Abstract:
Novel substituted pyrazolidinones have been found to exhibit significant binding to cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors and gastrin receptors in the brain and/or peripheral sites such as the pancreas, stomach, and ileum. The pyrazolidinones are CCK and gastrin receptor antagonists and find therapeutic application in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders, central nervous system disorders and for appetite regulation in warm-blood vertebrates. Pharmaceutical formulations for such indications are described.
Abstract:
A method is provided for treating a susceptible neoplasm in mammals which comprises administering to a mammal in need of said treatment an effective amount for treating the neoplasm of the compound N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-1-butanesulfonamide or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein said neoplasm is selected from the group consisting of ovarian, non-small cell lung, gastric, pancreatic, renal cell, breast, colorectal, small-cell lung, melanoma, head and neck, Kaposi's sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed generally to stable formulations of a TLR agonist preferably a TLR7 or a TLR8 agonist, for use in the treatment of cancer, preferably solid tumors and lymphomas. Specifically, the present invention is directed to stable formulations of up to 50 mg/ml of a TLR agonist which comprise a cyclodextrin.
Abstract:
Tags and linkers specifically designed for a wide variety of nucleic acid reactions are disclosed, which are suitable for a wide variety of nucleic acid reactions wherein separation of nucleic acid molecules based upon size is required.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for detecting the binding of a first member to a second member of a ligand pair, comprising the steps of (a) combining a set of first tagged members with a biological sample which may contain one or more second members, under conditions, and for a time sufficient to permit binding of a first member to a second member, wherein said tag is correlative with a particular first member and detectable by non-fluorescent spectrometry, or potentiometry, (b) separating bound first and second members from unbound members, (c) cleaving the tag from the tagged first member, and (d) detecting the tag by non-fluorescent spectrometry, or potentiometry, and therefrom detecting the binding of the first member to the second member.
Abstract:
This invention provides a novel series of non-peptidyl compounds which are useful in the treatment or prevention of a physiological disorder associated with an excess of tachykinins. This invention also provides methods for the treatment of such physiological disorders as well as pharmaceutical formulations which employ these novel compounds.
