The present invention provides compounds for inhibiting matriptase 2, or a mutant thereof, and compositions and methods of use thereof.

Compounds described herein may be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases linked to protein misfolding, including prion diseases, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and also other neurodegenerative, degenerative, metabolic and ischemic conditions. Indeed, NAD metabolism impairment is also a critical feature in brain ischemia/reperfusion injury, Wallerian degeneration, kidney failure, multiple sclerosis, aging, and metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus. Therapies that elevate or stabilize NAD levels may thus have broad potential for treating many severely debilitating neurological and metabolic conditions. Evidence is provided herein with compounds from 8 lead series for NAD restoring properties and for therapeutic efficacy in cellular and/or animal models of prion disease, PD and ALS.

Compositions and methods for the treatment of tuberculosis, as well as other mycobacterial and gram positive bacterial infections are disclosed. These compositions contain a highly potent and selective oxazolidinone encapsulated with high efficiency to maximize dosing potential of low toxicity drugs, and are stable in the presence of plasma. The compositions are long circulating and retain their encapsulated drug while in the circulation following intravenous dosing to allow for efficient accumulation at the site of the bacterial or mycobacterial infection. The high doses that can be achieved when combined with the long circulating properties and highly stable retention of the drug allow for a reduced frequency of administration when compared to daily or twice daily administrations of other drugs typically utilized to treat these infections.
