摘要:
The use of screening assays based on the role of human stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 ("hSCD1") in human diseases, disorders or conditions relating to serum levels of triglyceride, VLDL, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, or production of secretions from mucous membranes, monounsaturated fatty acids, wax esters, and the like, is disclosed. Also disclosed are conventions useful in the prevention and/or treatment of such diseases.
摘要:
The response of a patient with an enteropathic disease to therapy, particularly a candidate therapy in a clinical trial setting, is assessed by detecting the ability of the patient to metabolize an orally administered CYP3A substrate. The CYP3A metabolism may be monitored in a variety of ways. Conveniently, the appearance of a metabolite of the CYP3A substrate is detected in a patient sample over a period of time following oral administration, e.g. in urine, plasma, breath, saliva, etc. The CYP3A substrate is optionally labeled, e.g. with an isotopic, fluorescent, etc. label.

This invention relates, e.g., to a method for predicting the prognosis, the likelihood of metastasis in, or the desirability of administering an aggressive therapy to, a subject with colorectal cancer, comprising determining, in a sample from the subject, the level of phosphorylation compared to a positive and/or negative reference standard, of one or more of: (a) AKT (S473); (b) BAD (S l 12); (c) cABL (T735); (d) ERK (T42/44); (e) MARCKS (S 152- 156); (0 p38MAPK (T l 80- 182): (g) STAT l (Y701 ); (h) PTEN (S380); (i) EGFR (Y992); (j) PAK 1 /2 (S l 19/204); or (k) PKC zeta/lambda (T410-403); or the total amount of (1) COX-2 protein; wherein if the level of phosphorylation of one or more of a-i or the total amount of COX-2 protein (1) is elevated compared to the negative reference standard, and/or i f the level of phosphorylation of j or k is decreased compared to the positive reference standard, the subject has poor prognosis, is likely to undergo metastasis, and/or is a good candidate for aggressive therapy. Also described are methods for treating subjects likely to develop metastatic colorectal carcinoma, and pharmaceutical compositions and kits for implementing methods of the invention.
摘要:
A method is provided for selecting an analgesic regime for treatment of a patient. In the method, a body fluid sample from the patient is assayed for the presence of a metabolite produced by metabolism of a prodrug. If the metabolite is present in the body fluid sample this indicates that a suitable analgesic regime for the patient should comprise administration of at least one analgesic agent selected from the group consisting of: codeine and tramadol. If the metabolite is absent from the body fluid sample indicates that a suitable analgesic regime for the patient should comprise administration of an analgesic agent selected from the group consisting of: dihydrocodeine; buprenorphine and propoxyphene. The invention also provides a kit for selecting an analgesic regime for a patient. The kit comprises means for assaying for the presence of a metabolite produced by metabolism of a prodrug and instructions for using the provided means to perform the method as described above.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for establishing the sensitivity of tumours to capecitabin and to a test kit according to patent application DE 10 2006 037 158.5. The object of the invention is to find further substances in the tumour tissue that make it possible to establish the responsiveness of a human solid tumour to further medicaments. It has been found that this object can be achieved by means of identification of VEGF receptors and/or EGF receptors for the preparation of a treatment with medicaments targeted at them.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have been developed to human cytochrome P450 2C8/9 (CYP2C8/9) by the fusion of myeloma tumour cells with isolated B-lymphocytes from spleens of mice immunised with baculovirus-expressed human CYP2C9; the MAbs for CYP2C9 are very powerful inhibitors of CYP2C8/9 activity and stray binders of the enzymes on Western blot and exhibit no cross-reactivity towards any of the other P450 subfamily members; based on these features the MAbs are useful tools for measuring CYP2C8/9 and assessing the role of CY2C8/9 in the metabolism of various compounds.
摘要:
The invention relates to an analysis method for determining a functional parameter of an organ of a human or animal individual by measuring the 13CO2 content in the air exhaled by the individual to which a substrate has been administered the reaction of which in the body of the individual enriches the air exhaled by the individual with 13CO2. The method is characterized by using a measuring device, the maximum reaction rate of the substrate in the body of the individual being determined via a change of the measured 13CO2 content in the air exhaled by the individual using zero-order enzyme kinetics. The invention also relates to an aqueous methacetin solution for use in said analysis method, the pH of the solution being greater 7.0. The invention also relates to a face mask (1) for use in the inventive method for separating the exhaled air from the air inhaled by an individual. Said face mask comprises a face mask body (2) and an air cushion (3) encircling the face mask body. Said air cushion is filled with a gas and establishes a substantially gas-tight contact between the face of the individual and the face mask (1) placed on the face of the individual so that the air required by the individual for breathing and the air exhaled by the individual has to flow essentially completely through the face mask (1). At least one exhalation valve (5) and at least one inhalation valve (4) are integrated into the face mask and allow a flow of inhaled and exhaled air through the face mask. The invention finally relates to a diagnostic method for determining the functional parameters of an organ of a human or animal individual.
