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:
Methods and compositions for treating Cryptosporidium parvum related disorders in a mammal are discussed. Several novel tetracycline compounds useful for treating Cryptosporidium parvum related disorders are also included.
摘要:
A treatment for conditions in human beings associated with either or both reactive arthritis or bursitis comprising a combination of acyclovir, minocycline hydrochloride, and metronidazole. An alternate treatment comprises the combination of valacyclovir hydrochloride, minocycline hydrochloride, and metronidazole.
摘要:
A method of reducing or inhibiting mucositis in a patient, which includes administering an inflammatory cytokine inhibitor or a mast cell inhibitor, or a combination thereof, is disclosed.
摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions for delivering an effective dose of an angiogenesis inhibitor consisting of a tetracycline or tetracycline such as minocycline. The effective dosage for inhibition of angiogenesis based on in vitro testing is between one and 500 micromolar. The compositions are delivered topically, locally or systemically using implants or injection. The composition is extremely selective for growth of endothelial cells, inhibiting growth, but is not cytotoxic at the effective dosages.
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:
Substituted tetracycline compounds, methods of synthesis, and methods of use are discussed. Tetracyclines useful for treating tetracycline related disorders are also discussed. Intermediates useful for synthesizing other tetracycline compounds are also included.
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.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to novel 7,9-substituted tetracycline compounds. These tetracycline compounds can be used to treat numerous tetracycline compound-responsive states, such as bacterial infections and neoplasms, as well as other known applications for minocycline and tetracycline compounds in general, such as blocking tetracycline efflux and modulation of gene expression.
