摘要:
A method for the identification and treatment of pathogenic microorganism infections by inhibiting one or more enzymes in a metabolic pathway by inhibiting the conversion of substrate to produce the penultimate or ultimate product particularly by inhibiting the activity of one or more of the enzymes in the pathway, and compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting infections of pathogenic microorganisms by inhibiting such enzymes.
摘要:
Containers for incrementally dispensing pressurized contents are described. The containers comprise a vessel suited to contain pressurized contents, a port integral with the vessel and through which pressurized contents contained in the vessel can be released from the vessel, preferably incrementally in approximately equal amounts, and a measuring device disposed in the vessel. The measuring device senses ambient conditions in the vessel and, directly or with other components, indicates, for example, the amount of pressurized contents remaining in the vessel and displaying it to an observer; methods for comparing the amount of contents actually released from the vessel compared to a theoretical constant; and methods for time logging (alone or in conjunction with the logging of other data) the actuation of the dispensing valve for comparison to a prescribed method. Devices for incrementally dispensing pressurized contents from such containers are also described. Such devices further comprise a metering value for dispensing pressurized contents from the vessel. In preferred embodiments, each actuation of the metering valve results in release of a pre-determined quantity of the vessel contents. For example, in embodiments wherein the pressurized contents comprise a therapeutic composition, the instant devices include improved Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) for delivery of predetermined doses of a therapeutic composition to a patient, wherein the MDIs provide for sensing of the amount, for example, of the therapeutic composition remaining in the vessel after each actuation of the metering valve.

摘要:
It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of pharmaceutically-acceptable salts of nitrite is useful in the regulation of the cardiovascular system. It has also been surprisingly discovered that nitrite is reduced to nitric oxide in vivo, and that the nitric oxide produced thereby is an effective vasodilator. These effects surprisingly occur at nitrite doses that do not produce clinically significant methemoglobinemia. These discoveries now enable methods to prevent and treat conditions associated with the cardiovascular system, for example, high blood pressure, pulmonary hypertension, cerebral vasospasm and tissue ischemia-reperfusion injury. These discoveries also provide methods to increase blood flow to tissues, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension.

摘要:
It has been surprisingly discovered that administration of nitrite to subjects causes a reduction in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to tissues. The effect is particularly beneficial, for example, to tissues in regions of low oxygen tension. This discovery provides useful treatments to regulate a subject's blood pressure and blood flow, for example, by the administration of nitrite salts. Provided herein are methods of administering a pharmaceutically-acceptable nitrite salt to a subject, for treating, preventing or ameliorating a condition selected from: (a) ischemia-reperfusion injury (e.g., hepatic or cardiac or brain ischemia-reperfusion injury); (b) pulmonary hypertension (e.g., neonatal pulmonary hypertension); or (c) cerebral artery vasospasm.
