Abstract:
Provided are methods for treating calcium malabsorption and conditions associated with calcium malabsorption, employing the administration of a composition containing stable amorphous calcium carbonate. Further provided are methods for increasing bone mineral density in a bone metabolism associated disorders, diseases or conditions, employing the administration of said composition in combination with a bone resorption inhibitor.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions comprising amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), suitable to being administered by inhalation, and methods for their use in treating ACC-responsive diseases and conditions. Kits for preparing suspension compositions of the present invention are provided as well.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a composition including a particle, the particle includes a carbonate species of a first divalent metal and carbonate specie of a second divalent metal; wherein the particle is amorphous; wherein the first divalent metal and the second divalent metal are in an oxidation state of +2; and wherein the first divalent metal and the second divalent metal is each independently selected from: Ca, Zn, Fe, Cu, Co, Ni, Mn, Mg and Cr. Further provided is a composition including a divalent metal carbonate including any derivative thereof, and at least one stabilizing agent, wherein the divalent metal is selected from: Zn, Cu, Co, Mn, Mg, and Ni, optionally being characterized by BET between 20 and 200 m2/g. Pharmaceutical or nutraceutical compositions including the composition of particles disclosed, are also provided.
Abstract:
Stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) for treatment of several neurological, muscular and infertility diseases and conditions is provided. In particular, the stabilized ACC may be used in the treatment of axonal defects and muscular dystrophy. In addition, provided are improved methods used in assistant reproductive technology. Examples of such methods are in vitro fertilization and improvement of sperm quality. The improved IVF method, for example, comprises addition of the stabilized ACC to the cell culture medium in which the stages of fertilization and embryo development occurs.
Abstract:
The present invention provides solid compositions of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and a polyphosphate, bisphosphonate or pharmaceutical salts thereof as a stabilizer. Said stabilizers stabilizes the ACC and prevent crystallization to crystalline calcium carbonate ((′( (″) for a long period of time, even in an aqueous suspension. The invention further provides pharmaceutical composition comprising the solid ACC compositions as well their use in treating of certain diseases and conditions.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions comprising amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), suitable to being administered by inhalation, and methods for their use in treating ACC-responsive diseases and conditions. Further provided are ACC compositions suitable for buccal or sublingual administration.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods of treating a leukemia, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, wherein the method comprises administering a stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate to a person in need thereof.
