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.

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 novel compounds and methods of use for inhibition and prevention of cell adhesion and cell adhesion-mediated pathologies. This invention also relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising these compounds and methods of using them for inhibition and prevention of cell adhesion and cell adhesion-mediated pathologies. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be used as therapeutic or prophylactic agents. In particular, methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thiones have the ability to inhibit the adhesion and the migration of leukocytes. In addition to being active anti-inflammatories, the methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thiones and their physiologically tolerable salts, derivatives and prodrugs are generally suitable for the treatment (i.e., for the therapy and prophylaxis) of diseases that are based on the interaction between VCAM-1 and its ligands or can be influenced by an inhibition of this interaction. In particular, the methimazole derivatives and tautomeric cyclic thiones are suitable for the treatment of diseases that are caused at least partly by an undesired extent of leukocyte adhesion and/or leukocyte migration or are connected therewith, and for whose prevention, alleviation or cure the adhesion and/or migration of leukocytes should be decreased.
摘要:
The present invention provides targeted delivery systems to deliver pharmaceuticals to irradiated tissue comprising a biomolecule carrier, a targeting moiety to cellular adhesion molecules and a pharmaceutical. The present invention also provides methods of selectively targeting endothelial tissue for delivery of a pharmaceutical thereto and of treating a pathophysiological state in an individual using the targeted delivery systems disclosed herein. Further provided is a method of optimizing an immunoliposome for specific targeting of a pharmaceutical encapsulated therein to irradiated tissue by selecting a liposome that has a greater rate of adhesion to the irradiated tissue than a rate of uptake by the reticuloendothelial system.
