COUMARIN DERIVATIVES AND METHODS OF USE IN TREATING CYSTIC FIBROSIS, CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE, AND MISFOLDED PROTEIN DISORDERS.

摘要

Novel CFTR corrector compounds that are effective in rescuing halide efflux, delF508-CFTR protein processing, and apical functional chloride ion transport in a cell are provided. Also provided are methods for treating protein folding disorders (e.g., cystic fibrosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases). The methods include administering a CFTR corrector compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. Methods of rescuing halide efflux in a cell, correcting a processing defect of a delF508-CFTR protein in a cell, and correcting functional delF508-CFTR chloride channels in a cell are also provided.
