摘要:
The invention provides a combination treatment for ischemia conditions in or otherwise affecting the CNS, such as stroke. The treatment involves administration of a PSD-95 inhibitor and performing reperfusion therapy (e.g., by administration of tPA). Administering a PSD-95 inhibitor in combination with reperfusion therapy increases the efficacy of the reperfusion therapy and/or slows the decline in efficacy of reperfusion therapy with time after onset of ischemia thus extending the window in which reperfusion therapy can be administered.

The invention provides methods of delivering pharmacologic agents linked to an internalization peptide, in which an inflammatory response inducible by the internalization peptide is inhibited by co-administration of an anti-inflammatory or by linking the internalization peptide to biotin or similar molecule. Such methods are premised in part on the results described in the examples whereby administration of a pharmacological agent linked to tat at high dosages is closely followed by an inflammatory response, which includes mast cell degranulation, histamine release and the typical sequelae of histamine release, such as redness, heat, swelling, and hypotension.

The invention provides uses of autophagocytosis inducing compounds for reducing serum levels of triglycerides and VLDL and the preparation of medicaments. The invention also provides the use of autophagocytosis inducing compounds for treating hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipoproteinemia, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or diabetes, insulin resistance, hemodialysis, glycogen storage disease type I, polycystic ovary syndrome, combination thereof. The invention further provides methods of identifying compounds which modulate autophagocytosis.

The invention relates to a supramolecular aggregate of formula (I) wherein A is an active substance, n is an integer from 4 to 16 and X is a core having at least four binding amino group. In a preferred embodiment the maleimido-funzionalized core X is selected from PWT1, PWT2 and PWT3. The supramolecular aggregates can be used in the field of drugs, vaccines, as ligands for GPCR, i.e. agonists as well as antagonist, as antibiotics and as diagnostics eventually in complex with radionuclides.
摘要:
Agents, methods, and devices for affecting nerve function are described. One embodiment of an agent includes a cardiac glycoside, an ACE inhibitor, and an NSAID. The agent may be delivered locally in a site-specific manner to a targeted nerve or portion of a nerve. For example, the agent may be delivered locally to the renal nerves to impair their function and treat hypertension. One embodiment of a delivery device includes one or more needle housings supported by a balloon. A delivery needle is slidably disposed within a needle lumen of each needle housing.
