Abstract:
Combination compositions exhibiting anti-viral activities are provided, which are based on unique combinations of polyphenol zinc ionophores. Exemplary compositions comprise combinations of flavonoid zinc ionophores selected from EGCG, quercetin and taxifolin, preferably further comprising a zinc compound and a copper compound. The compositions preferably contain additional ingredients to further enhance the anti-viral effect of the composition and/or to provide additional benefits.
Abstract:
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising substituted 1,4 naphthoquinones that are effective in preventing oligomerization of beta amyloid and subsequent pathologies associated with amyloid fibrils. These compositions are useful for the treatment of disease involving amyloidogenesis including neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease or senile dementia. Particularly effective compositions comprise 1,4 naphthoquinones substituted with an amino acid residue selected from a heterocyclic or aromatic amino acid.
