摘要:
The present invention describes methods for inhibition angiogenesis in tissues using organic peptidomimetic αvβ3 antagonists, and particularly for inhibiting angiogenesis in inflamed tissues and in tumor tissues and metastases using therapeutic compositions containing αvβ3 antagonists. The antagonists are organic compounds having a basic group and an acidic group spaced from one another by a distance in the range of about 10 Angstroms to about 100 Angstroms, as described in detail herein.
摘要:
The present invention describes methods for inhibiting angiogenesis in tissues using vitronectin αvβ5 antagonists. The αvβ5-mediated angiogenesis is correlated with exposure to cytokines including vascular endothelial growth factor, transforming growth factor-α and epidermal growth factor. Inhibition of αvβ5-mediated angiogenesis is particularly preferred in vascular endothelial ocular neovascular diseases, in tumor growth and in inflammatory conditions, using therapeutic compositions containing αvβ5 antagonists.

摘要:
The invention provides nanostructures or products of manufacture for use as ex vivo or in vivo composition (e.g., a drug, or a therapeutic, diagnostic or imaging reagent) delivery vehicles. In one aspect, the invention provides nanoparticles comprising several compartments which in unison function as a composite nanostructure. In one embodiment, the nanoparticles of the invention comprise a combination of polymer core/lipid bilayer interface which incorporate covalently attached lipid-vascular targeting ligands. These composite nanoparticles can deliver highly effective and selective payloads for diagnostic, prophylactic or therapeutic applications.
摘要:
In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods for regulating or modulating RAF kinases. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides methods for ameliorating, preventing and/or treating diseases, infections and/or conditions having unwanted, pathological or aberrant cell proliferation, or that are responsive to inhibition or arrest of cell growth, by administration of an allosteric RAF inhibitor and/or any agent which prevents localization of RAF to mitotic spindles or mid-bodies.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for treating tumors and tumor metastases in a mammal comprising administering, to a mammal in need of treatment, a therapeutic amount of an antagonist sufficient to inhibit angiogenesis in combination with a therapeutic amount of anti-tumor immunotherapeutic agent, such as a anti-tumor antigen antibody/cytokine fusion protein having a cytokine and a recombinant immunoglobulin polypeptide chain sufficient to elicit a cytokine-specific biological response.
摘要:
Myocardial infarction in a mammal is treated by administering to the mammal a therapeutically effective amount of a chemical Src family tyrosine kinase protein inhibitor and the use of such inhibitor compounds for the preparation of a medicament for treating myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction can be prevented by administering to the mammal a prophylactic amount of the inhibitor. The inhibitor preferably is an inhibitor of Src protein selected from the group consisting of a pyrazolopyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a macrocyclic dienone class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, a 4-anilino-3-quinolinecarbonitrile class Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and a mixture thereof. The Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitors can be used to prepare medicaments for the treatment of myocardial infarction. Also disclosed are articles of manufacture containing a chemical Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitor.
摘要:
αvβ3 Integrin receptor targeting liposomes comprise a cationic amphiphile such as a cationic lipid, a neutral lipid, and a targeting lipid. The targeting lipid includes a non-peptidic αvβ3 integrin antagonist.
摘要:
The present invention describes methods for modulating angiogenesis in tissues using Src protein, modified Src protein, and nucleic acids encoding for such. Particularly the invention describes methods for inhibiting angiogenesis using an inactive Src protein, or nucleic acids encoding therefor, or for potentiating angiogenesis using an active Src protein, or nucleic acids encoding therefor. The invention also describes the use of gene delivery systems for providing nucleic acids encoding for the Src protein, or modified forms thereof.
摘要:
The invention provides compositions, e.g., small molecules, that disrupt the activity of protein kinases, including constitutively activated protein kinases, such as kinases constitutively activated through mutations, and kinases in their native inactivated state, and methods for making and using them. In one aspect, compositions of the invention bind a protein kinase in its inactive conformation involving the conserved asparagine-phenylalanine-glycine residue motif, or “Asp-Phe-Gly” or “DFG” motif, of the activation loop in the allosteric binding site. The small molecule protein kinase inhibitors of the invention comprise or are derivatives or analogs of oxadiazoles, thiadiazoles, oxazoles, thiazoles, arylamides, quinolones, pyrazoles, pyrazolones, imides, pyrolles, imidazoles and/or triazoles.
