摘要:
A method is disclosed for determining whether a compound binds to a lipoprotein such as LDL or VLDL in a manner which will lower plasma cholesterol is provided that includes assessing the ability of the compound to form a complex with the lipoprotein, e.g., LDL or VLDL, and then determining whether the newly formed complex causes a change in the structure of apoB-100 that results in increased binding affinity to the LDL receptor. Also disclosed is a method for lowering cholesterol in a host in need thereof, including a human, is provided that includes the administration of an effective amount of a compound which binds to cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein (e.g. LDL or VLDL) in a manner that alters the three dimensional configuration of the lipoprotein and increases the binding affinity of the apoB-100 protein to the LDL receptor, including those on the surface of a hepatic cell.
摘要:
The present invention discloses (1) phenolic ester hybrids of niacin with m-methoxy-p-hydroxy phenyl compounds like eugenol, vanillin, apocynin, ferulic acid, isoferulic acid and eugenol epoxide and (2) cocrystals of hybrids as above, particularly cocrystal of niacin-eugenol hybrid with cocrystal former like eugenol and oxalic acid (3) novel pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of niacin and one or more small molecule/potentiating agent like eugenol, curcumin, cinnamic acid, meclofenamic acid, and their use in the treatment of a disorder or a disease caused by excess production of amyloid beta peptide-42 (Aβ42), its deposition, accumulation, and plaque formation including Alzheimer's Disease, dementia and mild cognitive impairment as well as other neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's Disease, Huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, amytrophic lateral sclerosis and ischemic stroke.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and compositions comprising compounds that treat pathophysiological conditions arising from inflammatory responses. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds that inhibit or block glycated protein produced induction of the signaling-associated inflammatory response in endothelial cells. The present invention relates to compounds that inhibit smooth muscle proliferation. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds that inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation by modulating HSPGs such as Perlecan. The present invention further relates to the use of compounds to treat vascular occlusive conditions characterized by smooth muscle proliferation such as restenosis and atherosclerosis.

The present invention relates to methods, compounds, and compositions comprising compounds that treat pathophysiological conditions arising from inflammatory responses, and is directed to compounds that inhibit or block glycated protein produced induction of the signaling-associated inflammatory response in endothelial cells. The present invention also relates to compounds that inhibit smooth muscle proliferation, for example, by modulating HSPGs such as Perlecan. The present invention further relates to the use of compounds to treat vascular occlusive conditions characterized by smooth muscle proliferation such as restenosis and atherosclerosis. This invention also relates to medical devices, such as a stent, comprising a compound or composition of this invention disposed on or within the medical device.
摘要:
It has been discovered that certain selected ethers of probucol, and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs, are useful for increasing circulating HDL cholesterol. These compounds may also improve HDL functionality by (a) increasing clearance of cholesteryl esters, (b) increasing HDL-particle affinity for hepatic cell surface receptors or (c) increasing the half life of apoAI-HDL.
