    摘要: Chemically modified tetracyclines are a new class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs which inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 and tumor necrosis factor alpha. These chemically modified tetracyclines are used in a method for inhibiting COX-2, which in turn inhibits PGE2, and/or inhibiting TNF&agr;. They are also used in a method for treating a disease or disorder associated with elevated activities of COX-2 (i.e., increased production of PGE2) and/or TNF&agr;.

    摘要: The invention is a method of inhibiting the activity of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase (MT-MMP) in biological systems. Accordingly, the invention permits the treatment of medical conditions in mammals that are characterized by MT-MMP activity, and especially those conditions characterized by excessive MT-MMP activity. The method employs a tetracycline compound, preferably a non-antimicrobial tetracycline, and more preferably 6-demethyl-6-deoxy-4-de(dimethylamino)tetracycline (CMT-3) or 6-&agr;-deoxy-5-hydroxy-4-de(dimethylamino)tetracycline (CMT-8) to inhibit the MT-MMP activity.

    摘要: The present invention provides an improved methodology by which therapeutically to overcome resistance to tetracycline in living cells including bacteria, parasites, fungi, and rickettsiae. The methodology employs a blocking agent such as C5 ester derivatives, or 6-deoxy 13-(substituted mercapto) derivatives of tetracycline, in combination with other tetracycline-type antibiotics as a synergistic combination of compositions to be administered simultaneously, sequentially or concurrently. In another embodiment, certain novel compositions are provided which may be administered alone against, for example, a sensitive or resistant strain of gram positive bacteria such as S. aureus and E. faecalis. The concomitantly administered compositions effectively overcome the tetracycline resistant mechanisms present such that the cell is effectively converted from a tetracycline-resistant state to a tetracycline-sensitive state.
