摘要:
Provided are methods of screening compounds for any aspirin-related activity other than TAFI inhibition, and also for non-inhibition of TAFI. Compounds identified by the screening methods can be used to treat, prevent or manage in a patient pain, fever, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer or an inflammatory, platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic or hemorrhagic disease or disorder. Also provided is a method of evaluating test compounds for TAFI inhibitory activity wherein the TAFI inhibitory activity of these test compounds is compared to the TAFI inhibitory activity of aspirin or its derivatives or metabolites. Further provided is a method of treating, preventing or managing in a patient, a hemorrhagic or thrombotic disease or disorder with high dose aspirin or aspirin derivatives or metabolites. Also contemplated is a method of treating, preventing or managing in a patient, pain, fever, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer or an inflammatory, platelet aggregation, fibrinolytic or hemorrhagic disease or disorder comprising administering aspirin or a derivative thereof or any other therapeutic having at least one desired therapeutic or prophylactic activity of aspirin to a patient in need thereof and administering to the patient a factor that promotes TAFIa activity, e.g. stablized TAFIa, to ameliorate one or more adverse side effects of the therapeutic. Compounds identified by the methods of the invention are also provided.

摘要:
The present invention provides novel N-substituted hydrazine bifunctional compounds, novel N-substituted hydrazone derivatives of a cytotoxic reagent incorporating the bifunctional compounds, novel conjugates containing at least one cytotoxic reagent molecule reacted with the bifunctional compound and bound to a molecule reactive with a target cell population, methods for their production, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for delivering cytotoxic reagents to a target population of cells. The hydrazone bonds of the conjugates of the invention permit the release of free cytotoxic reagent from the conjugates in the acidic external or internal environment of the target cells. The bifunctional compounds, derivatives, conjugates and methods of the invention are useful in antibody-or ligand-mediated drug delivery systems for the preferential killing of a target cell population to treat diseases such as cancers, infections and autoimmune disorders.
摘要:
The invention is directed in part to a purified form of stabilized activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa). The invention is further directed to a method of producing stabilized TAFIa. The invention is also directed to methods for therapeutic use of stabilized TAFIa such as in the treatment, prevention or management of diseases via an anti-coagulant effect. The invention is also directed to methods for therapeutic use of inhibitors of TAFIa such as in the treatment, prevention or management of diseases via a procoagulant effect. The invention is also directed to methods of diagnostic use of stabilized TAFIa such as a standard in a chromogenic or a fluorometric carboxypeptidase activity assay. The present invention is also directed to kits comprising stabilized TAFIa useful in measuring carboxypepetidase activity.
