Abstract:
The present invention aims at converting factor IX into a molecule with enhanced activity which provides an alternative for replacement therapy and gene therapy for hemophilia B. Using recombinant techniques, factor IX with replacement at positions 86, 277, and 338 exhibits better clotting activity than recombinant wild type factor IX.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an anti-angiogenic protein comprising a mutant kringle 1-5 (K1-5) fragment of plasminogen, wherein a set of mutation position is selected from the group consisting of positions 227, 284 and 470 of SEQ ID NO. 6, and wherein the position 227 is replaced with an amino acid residue without forming glycosylation, the position 284 is replaced with an amino acid residue without forming glycosylation, and the position 470 is replaced with Arg. The present invention also provides a nucleic acid having a sequence encoding said anti-angiogenic protein. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting angiogenesis comprising said anti-angiogenic protein or said nucleic acid. The present invention also provides a method for treatment of an angiogenesis associated disease or disorder, comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of said pharmaceutical composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for providing bactericide or bacteriostatic, especially for treating disease due to bacterial infection. The method comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of dextromethorphan or naloxone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or an analog thereof. The compound is applied to skin or mucosal surface of the patient. The invention also relates to a method of treating inflammation caused by suppressing secretion of TNF-α, IL-6, or MCP-1 from macrophage comprising administering a patient in need of such treatment a therapeutically effective amount of NADPH oxidase inhibitor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a composition for promoting angiogenesis, for controlling DNA synthesis of a cell, and for controlling chemotactic motility of a cell. The invention also relates to a method for treating ischemia diseases.
Abstract:
CD93 functional domains for use in treating osteoporosis. A method of alleviating, reducing, suppressing, and/or treating an osteoclast-related bone disease is disclosed. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of an isolated recombinant protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to human Cluster of Differentiation 93 protein domain 1 to a subject in need thereof, the recombinant protein lacking amino acid residues 1 to 21, transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains of the human CD93 (SEQ ID NO: 3) and having a total length of no more than 559 amino acid residues. In one embodiment, the osteoclast-related bone disease is at least one selected from the group consisting of osteoporosis, postmenopausal osteoporosis, osteopenia, bone loss, inflammatory bone loss, and any combination thereof. In another embodiment, the recombinant protein comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 2.
Abstract:
A method for pharmacological prevention and suppression of aortic aneurysm development is disclosed. The method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant thrombomodulin to a subject in need thereof. The recombinant thrombomodulin prevents formation and/or retards progression of an aortic aneurysm.
Abstract:
A method for treating ischemia that would benefit from angiogenesis is disclosed. The method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising: a) a fragment of human thrombomodulin in a therapeutically effective amount; and b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier; wherein the fragment comprises the amino acids Ala242 to Ser515 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
