The present invention relates to the use of a pharmaceutically effective amount of an short-acting calcium channel blocking compound to treat ischemic heart conditions, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertensive crisis in an emergency room setting, hypertension before, during, or after surgery, no-reflow phenomenon following reperfusion, and diseases associated with decreased skeletal muscle blood flow. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions formulated for use in such methods and to kits for such methods.

The subject matter of the present invention is novel families of compounds which are aromatic amine, imine, aminoadamantane and benzodiazepine derivatives, medicaments comprising same and the use thereof as inhibitors of the toxic effects of toxins with intracellular activity, such as, for example, ricin, and of viruses that use the internalization pathway for infecting cells.

Disclosed are methods and pharmaceutical compositions for modulating one or more steroidal receptor activities. The methods typically utilize and the pharmaceutical compositions typically include one or more substituted phenyl aziridine precursors, their respective aziridines, analogs thereof, derivatives thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof such as CpdA. The methods and compositions may be used for treating diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with glucocorticoid receptor activity, androgen receptor activity, or both, such as cancers, acne vulgaris, and alopecia.

This document discloses a novel class of compounds for inhibiting bacterial growth and treating bacterial infection. The compounds target a key step of the futalosine pathway and therefore are effective for the selective inhibition of certain bacterial species and genera with reduced side effect in comparison with conventional antibiotics.

This disclosure is directed, at least in part, to GPR40 agonists useful for the treatment of conditions or disorders involving the gut-brain axis. In some embodiments, the GPR40 agonists are gut-restricted compounds. In some embodiments, the GPR40 agonists are full agonists or partial agonists. In some embodiments, the condition or disorder is a metabolic disorder, such as diabetes, obesity, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), or a nutritional disorder such as short bowel syndrome.

Disclosed are methods, compounds, and compositions for treating infection by an Apicomplexan parasite that include administering a compound that selectively inactivates ornithine aminotransferase of the Apicomplexan parasite. Specifically, the methods, compounds, compounds may be utilized for treating infection by Toxoplasma gondii and toxoplasmosis and for treating infection by Plasmodium falciparum and malaria. The compounds disclosed herein are observed to selectively inactivate Toxoplasma gondii ornithine aminotransferase (TgOAT) relative to human OAT and relative to human γ-aminobutyric aminotransferase (GABA-AT).
