摘要:
The present disclosure relates to methods for detecting and measuring the activity of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in solution (e.g. serum, plasma, cell culture media, aqueous solution) with fluorescent sterol substrates. The present disclosure also relates to a method for evaluating efficacy of a therapeutic agent for stimulating LCAT and for determining endogenous LCAT activity in a patient. Also disclosed are kits that are used to carry out the aforementioned methods and methods.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for treating conditions characterized by anemia or red blood cells dysfunction by administering an agent that increases the level of endogenous LCAT or LCAT activity. Additionally disclosed are methods of treating conditions wherein red blood cells have reduced function in relation to deformability, oxygenation, increased adhesion and aggregability, reduced nitric oxide function, or decreased life-span, increased free cholesterol, or abnormal phospholipid content. Also disclosed are methods for treating conditions characterized by an abnormal concentration of free cholesterol in red blood cells and methods of normalizing the free cholesterol content of red blood cells.

摘要:
Disclosed are compositions and methods for treating conditions characterized by low HDL-CE which can lead to decreased delivery of cholesteryl ester to steroidogenic tissues, reducing the organ's ability to produce steroids especially during periods of demand, stress and or systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
摘要:
Certain compounds have been synthesized and found to be effective inhibitors of phospholipase A.sub.2 (PLA.sub.2), and thereby useful in the treatment of intestinal cholesterol absorption and the disease states arising therefrom, such as hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of treating atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, other cardiovascular diseases and related diseases, such as diabetes, using a serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) inhibitor. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits that comprise a serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) inhibitor, optionally with another pharmaceutical agent.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of treating sebaceous gland disorders comprising administering to a patient in need of said treatment an effective amount of a compound named [(2,4,6-triisopropyl-phenyl)-acetyl]-sulfamic acid 2,6-diiso-propyl-phenyl ester or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Particularly, methods of treating sebaceous gland disorders are provided wherein said disorders are selected from seborrhea, acnes, perioral dermatitis, rosacea, and corticosteroid-induced acneiform lesions. The present invention provides methods of treating acnes such as, for example, chloracne, ciliaris acne, cystic acne, keratosa acne, vulgaris acne, senile acne, and medicinal acne.
