摘要:
A combination therapy is described comprising the CYP-metabolized compound Simvastatin and the growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) analogue (hexenoyl trans-3)hGRF(l-44)NH2 (tesamorelin), for the treatment of HIV- associated lipodystrophy. Human growth hormone may modulate cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity. Therefore, the potential impact of tesamorelin on CYP3A activity was investigated by examining its effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of simvastatin ( a CYP3A-substrate), a drug that is potentially administered concomitantly with tesamorelin. This study showed that the impact of tesamorelin on CYP3 A activity appears to be minimal. Simvastatin may be co-administered with tesamorelin, without changing the dosing regimen.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of porcine platelet-extract containing matured growth factors, which comprises the steps of: a) centrifuging whole porcine blood at about 1000 g to about 5000 g to isolate the platelets from the platelet-rich-plasma; b) resuspending the isolated platelets of step a) in Plasma-Lyte A and centrifuging to concentrate the platelets; c) washing the concentrated platelets of step b); d) lyophilizing the washed platelets of step c); whereby causing lysis of the platelets and producing the platelet extract in optimal amount.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for closing cutaneous wounds without sutures, which comprises a pair of three-dimensionally flexible strips adopted to be positioned on each side of a wound and formed of a plurality of laterally spaced apart elongated anchoring members extending side-by-side in succession and transversely of the wound and being interconnected in a three-dimensionally flexible manner to follow the lips of an open wound. Each of the anchoring members has on the underside thereof an adhesive surface for adhesion directly or indirectly to the skin of a patient, and includes at an inner end thereof a thread receiving and retaining portion, whereby a thread can be engaged lace-wise through the anchoring members of both strips so as to draw the anchoring members of one strip towards the anchoring members of the other strip in such a way so as to close in a constant tensiometric way the open wound extending between the two strips with the lips of the wound being equidistant along the entire length thereof.
摘要:
Stabilized solid and liquid pharmaceutical formulations comprising a GRF molecule as active ingredient, such as GRF analogs including those comprising an N-terminal-attached hydrophobic moiety, such as [trans-3-hexenoyl]hGHRH (1-44) amide, are disclosed. The formulation comprises a GRF molecule or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a β- cyclodextrin which is not conjugated to the GRF molecule or salt thereof. Also disclosed is the use of the formulation for the treatment of various conditions, methods of preparing the formulation, as well as kits containing it. Methods of stabilizing (e.g., with respect to chemical stability) such GRF molecules, as well as methods of inhibiting their deamidation at Asn 8 , are also disclosed.

A combination therapy is described comprising the protease inhibitor Ritonavir and the growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) analogue (hexenoyl trans-3)hGRF(1-44)NH 2 (TH9507), for the treatment of HIV- associated lipodystrophy. Human growth hormone may modulate cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity. Therefore, the potential impact of tesamorelin on CYP3A activity was investigated by examining its effect on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of ritonavir (a CYP3 A-inhibitor), a drug that is potentially administered concomitantly with tesamorelin. This study showed that the impact of tesamorelin on CYP3A activity appears to be minimal. Ritonavir may be co-administered with tesamorelin, without changing the dosing regimen.
摘要:
A GPCR-like protein is described, as well as inhibitory/antagonistic compounds and compositions comprising such inhibitors/antagonists of the protein. Such compounds may be used for treating elevated intraocular pressure and conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, such as glaucoma.
