Disclosed herein are compositions and methods relating to treating, preventing, reducing, and/or inhibiting cancers, infectious diseases, and/or neurological disorders.

Provided herein are compounds, compositions, conjugates and methods for the treatment of diseases, and/or conditions such as, but not limited to, proliferative diseases. In certain embodiments, compounds, compositions, and conjugates are provided, which include cyclodextrin-based linker-payloads and protein conjugates thereof, and/or in combination with other agents. By administering these compounds, compositions, and conjugates as described herein to specific target cells, side-effects due to non-specific binding phenomena, for example, to non-target cells are reduced.

Compounds are provided according to Formula (A): and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof; wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, and R.sup.G are as defined herein. Compounds of the present invention are contemplated useful for the prevention and treatment of a variety of conditions. ##STR00001##

The present specification discloses tripartite androgen receptor eliminators (AREs), pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such AREs, methods and uses for such AREs and compositions and medicaments, and methods and uses for AREs and compositions and medicaments for treating an androgen receptor signaling-mediated condition, disease or disorder.

The present disclosure provides modified neuroactive steroids. The modified neuroactive steroids may comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of a therapeutic agent and/or a modifying moiety. The modified neuroactive steroid can have modified characteristics as compared to native neuroactive steroids that do not include a modifying moiety and/or therapeutic agent. The modified neuroactive steroid may be, for example, modified pregnenolone, pregnenolone metabolites, allopregnanolone, and/or allopregnanolone metabolites. The modified neuroactive steroids can be used to treat, prevent and/or ameliorating a phenotypic state of interest in a subject.

The disclosure relates to anti-cancer compounds derived from nuclear steroid receptor binders, to products containing the same, as well as to methods of their use and preparation.

The present invention relates to compounds which are intermediates in the synthesis of bile acid derivatives with pharmacological activity. The invention relates to compounds of general formula (I): ##STR00001##
wherein: , R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and Y are as defined herein. The compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of synthetic bile acids which are useful in the treatment of conditions such as liver disease. In addition, the invention relates to a method of synthesizing these intermediates and a method of preparing obeticholic acid and obeticholic acid analogues from the compounds of the invention.
