摘要:
The invention provides antiviral compounds that can be used in therapy against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). Compounds of the invention can be dual targeted inhibitors of HIV, inhibiting both the reverse transcriptase and the integrase enzyme systems, thus increasing the barrier to development of viral resistance in patients. Prodrugs of the inventive antiviral compounds are also provided. Compounds of the invention can be used to treat HCV secondary infections in HIV-afflicted patients, reducing the need for administration of drug cocktails containing multiple, potentially conflicting, medicinal compounds. Methods of synthesis of the compounds and methods of treatment using the compounds are also provided.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for the modulation of wound healing, scar formation and organ fibrosis are provided. The methods and compositions involve modulation of the T cell death associated gene (TDAG51) and/or the related protein. The modulation of TDAG51 expression and/or activity may be effected by genetic or pharmacological means.
摘要:
A method for the prevention or treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection by administering an effective amount of amifostine, phosphonol, or similar compound to an individual in need is provided.
摘要:
A pharmaceutical composition is provided. The pharmaceutical composition includes an amount of disulfiram in unit dosage form which results in a peak serum concentration level which is therapeutically effective in treating an angiogenesis-dependent disorder and can also exhibit minimal or no disulfiram related side effects.
摘要:
A novel family of mammalian catecholamine proteins is identified. These proteins are useful in methods of diagnosing neurological diseases, including schizophrenia and bipolar disease, as well as cardiovascular disease. This family of CRP40 proteins are also useful to treat neurological diseases.
摘要:
The present application relates to the use of compounds that influence the sex hormone system for the treatment of wounds and/or fibrotic disorders. Preferred compounds for use in such treatments are steroid hormones and especially the oestrogens.
摘要:
The present invention concerns proteins encoded by a family of genes, termed here HDx-related genes, which are involved in the control of chromatin structure and, thus in transcription and translation. The present invention makes available compositions and methods that can be utilized, for example, to control cell proliferation and differentiation in vitro and in vivo.
摘要:
The invention provides a hydrogen sulfide releasing polymer compound having a polysaccharide backbone, wherein the compound has at least two substructures, and wherein said substructures are capable of releasing hydrogen sulfide by thiol activation as well as uses thereof. Additionally, a method of treatment and prevention of a skin condition, an ocular disease or osteoarthritis is provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of DBH inhibitors (e.g., disulfiram and Nepicastat), and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, for treating subjects with certain types of memory loss, for instance memory loss associated with a neurodegenerative disease, disorder, or condition, such as Alzheimer's Disease.
摘要:
The present invention provides an antimicrobial composition comprising at least one garlic extract and one or more of a bioflavonoid and/or an organic acid as well as the use of the same for treating or preventing bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections.
