摘要:
The present invention generally relates to compositions and methods for topical or transdermal delivery for immune modulation. In some cases, the composition may include nitric oxide and/or peptides. The nitric oxide and/or peptide may be present within a first phase comprising a lecithin, such as phosphatidylcholine. In certain embodiments, the lecithin is present in liposomes, micelles, or other vesicles containing nitric oxide, peptides, or both. The composition can take the form of a gel, a cream, a lotion, an ointment, a solution, a solid “stick,” etc., that can be rubbed or sprayed onto the skin. Other aspects of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making or using such compositions, methods of promoting such compositions, kits including such compositions, or the like.

The present invention relates to compounds and methods for treating retroviral infections and/or Hepatitis B viral infections. Some compounds of the invention are described by Formula I: or a stereoisomer, a diastereomer, an enantiomer or racemate thereof.
摘要:
Peptide-lipid conjugates are incorporated into liposomes so as to selectively destabilize the liposomes in the vicinity of target peptidase-secreting cells, and hence, to deliver the liposomes to the vicinity of the target cells, or directly into the cells. The liposomes can thus be used to treat mammals for diseases, disorders or conditions, e.g., tumors, microbial infection and inflammations, characterized by the occurrence of peptidase-secreting cells.
摘要:
This invention discloses a method for preparing a complex comprised of a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand and a Non-Immunogenic, High Molecular Weight Compound or Lipophilic Compound by identifying a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand by SELEX methodology and associating the VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand with a Non-Immunogenic, High Molecular Weight Compound or Lipophilic Compound. The invention further discloses Complexes comprising one or more VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligands in association with a Non-Immunogenic, High Molecular Weight Compound or Lipophilic Compound. The invention further includes a Lipid construct comprising a VEGF Nucleic Acid Ligand or Complex and methods for making the same.
摘要:
An essentially pure immunogenic composite capable of selectively inducing antibody production in an animal to a peptide that if administered by itself to the animal without being conjugated to or mixed with additional substance does not stimulate production of anti-peptide antibody in the animal. This immunogenic composite comprises: a lipid and an amphipathic peptide. The amphipathic peptide if administered by itself to the animal without being conjugated to or mixed with additional substance does not stimulate production of anti-peptide antibody in the animal. The amphipathic peptide is covalently bound to the lipid in a peptide-lipid complex. The immunogenic composite has a vesicular or an amorphous particulate structure. Another embodiment of this immunogenic composite comprises: a lipid, the amphipathic peptide, and a hydrophilic peptide covalently bound together. The hydrophilic peptide if administered by itself to the animal without being conjugated to or mixed with additional substance does not stimulate production of anti-peptide antibody in the animal.

The present invention describes, inter alia, novel prodrugs comprising fluorinated amphiphiles, compositions comprising the novel prodrugs, and methods of use of the prodrugs and compositions.
摘要:
A dry powder composition comprises insoluble nucleic acid constructs dispersed within with a hydrophilic excipient material, where the powder particles have an average size in the range from 0.5 .mu.m to 50 .mu.m. Nucleic acid constructs may comprise bare nucleic acid molecules, viral vectors, or vesicle structures. The hydrophilic excipient material will be selected to stabilize the nucleic acid molecules in the constructs, enhance dispersion of the nucleic acid in dry powder aerosols, and enhance wetting of the nucleic acid constructs as they are delivered to moist target locations within the body.
