Abstract:
This invention provides a method of ameliorating the symptoms of, or treating post-traumatic stress disorder in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a compound that upregulates TIA-1 multimerization. This invention also provides a method of ameliorating the symptoms of, or treating post-traumatic stress disorder in a mammal, the method comprising administering to the mammal an effective amount of a compound that inhibits TIA-1 multimerization. This invention also provides a method for determining whether a predetermined compound upregulates or inhibits TIA-1 multimerization, using fluoresence resonance energy transfer (FRET), the method comprising: expressing recombinant TIA-CFP and TIA-YFP; exposing the recombinant TIA-CFP and TIA-YFP to such predetermined compound; exciting the TIA-CFP with a laser; and measuring the fluorescence of TIA-YFP, wherein an increase in fluorescence relative to TIA-CFP and TIA-YFP not exposed to the predetermined compound indicates that the predetermined compound upregulates TIA-1 multimerization and a decrease in fluorescence relative to TIA-CFP and TIA-YFP not exposed to the predetermined compound indicates that the predetermined compound inhibits TIA-1 multimerization.
Abstract:
The subject invention provides a method of treating an individual afflicted with early stage Dupuytren' s disease characterized by the presence of one or more nodules on the individual's hand which comprises injecting into each nodule a pharmaceutical composition comprising an amount of an antihuman TNFa antibody or fragment thereof effective to treat the individual, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a liquid and between 0.1 ml and 0.6 ml of the composition is injected into each nodule. This invention also provides for a pre-filled syringe for carrying out the above-described method.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method of treating a subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis (MS) or presenting a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) comprising administering to the subject laquinimod as an add-on to or in combination with pridopidine. This invention also provides a package and a pharmaceutical composition comprising laquinimod and pridopidine for treating a subject afflicted with MS or presenting CIS. This invention also provides laquinimod for use as an add-on therapy or in combination with pridopidine in treating a subject afflicted with MS or presenting CIS. This invention further provides use of laquinimod and pridopidine in the preparation of a combination for treating a subject afflicted with MS or presenting CIS.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compounds of structure (I), methods of using such compounds, and pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds. In addition, this invention provides methods for the treatment and/or prevention of disease states mediated by Aryl Hydrocarbon receptor pathways.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for treating a human subject afflicted with multiple sclerosis or a single clinical attack consistent, with multiple sclerosis with a pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, comprising the steps of: (i) determining a genotype of the subject at a location corresponding to the location of one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the group consisting of: rs1894408, kgp7747883, kgp6599438, rs10162089, rs16886004, kgp8110667, kgp8817856, kgp24415534, kgp6214351 and rs759458, (ii) identifying the subject as a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate if the genotype of the subject contains one or more A alleles at the location of kgp8110667, rs10162089, rs759458 and kgp6214351, or one or more G alleles at the location of kgp24415534, kgp6599438, kgp7747883, kgp8817856, rs16886004 and rs1894408; and iii) administering the pharmaceutical composition comprising glatiramer acetate and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the subject only if the subject is identified as a predicted responder to glatiramer acetate.
Abstract:
A method of treating a depressive or stress disorder in a subject afflicted therewith comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound having the structure: (I).
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods and compositions of prophylaxis for, or for treating, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, arthritis, skin damage, or atherosclerotic plaque rupture in a subject in need thereof, which comprise i) a statin or ii) a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
