摘要:
The present invention pertains to novel treatments of neuropathic pain; in particular chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathic pain (CIPNP). The invention provides antagonists cytochrome P450 epoxygenases (CYP), and more specifically antagonists of CYP2J2, as therapeutics for use in the treatment of neuropathic pain such as CIPNP. CYP2J2 antagonists were identified to alleviate CIPNP in-vivo, and therefore are provided additionally in combination with chemotherapeutics for the treatment of diseases such as cancer or other proliferative disorders. The CYP2J2 antagonists reduce chemotherapeutic induced pain and therefore allow for a higher dosing of the chemotherapeutic during cancer treatment. In addition the invention relates to the use of CYP2J2 agonists, or metabolites of CYP2J2, for sensitizing TRPV1. In this context the invention proposes to use combinations of CYP2J2 agonist or metabolites and transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) agonists to treat disorders that respond to TRPV1 agonists, such as neuropathic pain.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a method for the in-vitro or ex-vivo expansion of immune cells using a histone acetyl transferase (HAT) modulator as additive in the cell culture medium during the expansion procedure. Immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells, T cells or cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells are used in adoptive cell therapies for the injection into patients suffering from malignant cancer diseases such as leukemia. Cells expanded using the method of the invention were superior proliferative and viable. Further provided by the invention is a cell culture medium comprising the HAT modulator of the invention as well as cell populations obtained using the method of the invention.

The present invention pertains to a new compound E)-2-(5-((4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-6-yl)methoxy)-2-((4-(trifluoromethyl) benzyl)oxy)-benzylidene) hexanoic acid (MTTB), and its derivatives. The compounds of the invention are useful as selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) antagonists and are indicated for the use in the treatment of immune related diseases such as systemic inflammation, sepsis and septic shock.
摘要:
The present invention relates to antagonists of the expression and/or the function of the micro RNA miRNA-29 for use in the prevention and/or treatment of aortic aneurysms and/or plaque destabilization in atherosclerosis. Further disclosed is a method for the identification of miRNA-29 antagonists, a pharmaceutical composition comprising said miRNA-29 antagonists and a method for preventing and treating age-related aortic aneurysm formation and/or plaque destabilization in atherosclerosis in a subject in need of such a treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of nucleic acid molecules coding for a bacterial xylose isomerase (XI), preferably coming from Clostridium phytofermentans , for reaction/metabolization, particularly fermentation, of recombinant microorganisms of biomaterial containing xylose, and particularly for the production of bioalcohols, particularly bioethanol, by means of xylose fermenting yeasts. The present invention further relates to cells, particularly eukaryotic cells, which are transformed utilizing a nucleic acid expression construct which codes for a xylose isomerase, wherein the expression of the nucleic acid expression construct imparts to the cells the capability to directly isomerize xylose into xylulose. Said cells are preferably utilized for reaction/metabolization, particularly fermentation, of biomaterial containing xylose, and particularly for the production of bioalcohols, particularly bioethanol. The present invention also relates to methods for the production of bioethanol, and to methods for the production of further metabolization products, comprising the metabolization of media containing xylose.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for removing material from solids, especially for microstructuring and cutting, by liquid jet-guided laser etching, the removed material and non-reacted etching components being highly recoverable. The method according to the invention allows high purity silicon being either recovered in polycrystalline form or being deposited on other substrates in the same process chain by epitaxy.
摘要:
New compounds of the general formula: Xm-G-Cln are described as well as methods for their production. These constitute multivalent chelator-compounds with an affinity-tag binding to metal-chelator-complexes which can selectively modify and/or immobilize target molecules by a multitude of probes or functional units.
