摘要:
Disclosed are new methods for treatment of angiogenesis-related disorders. Angiogenesis-related disorders are treated by administration of a Tie1 ectodomain-binding agent and a VEGF antagonist agent.
摘要:
The invention is based on the discovery that angiogenic vessels have heterogeneous surface charge and that cationic liposomes actually target human tumor blood vessels only in irregularly shaped patches. The invention thus features methods for delivering therapeutic compounds to angiogenic vascular endothelial surfaces using a mixture, or “cocktail”, of positively charged and neutral liposomes. The new methods can be used to target multiple regions on the same tumor vessel and/or clusters of vessels within the same tumor. Liposomes with different chemical and/or physical properties (e.g., charge, stability, solubility, diameter) can be delivered simultaneously, and can target tumor vessels and other angiogenic vessels with greater efficiency compared to cationic liposomes alone.

A combinatorial chemical library of compounds structurally related to the moenomycin class of antibiotics has the formula wherein D is a donor mono- or disaccharide, A is an acceptor monosaccharide, and P-R is a lipophosphoglycerate mimetic group. Members of the library have a glycosidic linkage between the anomeric carbon of D and the C2 carbon of A, and the D-A moiety is in turn covalently linked through the anomeric carbon of A to the P-R group. Members of the library exhibit their greatest structural diversity in terms of substitutions occurring at the C3 position of the A residue, substitutions at the C2 position of the D residue, and different P-R groups used in assembling the compounds. Members of the library are preferably synthesized by solid phase techniques involving stepwise coupling of the respective units to a support, functionalizing the A and/or D saccharides either before or after immobilizing them on the support, and cleaving the assembled compounds from the support. Preferred functionalities attached to the sugar residues are amides, carbamates, ureas, sulfonamides, substituted amines, esters, carbonates, and sulfates. Exemplary P-R groups are derivatives of homoserine, glyceric acid, salicylates and mandelic acid. Members of the library can be screened for anti-microbial activity by contacting them with a culture of microbes and monitoring the growth rate of the microbes.

Compounds which bind to selectin receptors and thus may modulate the course of inflammation, cancer and related processes by intervening with cell-cell adhesion events. Further, such compounds can be used for identification and analysis of such receptors. In this regard the invention is directed to compounds of formula (I). ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is independently H, alkyl, aryl, an aryl alkyl, alkenyl or one or more additional saccharide residues; R.sup.2 =H or OH provided that when R.sup.2 is H, R.sup.3 is OH; R.sup.3 =H or OH provided that when R.sup.3 is H, R.sup.2 is OH; X=H, SO.sub.3.sup.- or PO.sub.4.sup.- ; Y is independently H, OH, OR.sup.4 or NHCOR.sup.4, wherein R.sup.4 is alkyl, and Z is an organic acid residue. .alpha.-L-Fucose residue can be modified or replaced with suitable bioisosters or a different saccharide residue such as D-mannose. Modification of L-fucose may include replacement of each or all of the hydroxyl groups with H or OR' wherein R' can be methyl, ethyl or allyl groups.

A system and method for generating a report regarding a vascular health status of a subject being imaged using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system includes receiving a plurality of MRI datasets, each MRI dataset acquired from the a portion of the subject including a vascular structure. The process also includes analyzing the MRI datasets to identify at least one of a temporal shift and a MR signal variation between the MRI datasets, correlating the at least one of the temporal shift and the MR signal variation to a vascular health status, and generating a report indicating the vascular health status of the subject.

The present application relates to N-chlorinated cationic compounds of Formula I or a salt thereof, and associated compositions and methods of use as antimicrobial agents.
摘要:
Novel N-formyl hydroxylamine compounds of formula I: wherein R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl or cycloalkyl; R3 is hydrogen, halogen or alkoxy; R4 is pyridazinyl; n is 0 to 3; and wherein one or more of the ring nitrogen heteroatoms of said pyridazinyl is optionally oxidized and their derivatives are disclosed. These N-formyl hydroxylamine compounds inhibit peptidyl deformylase (PDF), an enzyme present in prokaryotes. The compounds are useful as antimicrobials and antibiotics. The compounds of the invention display selective inhibition of peptidyl deformylase versus other metalloproteinases such as MMPs. Methods of preparation and use of the compounds are also disclosed.
