METHODS FOR TREATING DISEASES THROUGH INTERRUPTION OF PROTEIN MATURATION, COMPOUNDS THAT INHIBIT THE FUNCTION OF MOLECULAR CHAPERONES SUCH AS PROTEIN DISULFIDE ISOMERASES OR INTERFERE WITH GLYCOSYLATION, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THEM, AND SCREENING METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING THERAPEUTIC AGENTS

摘要

A method of treating an infectious disease caused by a pathogen comprisingadministering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of one or morecompounds that inhibit the function of a molecular chaperone, wherein saidcompound is other than tizoxanide or nitazoxanide.
