Abstract

Claims14
A peptide for inhibiting the interaction between a degradation-prone Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator and Disabled-2 comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising
- (i) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in admixture with a compound of Formula II, or hydrate, prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- R4 is ═O or ═S;
- and
- (ii) a CFTR corrector, CFTR potentiator, CAL inhibitor, mucolytic, anti-inflammatory agent or a combination thereof.
A pharmaceutical composition comprising
- (i) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in admixture with a compound of Formula III, or hydrate, prodrug or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- or
- R4 together with R3 or R5 form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group;
- R7 is a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- dashed bonds are independently present or absent;
- and
- (ii) a CFTR corrector, CFTR potentiator, CAL inhibitor, mucolytic, anti-inflammatory agent or a combination thereof.
A kit comprising
- (a) an agent that inhibits the interaction between a degradation-prone Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) and Disabled-2, wherein said agent comprises:
- (i) a peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2,
- (ii) a compound has the structure of Formula II:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- R4 is ═O or ═S, or
- (iii) a compound has the structure of Formula III:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- or
- R4 together with R3 or R5 form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group;
- R7 is a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- dashed bonds are independently present or absent;
- and
- (b) a CFTR corrector, CFTR potentiator, CAL inhibitor, mucolytic, anti-inflammatory agent or a combination thereof.
A method for treating cystic fibrosis comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising:
- (i) a peptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2,
- (ii) a compound has the structure of Formula II:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- R4 is ═O or ═S, or
- (iii) a compound has the structure of Formula III:
- wherein
- R1 is present or absent, and when present is a substituent on one or more ring atoms and is for each ring atom independently a hydroxyl group, a halo group, or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl or alkoxy group;
- R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are independently present or absent and when present independently represent hydrogen or a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- or
- R4 together with R3 or R5 form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or heterocycloalkyl group;
- R7 is a substituted or unsubstituted lower alkyl;
- and
- dashed bonds are independently present or absent, thereby treating the subject's cystic fibrosis.
