摘要:
A method for treatment of hyperproliferative tissue which by exposing the hyperproliferative tissue to a sufficient quantity of a purified iridoid compound to inhibit its growth, where the iridoid compound includes a polysubstituted cyclopenta(c)dihydropyran where the cyclopenta ring is substituted at its 2′ position with a ketofuryl group, where the numbering of the fused cyclopenta(c)dihydropyran ring structure includes heterocyclic oxygen, is counterclockwise and begins at the first carbon atom counterclockwise from the cyclopenta ring so that oxygen is in the 2 position in the pyran ring. The invention also includes the mouse iridoid compounds.

摘要:
This invention provides nanocrystals or polymer doped nanocrystals of hydrophobic drug molecules as stably dispersed in an aqueous system which are prepared without stabilizers like surfactants and the like. In one embodiment, the drug is a tetra-pyrrole compound. An example is the hydrophobic photosensitizing anticancer drug 2-devinyl-2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)pyropheophorbide (HPPH). Pharmaceutical compositions comprising nanocrystals or polymer doped nanocrystals of hydrophobic drugs can be used for therapeutic purposes. For example pyropheophorbides such as HPPH can be used for photodynamic therapy. Drug efficacy of these nanocrystals were found to be comparable with that of same drug formulated in conventional delivery vehicles under in vitro and in vivo conditions.
摘要:
This invention describes a first report on the synthesis of certain 124I-labelled photosensitizers related to chlorines and bacteriochlorins with long wavelength absorption in the range of 660-800 nm. In preliminary studies, these compounds show a great potential for tumor detection by positron emission tomography (PET) and treatment by photodynamic therapy (PDT). The development of tumor imaging or improved photodynamic therapy agent(s) itself represent an important step, but a dual function agent (PET imaging and PDT) provides the potential for diagnostic body scan followed by targeted therapy.
