摘要:
The invention encompasses novel compositions containing a methylation modifying compound isolated from botanical raw materials, including a fruit of the genus Coffea, and microbial raw materials, methods of making such compositions, and methods of treating or preventing human disease using such compositions. The methylation modifying compound in botanical extracts of the present invention can dramatically increase the level of methylation of PP2A, thus increasing cognitive function, particularly in persons suffering from or prone to developing Alzheimer's disease.
摘要:
Disclosed are compositions for promoting general health and well-being, comprising an extract of a botanical raw material, wherein said extract inhibits the carboxyl demethylating activity of a protein phosphatase, and methods of making and using same.

摘要:
The invention relates to methylated proteins that control protein phosphorylation, particularly phosphoesterases, such as PP2A. It relates to screening methods for determining agents that affect methylation of these proteins and thus also modulate the level of phosphorylation of phosphoproteins. It relates as well to the agents and to compositions comprising the agents. In a particular aspect in this regard the invention relates to agents that alter PP2A methylation and that thereby affect phosphorylation of phosphoproteins that play an important role in health or disease, such as the tau protein which is implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's Disease. The invention further relates to diagnostic methods based on protein methylation levels, to compositions comprising agents for affecting methylation of proteins and for controlling the phosphate complement of phosphoproteins. Additionally, the invention relates to methods for administering the agents and compositions to affect methylation of proteins physiologically and to modulate the phosphate complement of phosphoproteins. Examples in this regard include agents and compositions that affect physiological activity of PP2A and alter the phosphate complement of phosphoproteins that are altered in disease.

Among other things, the present invention provides novel compounds capable of effectively inhibiting inflammatory responses that are mediated by G-proteins or GPCRs in neutrophils, macrophages and platelets. In particular, compounds of the present invention act as inhibitors of edema, inhibitors of erythema and inhibitors of MPO (myeloperoxidase), pharmaceutical compositions containing the same compounds and the use thereof for the treatment of diseases that may benefit from edema, erythema and MPO inhibition, such as inflammation (acute or chronic), asthma, autoimmune diseases, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (e.g., emphysema, chronic bronchitis and small airways disease, etc.), inflammatory responses of the immune system, skin diseases (e.g., reducing acute skin irritation for patients suffering from rosacea, atopic dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis), irritable bowel syndrome (e.g., Chron's disease and ulcerative colitis, etc.), and central nervous system disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease).
