an infection with a severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, such as human coronavirus 229E, SARS, MERS, SARS-CoV-1 (OC43), and SARS-CoV-2. In another embodiment, the methods are used to treat a patient co-infected with two or more of these viruses, or a combination of one or more of these viruses and norovirus.

Provided herein are methods for treating certain inflammatory and/or respiratory conditions, disorders and diseases in humans using compositions comprising lipopeptides, including microcolins. The compositions are orally administered. The humans suitable for such treatments include those largely resistant to medical and surgical interventions, such as steroid treatments. The compositions described herein have also been found to reduce cosinophil effector function.

In accordance with the present subject matter there is provided a compound of Formula I wherein, R.sub.1 is substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.10 alkyl; and R.sub.2 is substituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.10 alkyl, a process for preparing a compound of Formula I, and a gel comprising a compound of Formula I. There is also provided a process for separating a hydrophobic material from a mixture of hydrophobic and hydrophilic material using a compound of Formula I. ##STR00001##
