This invention provides a method of treating a subject afflicted with a cancer comprising periodically administering to the subject an amount of a FABP5 inhibitor and an amount of an anticancer therapy, wherein the amounts when taken together are effective to treat the subject. This invention also provides FABP5 inhibitors for use as an add-on therapy or in combination with an anticancer therapy or in treating a subject afflicted with a cancer. This invention also provides the use of a FABP5 inhibitor in the manufacturing of a medicament for use in combination or as an add on with an anticancer therapy in treating a subject afflicted with cancer, wherein the FABP5 inhibitor and the anticancer therapy are administered simultaneously, contemporaneously or concomitantly. This invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amount of a FABP5 inhibitor and an amount of an anticancer therapy for use in treating a subject afflicted with a cancer, wherein the FABP5 inhibitor and an anticancer therapy are administered sequentially or simultaneously.

The present invention relates generally to compositions and methods for treating neurodegenerative diseases and disorders, particularly ophthalmic diseases and disorders. Provided herein are alkoxyl derivative compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds. The subject compositions are useful for treating and preventing ophthalmic diseases and disorders, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Stargardt’s Disease.

The present invention relates to novel hydroxyl compounds, compositions comprising hydroxyl compounds, and methods useful for treating and preventing a variety of diseases and conditions such as, but not limited to aging, Alzheimer's Disease, cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, a disorder of glucose metabolism, dyslipidemia, dyslipoproteinemia, hypertension, impotence, inflammation, insulin resistance, lipid elimination in bile, obesity, oxysterol elimination in bile, pancreatitis, pancreatitis, Parkinson's disease, a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-associated disorder, phospholipid elimination in bile, renal disease, septicemia, metabolic syndrome disorders (e.g., Syndrome X), thrombotic disorder.
