Disclosed herein, inter alia, are methods of use and composition of novel inhibitors that target the Smac binding site of a variety of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins that contain a Bir domain, including XIAP, cIAP1, cIAP2, or other IAP proteins.

Disclosed are crystalline forms of L-Lys(Boc)-Phe-NH.sub.2 and Boc-D-Arg-DMT. The crystalline forms may be used in the synthesis of elamipretide.

The present invention discloses a prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) binding compound, a radioactive isotope complex thereof, and the use thereof in nuclear medicine as a tracer and an imaging agent for different disease states of prostate cancer.

Disclosed are non-natural peptides useful for the treatment and prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury) or myocardial infarction.

Disclosed are crystalline forms of L-Lys(Boc)-Phe-NH.sub.2 and Boc-D-Arg-DMT. The crystalline forms may be used in the synthesis of elamipretide.

The present disclosure relates to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) targeted compounds conjugated to near-infra red (NIR) dyes and methods for their therapeutic and diagnostic use. More specifically, this disclosure provides compounds and methods for diagnosing and treating diseases associated with cells and/or vasculature expressing prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), such as prostate cancer and related diseases. The disclosure further describes methods and compositions for making and using the compounds, methods incorporating the compounds, and kits incorporating the compounds.

Provided herein are methods of making the compound of Formula I: ##STR00001##
and certain intermediates involved in such process.

Prodrugs of an NMDA antagonist, (S)-1-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanamine, useful for the treatment of depression (particularly major depressive disorder) or pain; compositions comprising them, and methods of making them.

The invention described herein pertains to the diagnosis, imaging, and/or treatment of pathogenic cell populations. In particular, the invention described herein pertains to the diagnosis, imaging, and/or treatment of diseases caused by PSMA expressing cells, such as prostate cancer cells, using compounds capable of targeting PSMA expressing cells.

Devices, bandages, kits and methods are described that can control or regulate the mechanical environment of a wound to ameliorate scar and/or keloid formation. The mechanical environment of a wound includes stress, strain, and any combination of stress and strain. The control of a wound's mechanical environment can be active, passive, dynamic, or static. The devices are configured to be removably secured to a skin surface in proximity to the wound site and shield the wound from endogenous and/or exogenous stress.
