摘要:
The invention describes novel organic nitric oxide enhancing salts of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and novel compositions comprising at least one organic nitric oxide enhancing salt of an NSAID, and, optionally, at least one nitric oxide enhancing compound and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides novel compositions and kits comprising at least one organic nitric oxide enhancing salt of an NSAID, and, optionally, at least one nitric oxide enhancing compound and/or at least one therapeutic agent. The invention also provides methods for (a) treating inflammation, pain and fever; (b) treating gastrointestinal disorders; (c) facilitating wound healing; (d) treating gastrointestinal, renal and/or respiratory toxicities resulting from the use of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory compounds; (e) treating inflammatory disease states and/or disorders; (f) treating ophthalmic disorders; (h) treating peripheral vascular diseases; (i) treating diseases resulting from oxidative stress; (j) treating endothelial dysfunctions; and (k) treating diseases caused by endothelial dysfunctions. The organic nitric oxide enhancing compounds that form salts with the NSAIDs are organic nitrates, organic nitrites, nitrosothiols, thionitrites, thionitrates, NONOates, heterocyclic nitric oxide donors and/or nitroxides. The heterocyclic nitric oxide donors are furoxans, sydnonimines, oxatriazole-5-ones and/or oxatriazole-5- imines.
摘要:
The present invention describes rapid non-invasive methods for measuring vasodilation or changes in blood flow in a patient following administration of at least one compound that donates, transfers or releases nitric oxide, elevates endogenous levels of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, stimulates endogenous synthesis of nitric oxide or is a substrate for nitric oxide synthase and/or at least one vasoactive agent. The method comprises administration of at least one compound to the patient followed by monitoring the temperature change of an area of interest using infrared thermography.
