摘要:
The present invention relates to the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related gastrointestinal pathologies. This invention also relates to the treatment of cytokine-mediated diseases, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-induced diseases and/or chemokine-mediated diseases. This invention also relates to treating an animal having a disease or condition associated with Toll-like receptor 4. Specifically, the present invention relates to the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related gastrointestinal pathologies that are cytokine-mediated or associated with Toll-like receptor 4. More specifically, this invention is directed to methods for treating or preventing IBD and related gastrointestinal pathologies using methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thiones. This invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions containing methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thiones, which are useful for the treatment or prophylaxis of IBD and related gastrointestinal pathologies. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations capable of inhibiting tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα)-induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression and the resulting leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion for the inhibition and prevention of inflammatory bowel syndrome and related gastrointestinal pathologies.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the treatment of autoimmune and/or inflammatory diseases associated with overexpression of Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as well as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. This invention also relates to the use of phenylmethimazoles, methimazole derivatives, and tautomeric cyclic thiones for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases associated with Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) as well as Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. This invention also relates to treating a subject having a disease or condition associated with abnormal Toll-like receptor 3 as well as Toll-like receptor 4 and/or TLR3/TLR4 signaling in nonimmune cells, monocytes, macrophages, and/or dendritic cells in association with related pathologies. The present invention also relates to the treatment of autoimmune-inflammatory pathologies and chemokine and cytokine-mediated diseases associated with TLR overexpression and signaling. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations capable of inhibiting the IRF-3/Type 1 IFN/STAT/ISRE/IRF-1 pathway associated with Toll-like receptor overexpression or signaling.
