Abstract: The invention provides an N-benzyl-N-arylsulfonamide derivative, which is an N-benzyl-N-arylsulfonamide compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof. The N-benzyl-N-arylsulfonamide derivative is obtained by condensing a substituted nitrobenzene with 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing aliphatic heterocycle (the ring B), reducing the nitro group to an amino group, and subjecting the amino group to reductive amination, sulfonamidation; or by subjecting a substituted nitrobenzene to nitro reduction, reductive amination and sulfonamidation, and condensing the resultant intermediate with 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing aliphatic heterocycle (the ring B). It has been experimentally demonstrated that the N-benzyl-N-arylsulfonamide derivative of the invention can specifically bind to Kv1.3 potassium channel and inhibit or decrease its activity, and is useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases caused by abnormal activation of the Kv1.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compounds of formula I The compounds are considered useful for the treatment of diseases associated with LRRK2 such as Parkinson's disease.

Abstract: The invention features compounds (e.g., macrocyclic compounds) capable of modulating biological processes, for example through binding to a presenter protein (e.g., a member of the FKBP family, a member of the cyclophilin family, or PIN1) and a target protein such as CEP250. These compounds bind endogenous intracellular presenter proteins, such as the FKBPs or cyclophilins, and the resulting binary complexes selectively bind and modulate the activity of the target protein. Formation of a tripartite complex among the presenter protein, the compound, and the target protein is driven by both protein-compound and protein-protein interactions, and both are required for modulation of target protein activity.

Abstract: FGFR3-related chondrodysplasias represent a group of rare diseases. Among them, achondroplasia, a nonlethal form of chondrodysplasia, is the most common type of dwarfism. The mutation, which produce an increase of FGFR3 function, affects many tissues, most strikingly the cartilaginous growth plate and bone in the growing skeleton, leading to a variety of manifestations and complications. In attempt to find a new therapeutic approach for FGFR3-related chondrodysplasia, the inventors purified (?)-epicatechin from T. cacao and showed that (?)-epicatechin treatment significantly increases the length of the Fgfr3Y367C/+ femurs comparing to Fgfr3+/+ femurs and improves the whole growth plate cartilage. The present invention thus relates to the use of (?)-epicatechin for the treatment of FGFR3-related chondrodysplasias.
