    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining blood brain barrier (BBB) damage and treating patients who may have suffered from BBB damage due to an ischemic event are provided. The methods and apparatus involve detecting the presence of cleaved occludin fragments in a sample of blood. According to some embodiments, the method further provides determining the degree of BBB damage based on the concentration of occludin fragments in the sample. In further embodiments the present disclosure provides kits for detecting the presence of occludin fragments in a blood sample.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the discovery that pyrazinamide, a potent anti-tuberculosis agent acts through an entirely unexpected mechanism-through inhibition of the host enzyme poly ADP ribose polymerase (“PARP”). Thus, the present invention is directed to methods of treating: mycobacterial infections (Mycobacterium), especially M. tuberculosis using a PARP inhibitor, optionally in combination with at least one additional agent useful in the treatment of a mycobacterial infection, especially tuberculosis. Pharmaceutical compositions, especially including a pharmaceutical composition in oral or inhalation dosage form, comprising a inhibitor, optionally in combination with an additional anti-mycobacterial agent, especially an additional anti-tuberculosis agent represent additional embodiments of the present invention.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to 13C and/or 2H isotope enhanced ambroxol (“isotope enhanced ambroxol”) and its use in the treatment of autophagy infections, especially mycobacterial and other infections, disease states and/or conditions of the lung, such as tuberculosis, especially including drug resistant and multiple drag resistant tuberculosis. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising isotope enhanced ambroxol, alone or in combination with an additional bioactive agent, especially rifamycin antibiotics, including an additional autophagy modulator (an agent which is active to promote or inhibit autophagy), thus being useful against, an autophagy mediated disease state and/or condition), especially an autophagy mediated disease state and/or condition which occurs in the lungs, for example, a Mycobacterium infection. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, Sjogren's disease and lung cancer (small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, among other disease states and/or conditions, especially of the lung. Methods of treating autophagy disease states and/or conditions, especially including autophagy disease states or conditions which occur principally in the lungs of a patient represent a further embodiment of the present invention. An additional embodiment includes methods of synthesizing compounds according to the present invention as otherwise disclosed herein.
