The present disclosure relates, in certain embodiments, to the finding that certain compounds that modulate the activity(ies) of Sigma receptors can be used to disrupt virus lifecycle, infection, and/or dissemination. The compounds contemplated in the disclosure are useful in the prevention, treatment, and/or amelioration of virus infection, either alone or in combination with at least one additional therapeutic agent, which can be an antiviral agent and/or an agent that treats, ameliorates, and/or prevents one or more virus infection symptoms and/or co-morbidities. In certain embodiments, the Sigma receptor is a Sigma-1 receptor (also known as Sigma1) or Sigma-2 receptor (also known as Sigma2 or TMEM97). In certain embodiments, Sigma1 inhibitors/antagonists that cause and/or trigger ER stress and/or autophagy are useful within the methods of the disclosure.

The invention discloses compounds of the formula wherein A, B, X, Y and Z are defined. The compounds of the invention show activity against a range of bacteria, and are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of a bacterial infection in an animal.

The present invention relates to a biguanide derivative compound capable of effectively preventing and treating immune diseases. The biguanide-based derivative compound according to the present invention inhibits the generation of IL-17 and TNF-α, which are inflammatory cytokines, increases the activity of regulatory T cells having an immunomodulatory function, and exhibits excellent therapeutic effects in animal models of immune diseases. Accordingly, the biguanide-based derivative compound can be usefully used as an immunosuppressant or a pharmaceutical composition capable of preventing or treating various immune diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, and transplant rejection, caused by the dysregulation of immune responses.
