Abstract:
Stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) for treatment of several neurological, muscular and infertility diseases and conditions is provided. In particular, the stabilized ACC may be used in the treatment of axonal defects and muscular dystrophy. In addition, provided are improved methods used in assistant reproductive technology. Examples of such methods are in vitro fertilization and improvement of sperm quality. The improved IVF method, for example, comprises addition of the stabilized ACC to the cell culture medium in which the stages of fertilization and embryo development occurs.
Abstract:
The present invention provides solid compositions of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and a polyphosphate, bisphosphonate or pharmaceutical salts thereof as a stabilizer. Said stabilizers stabilizes the ACC and prevent crystallization to crystalline calcium carbonate (('( (") for a long period of time, even in an aqueous suspension. The invention further provides pharmaceutical composition comprising the solid ACC compositions as well their use in treating of certain diseases and conditions.
