摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods useful for detecting or treating asthma or other allergic or inflammatory diseases. In one aspect, the methods of the present invention include inhibiting the activity or expression of a component of an arginine metabolic pathway in tissues affected by asthma or other allergic or inflammatory diseases. In many embodiments, the component being inhibited is a cationic amino acid transporter, an arginase, or a component downstream of the arginase. In many other embodiments, the activity or expression of the component is inhibited by an agent that binds to the component. In still many other embodiments, the activity or expression of the component is inhibited by an agent that binds a polynucleotide encoding the component.

Beverage concentrates including at least a tea component, a natural nutritive sweetener present in an amount of at least 48% by weight and Lo Han Guo are also provided.
摘要:
Beverage compositions sweetened with at least one non-nutritive sweetener, such as a compound from the stevia plant, including steviol glycosides, e.g., rebaudiosides such as Rebaudioside A, stevioside, etc. Lo Han Guo (LHG) juice concentrate is present in an amount sufficient to enhance the mouthfeel of the beverage, yet not affect the taste. Non-nutritive sweetened beverage compositions, natural beverage compositions, and beverage concentrates incorporating steviosides and LHG juice concentrate are provided. In addition, a method for including LHG juice concentrate in a beverage formulation to enhance the mouthfeel of a beverage sweetened with a compound from the stevia plant is provided.
摘要:
Beverage compositions including a steviol glycoside and an acid component are provided. The beverage has a titratable acidity of about 9 to about 11.

The present invention is directed to a compound having the structure wherein A is a 7–18 membered ring that comprises 0 to 6 heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N; R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, substituted or unsubstituted C1-8alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-8alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-8alkynyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclyl; m is an integer from 0 to 3; X is selected from the group consisting of NR2, CHR3, O, or S; wherein R2 and R3 are each individually H or C1-8alkyl; R is selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl-(C1-3)alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl-(C3-7)cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl-(C1-3)alkyl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl-(C3-7)cycloalkyl; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; with the proviso that if A is a 7 or 8 membered ring, then R1 is selected from the group consisting of other than H, C1–C4 alkyl, (C1–C4 alkoxy)C1–C4 alkyl, C1–C4 alkanoyl, C1–C4 alkoxy or —S(O)x(C1–C4 alkyl) wherein x is 0 to 2, and wherein said alkyl group and the alkyl moieties of said R1 groups are optionally substituted by 1 to 3 halogens. The present invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the above compound, and methods of treating patients suffering from tyrosine kinase-mediated disorders using the above compound.
摘要:
The invention encompasses novel compounds of Formula I, which are anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombotic agents. The invention also encompasses certain pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) mediated diseases comprising the use of compounds of Formula I. The above compounds may be used as a combination therapy with low-dose aspirin, NSAIDs, or selective COX-2 inhibitors to treat chronic cyclooxygenases mediated diseases or conditions while simultaneously reducing the risk of thrombotic cardiovascular events.
摘要:
Recombinant materials for the production of practical amounts of the sweet protein, mabinlin are provided. In addition, transgenic plants which have inherently sweetened edible parts result from modifying native plants containing edible parts to express the mabinlin gene. Single-chain forms of this protein which retain their sweetening property are also provided.
摘要:
Beverage products are provided which include rebaudioside A, erythritol, and an acid component. The beverage product has a titratable acidity in the range of about 8.75 to about 10.25, and a pH in the range of about 2.8 to about 3.3. Beverage products disclosed herein achieve a proper sweet/tart ratio to increase sweetness and to reduce tartness and bitterness of beverages made with natural sweeteners.
