Abstract:
A method is provided for treating bowel disease related to the activity of TNF-α, through the administration of a θ-defensin, analog, or derivative. Such a θ-defensin, analog, or derivative can be effectively administered parenterally, topically, or orally. The θ-defensin, analog, or derivative can be selected to additionally inhibit ADAM-10 activity.

Abstract:
A method is provided for inhibiting TACE activity in a human subject, through the administration of a θ-defensin, analog, or derivative. Such a θ-defensin, analog, or derivative can be effectively administered parenterally, topically, or orally. The θ-defensin, analog, or derivative can be selected to additionally inhibit ADAM-10 activity.
Abstract:
A method is provided for a condition related to the activity of a protease through the administration of a θ-defensin, analog, or derivative is described. Suitable proteases include metalloproteases and cysteine proteases such as Cathepsin-C. The θ-defensin, analog, or derivative can be effectively administered parenterally, topically, or orally.
