The invention provides the combination use of antisense oligomers targeting androgen receptor mRNA and androgen receptor binding inhibitors that reduce androgen receptor activity for the treatment of androgen receptor related medical disorders, such as cancers, particularly prostate cancers and breast cancers.

The invention provides a novel recombinant polypeptide that comprises a nucleic acid binding element and a hairpin motif that selectively binds to a neurotrophin receptor. The recombinant polypeptide may be used for neurotrophin receptor mediated delivery of nucleic acid, including therapeutic DNA, bound to the recombinant polypeptide. In one embodiment, the hairpin motif is a hairpin motif of a neurotrophin, such as nerve growth factor, brain derived neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin 3 and neurotrophin 4 / 5. The hairpin motif is also a neurotrophin agonist and therefore may be used to treat any disorder responsive to neurotrophin treatment, such as neurological disorders and tumour. In one embodiment the agonist comprises a hairpin motif that selectively binds to a neurotrophin receptor and a positively charged binding domain which is believed to enhance receptor binding by binding to negatively charged cell membrane.

The present invention relates to glucagon receptor polypeptide antagonists which inhibit the binding of the hormone glucagon to its receptor. More particularly, the present invention relates to high affinity glucagon receptor antibodies or Fab fragments thereof that inhibit binding of glucagon to its receptor and their use in the treatment or prevention of type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) and related disorders in mammalian species.

The present invention relates to bispecific antibodies comprising a first antigen binding site specific for a death receptor and a second antigen binding site specific for a second antigen, methods for their production, pharmaceutical compositions containing said antibodies, and uses thereof.

The present invention provides cycloalkylfused indole, benzothiophene, benzofuran, and indene derivatives, and methods for using them to, for example, treat, prevent and / or ameliorate central nervous system diseases by antagonizing 5-HT1A receptors and modulating serotonin levels.

Disclosed herein are compounds of Formula I,or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, amide, ester, or prodrug thereof. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting an activity of a monoamine receptor comprising contacting the monoamine receptor or a system containing the monoamine receptor with an effective amount of one or more of the compounds of Formula I. Disclosed are also methods of inhibiting an activation of a monoamine receptor comprising contacting the monoamine receptor or a system containing the monoamine receptor with an effective amount of one or more of the compounds of Formula I. Furthermore, methods of treating psychotic disease using a compound of Formula I are disclosed.

The invention provides a medicine structurally containing a liver-targeting specific ligand and a thyroxine receptor agonist. The liver-targeting specific ligand and the thyroxine receptor agonist areconnected by branched chains, connectors and connecting chains to form a novel medicine structure. Thyroxine receptors (TRs) are divided into two subtypes, namely TR-alpha and TR-beta, wherein the TR-beta is mainly expressed in the liver, and the TR-alpha is mainly expressed in the heart, the nervous system and the like. In some embodiments, the medicine provided by the invention is expected to have a liver-targeting effect and can specifically bring the thyroxine receptor agonist into the liver so as to prevent the thyroxine receptor agonist from entering the heart and other tissues, so thatside effects triggered by the effect of the thyroxine receptor agonist on the other tissues can be avoided and the therapeutic effect of the medicine on treatment of lipid metabolism disorders and related complications is maintained.

A compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof, comprising (i) a CB1 receptor mediating scaffold conjugated to (ii) a second therapeutic scaffold.

The invention relates to combinations of TNFa antagonists with VEGF antagonists for use in treating diseases of the eye, and provides antigen-binding proteins which bind to TNFa or a TNFa receptor and / or VEGF or a VEGF receptor.
