摘要:
The present invention provides a method of treating edematous retinal disorders. The method comprises administration of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a hydrolysis-resistant P2Y receptor agonist to stimulate the removal of pathological extraneous fluid from the subretinal and retinal spaces and thereby reduce the accumulation of said fluid associated with retinal detachment and retinal edema. The P2Y receptor agonist can be administered with therapeutic and adjuvant agents commonly used to treat edematous retinal disorders. The pharmaceutical formulation useful in this invention comprises a P2Y receptor agonist with enhanced resistance to extracellular hydrolysis, such as dinucleoside polyphosphate compounds, or hydrolysis-resistant mononucleoside triphosphate salts. The present invention also provides P1-(2′-deoxycytidine 5′-)P4-(uridine 5′-)tetraphosphate, tetra-(alkali metal) salts such as tetrasodium, tetralithium, tetrapotassium, and mixed (tetra-alkali metal) salts. The present further provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a P1-(2′-deoxycytidine 5′-)P4-(uridine 5′-)tetraphosphate, tetra-(alkali metal) salt, in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of preventing or treating retinal degeneration arising from pathophysiological or physical conditions. The method comprises administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a purinergic P2Y receptor ligand, in an amount effective to elevate its extracellular concentration to activate retinal glial and neuronal cell surface P2Y receptors and mount a neuroprotective response. Methods of administering including intravitreal bolus and sustained administrations, transscleral delivery, topical, and systemic administrations. The pharmaceutical composition useful in this invention comprises a P2Y purinergic receptor agonist, which include uridine 5′-di-and triphosphate (UDP, UTP) and their analogs, adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP) and its analogs, cytidine 5′-di-and triphosphate (CDP, CTP) and their analogs, and dinucleoside polyphosphate compounds.

摘要:
The invention provides a method of regulating water and mucin secretions and fluid transport in the gastrointestinal tract. The invention also provides a method for treating a gastrointestinal disease in which the mucosal barrier of the gastrointestinal system is impaired. The invention additionally provides a method for correcting disorders of fluid secretion or absorption in the gastrointestinal system. The method comprises administering to a patient a pharmaceutical composition comprising a purinergic P2Y receptor agonist, in an amount effective to regulate water and mucin secretions or to correct abnormal fluid transport in the gastrointestinal tract. The pharmaceutical composition used in this invention comprises a P2Y purinergic receptor agonist such as uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP), uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP), cytidine 5′-diphosphate (CDP), cytidine 5′-triphosphate (CTP), adenosine 5′-diphosphate (ADP), adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP), and their analogs; and dinucleotide polyphosphate compounds of general Formula (IV). Said compound is prepared in an oral form, an injectable form, or a suppository form, and administered to a patient.
