Abstract:
The present invention provides methods of inhibiting replication of cold-causing viruses in respiratory epithelium cells and elaboration of IL-8 in the cells of subjects exposed to the viruses, by interfering with the virus binding to the cell membrane receptor that stimulates elaboration of IL-8 and viral replication. A polypeptide that binds to a virus and interferes with the binding of the virus to the cell is provided. An antibody that binds to a cell membrane-bound cytochrome and interferes with the virus binding to the cytochrome is also provided. Further, a chemical inhibitor of a membrane-bound cytochrome, that inhibitis viral replication in and elaboration of IL-8 by the cell, is provided. Moreover, the present invention provides methods of treating and reducing cold symptoms in a subject comprising administering to a subject any of the compositions of this invention. Further, the invention provides methods of screening for a compound which inhibits the interaction of a cold-causing virus and a respiratory epithelium cell.
Abstract:
The object of my invention is to provide a very safe and active drug against the new infectious disease called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). This illness is characterized by chronic debilitation and fatigue. Other symptoms include malaise, muscle and joint pain, muscle weakness, mild fever, recurrent sore throats, swollen or tender lymph nodes, headaches and a variety of neuropsychological complaints that include dizziness, visual disturbance, irritability, cognitive dysfunction, sleep disturbances. All Arsenic compounds, organic and inorganic, work as very good and efficacious drugs against the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Oral treatment: 2 milligrams of Arsenic trioxide/10 kilograms of body weight every day and for a period of 10-15 days. A second cycle can be made after 40 days. By intravenous injection of 2 milligrams of pure Arsenic/10 kilograms of body weight, for 2-4 consecutive days, we can resolve all the symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Abstract:
Presently provided are indoximod prodrug and salt compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising salts and prodrugs of indoximod, that produce enhanced plasma concentration and exposure to indoximod compared to direct administration of indoximod, in patients in need of treatment of immunosuppression mediated by the indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase pathway, such as patients with cancer or chronic infectious diseases.
Abstract:
Methods of inhibiting undesired angiogenesis are provided, which methods include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one of the compounds described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Abstract:
