The present invention relates to novel substituted benzene disulfonamides, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing at least one of these substituted benzene disulfonamides together with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, excipient and/or diluent. Said substituted benzene disulfonamides are binding to the prenyl binding pocket of PDE6 and therefore, are useful for the prophylaxis and treatment of cancer by inhibition of the binding of PDE6 to farnesylated Ras proteins and thereby, inhibition of oncogenic Ras signaling in cells.

Disclosed herein are secondary amine compounds that inhibit tRNA synthetase. The compounds of the invention are useful in inhibiting tRNA synthetase in Gram-negative bacteria and are useful in killing Gram-negative bacteria. The secondary amine compounds of the invention are also useful in the treatment of tuberculosis.

The present invention provides new prodrugs of therapeutically active loop diuretics, including oligomeric prodrugs, and compositions to treat medical disorders, for example, ocular disorders such as glaucoma, a disorder or abnormality related to an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP), a disorder requiring neuroprotection, age-related macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
