摘要:
Compounds are described which act as calcitonin mimetics. These compounds are useful in the treatment of diseases which are associated with bone resorption. Included among the calcitonin mimetics of the present invention are substituted piperazines. The calcitonin mimetics of the present invention are also useful in libraries and in assays for the determination of calcitonin receptor activity.
摘要:
Various embodiments of statin compounds are shown to enhance the formation of bone and are thus useful in treating osteoporosis, bone fracture or deficiency, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, periodontal disease or defect, metastatic bone disease, osteolytic bone disease, post-plastic surgery, post-prosthetic joint surgery, and post-dental implantation.
摘要:
Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X in each of formulas (1) and (2) represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene, alkenylene, or alkynylene linker of 2-6 C;Y represents one or more carbocyclic or heterocyclic rings; when two or more rings are present in Y, they may optionally be fused; andR' represents a cation, H or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group of 1-6 C; andthe dotted lines represent optional .pi.-bonds,promote bone formation and are thus useful in treating osteoporosis, bone fracture or deficiency, primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, periodontal disease or defect, metastatic bone disease, osteolytic bone disease, post-plastic surgery, post-prosthetic joint surgery, and post-dental implantation. These compounds can be used in combination with other bone growth-promoting compounds and/or estrogens and/or bisphosphonates for this purpose.
摘要:
Glucagon antagonists and methods relating thereto are disclosed. The glucagon antagonists include skyrin and skyrin analogs, and serve to inhibit the stimulation of a glucagon-induced response pathway, such as the adenylate cyclase response pathway or the inositol phosphate response pathway. The glucagon antagonists may be used within therapeutic compositions to treat disease states associate with elevated glucose levels, including diabetes and hyperglycemia. The present invention also discloses a biologically pure culture of ATCC accession number 74200, as well as methods relating to the production of glucagon antagonists by cultivating the same in a nutrient medium and recovering the glucagon antagonist therefrom.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the anti-cancer activity of IL-19 polypeptide molecules. IL-19 is a cytokine involved in inflammatory processes and human disease. The present invention includes Use of IL-19 for decreasing proliferation of cervical cancer cells, treating cervical cancer, amongst other uses disclosed. IL-19 polypeptides can be administered alone, or can be fused to cytotoxic moieties, and can be administered in conjunction with radiation or chemotherapeutic agents.

摘要:
The invention provides isolated, biologically active native calcitonin mimetics and related methods. These small 16 and 17 amino acid proteins mimic the interaction of calcitonin on its receptor, and also exhibit bone resorptive inhibiting activity.
