Design, Synthesis and Structure-activity Relationships of Pyridoquinazolinecarboxamides as RNA Polymerase I Inhibitors

This invention describes a set of novel small molecules that inhibit RNA polymerase I. RNA polymerase I (Pol I) governs the transcription of ribosomal RNAs, which are needed for building and function of the ribosomes. These ribosynthetic activities are greatly increased in cancer cells, and Pol I transcription rate is commonly deregulated in human cancers....

Screening Method to Identify Scleroderma Immune Responses with Anti-cancer Activity, and Induction of such Immune Responses for Cancer Therapy

Unmet NeedEpidemiological studies have shown that patients with scleroderma, a type of autoimmune rheumatic disease affecting the skin and connective tissues, have an increased risk of developing cancer relative to the general population. The exact etiology of scleroderma is still unknown. The Scleroderma Foundation estimates about 100,000 to 300,000...
