Nucleoside phosphoramidates
Compounds containing the phosphoramidate functionality have a range of biological activities including acting as anticancer and cardioprotective agents. As phosphoric and carboxylic equivalents, phosphoramidates have been evaluated as analogues of nucleosides and oligonucleotides. Only a limited number of nucleoside phosphoramidates have been prepared and evaluated for antiviral activity. A combinatorial approach was undertaken employing screening of biologically relevant libraries for their ability to modulate biological pathways, with or without regard to specific molecular targets. This strategy is appropriate in the context of antiviral lead discovery, simultaneously identifying leads with the potential discovery of novel molecular targets (Parallel solid-phase synthesis of nucleoside phosphoramidate libraries,

## Cdk4 Inhibitors Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) play important roles in regulation of the cell cycle. In particular, D-type cyclins, which are activated by rearrangement or amplification in several tumours, associate Cdk4/6. Cyclin D-Cdk4/6 complexes phosphorylate the retinoblastoma
## Bone resorption inhibitors The osteoclast vacuolar-ATPase plays an essential role in bone resorption, and inhibition of this acid pump has been shown to inhibit bone resorption both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibitors of bone resorption are potentially useful for the treatment of osteoporosis, i.e.
Recently a number of groups have disclosed novel compounds derived from the peptidylprolyl isomerase (PPIase) inhibition domains of the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. These non-immunosuppressive small molecules, with a molecular weigh of less than 500, were found to be potent neurotrop
