The present invention discloses an application of pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin represented by formulas (I) to (XIII) for the preparation of a medicine for preventing or treating AMPK-mediated diseases including fatty liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, respiratory disease, diabetic complications and polycystic kidney disease. The compounds of formula (I) to (XIII) are especially usefulfor nonalcoholic simple fatty liver, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis-induced cirrhosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, chronic obstructive Pulmonary diseases, asthma,idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, allergic rhinitis, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy, diabetic ulcers, and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing and treating the AMPK-mediated diseases of the present invention comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of the formula (I) to (XIII) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a solvate thereof as an active ingredient and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Novobiocin analogues are useful in methods of treating, inhibiting, and/or preventing cyst formation in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) in a subject. The disclosure provides methods of treating ADPKD comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a coumarin-3-carboxamide novobiocin analogue. Accordingly, the method can include administering a novobiocin analogue in a therapeutically effective amount for reducing levels of mTOR pathway phosphoproteins P-mTOR, P-Akt and P-S6K, or combinations thereof. Further, the method can include administering a novobiocin analogue in a therapeutically effective amount for reducing levels of Hsp-90 client proteins CFTR, ErbB2, c-Raf and Cdk4, or combinations thereof.

The present invention is directed to imidazolyl derivatives of the formula:

where the substituents are defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The derivatives bind selectively to the somatostatin subtype receptors and elicit either an agonist or antagonist effect from the somatostatin subtype receptors. The derivatives are useful for treating a variety of diseases including acromegaly, restenosis, Crohn's disease, systemic sclerosis, external and internal pancreatic pseudocysts and ascites, VIPoma, nesidoblastosis, hyperinsulinism, gastrinoma, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, diarrhea, AIDS related diarrhea, chemotherapy related diarrhea, scleroderma, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, pancreatitis, small bowel obstruction, gastroesophageal reflux, duodenogastric reflux, Cushing's Syndrome, gonadotropinoma, hyperparathyroidism, Graves' Disease, diabetic neuropathy, Paget's disease, polycystic ovary disease, cancer, cancer cachexia, hypotension, postprandial hypotension, panic attacks, GH secreting adenomas or TSH secreting adenomas.

An object of the present invention is to provide a combination drug that has remarkably excellent preventive and/or therapeutic effects on polycystic kidney disease. The present invention provides a drug for preventing and/or treating polycystic kidney disease comprising a combination of tolvaptan or a prodrug thereof with a somatostatin derivative, and a method for treating polycystic kidney disease using this drug.

The invention relates to the technical field of medicine, in particular to application of EZH2 (enhancer of zeste homolog 2) in the preparation of drugs to prevent or treat polycystic kidney disease.It is discovered herein that an EZH2 inhibitor can inhibit the proliferation of cyst cells by inducing the apoptosis of polycystic kidney disease cyst lining epithelial cells and regulating cell cycle, and can protect the renal function by inhibiting the growth of renal cysts and enlargement of renal size. It is indicated that EZH2 can act as a novel target for autosomal dominant polycystic kidneydisease and is very significant to the treatment of polycystic kidney disease; the EZH2 inhibitor can be used to develop new pilot compounds to prevent or treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and can also be used to prepare drugs to prevent or treat autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

The present invention is directed toward methods for treating, inhibiting the progression of or eradicating polycystic kidney disease in a mammal in need thereof by providing a cMET inhibitor.

The present invention is directed to cyclic peptides of formula (I): X-A¹-cyclo(D-Cys-A³-A⁴-Lys-A⁶-A⁷)-A⁸-Y, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The peptides bind selectively to the somatostatin subtype receptor type-5 and elicit an agonist effect from the somatostatin subtype receptors. The peptides are useful for treating a variety of diseases, including Cushings Syndrome, gonadotropinoma, hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, VIPoma, nesidioblastosis, hyperinsulinism, gastrinoma, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, hypersecretory diarrhea related to AIDS and other conditions, irritable bowel syndrome, pancreatitis, Crohn's Disease, systemic sclerosis, thyroid cancer, psoriasis, hypotension, panic attacks, sclerodoma, small bowel obstruction, gastroesophageal reflux, duodenogastric reflux, Graves' Disease, polycystic ovary disease, upper gastrointestinal bleeding, pancreatic pseudocysts, pancreatic ascites, leukemia, meningioma, cancer cachexia, acromegaly, restenosis, hepatoma, lung cancer, melanoma, inhibiting the accelerated growth of a solid tumor, decreasing body weight, treating insulin resistance, Syndrome X, prolonging the survival of pancreatic cells, fibrosis, hyperlipidemia, hyperamylinemia, hyperprolactinemia and prolactinemia.

Provided herein are methods for treating, preventing, or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a polycystic disease in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of vitamins C and K.

Provided herein are methods for the treatment of poly-cystic kidney disease, including autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, using modified oligonucleotides targeted to miR-17.

Agents which increase the levels of human insulin-like growth factor-1 binding protein (h-ICFBP-1), such as an estrogen, are used in conjunction with a gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue in the treatment of PCOD and associated infertility.
