摘要:
Methods for the detection of creatine compound levels in body fluid samples are discussed. Portable kits capable of determining creatine levels using non-invasive and visually detectable methods are also included.
摘要:
Methods and kits for determine arginine compounds are discussed. The methods and kits of the invention can be used for the diagnosis of arginine compound associated disorders.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of creatine compounds such as, for example, creatine, creatine phosphate or analogs of creatine, such as creatine-pyruvate, creatine-ascorbate, cyclocreatine, 3 guanidinopropionic acid, guanidinoacetate, homocyclocreatine, guanidino benzoates as energy generating systems and antioxidants for preservation of skin against adverse aging effects and damage secondary to insults such as harmful sun radiations, stress and fatigue. The creatine compounds which can be used in the present method include (1) creatine, creatine phosphate and analogs of these compounds which can act as substrates or substrate analogs for creatine kinase; (2) molecules that mimic the biological activity of creatine (3) molecules that modulate the creatine kinase system.
摘要:
The small molecule profiles of cells are compared to identify small molecules which are modulated in altered states. Cellular small molecule libraries, methods of identifying tissue sources, methods for treating genetic and non-genetic diseases, and methods for predicting the efficacy of drugs are also discussed.

摘要:
The invention provides methods of reducing or preventing oxidative stress-induced cell death by contacting a cell with a compound that inhibits the kinase activity and/or the mitochondrial translocation of c-Abl. The methods of the invention can be used to treat individuals individual diagnosed as having or being at risk of contracting a disorder characterized by excessive oxidative stress-induced cell death.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of analogs of creatine, such as cyclocreatine, as antiviral agents. Analogs of creatine can be used as antiviral agents against a variety of viruses, particularly DNA viruses, such as Herpes viruses (e.g., HSV-1, HSV-2, cytomegaloviruses, Varicella-Zoster virus) and adenovirus. The invention further relates to creatine analogs including four classes of creatine analogs selected as candidate antiviral compounds: (1) creatine analogs that can be phosphorylated by creatine kinase but differ in their phosphoryl group transfer potential, (2) bisubstrate inhibitors of creatine kinase comprising covalently linked structural analogs of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine, (3) creatine analogs which can act as irreversible inhibitors of creatine kinase, and (4) N-phosphorocreatine analogs bearing non-transferable moieties which mimic the N-phosphoryl group.
