Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method of treating ophthalmic conditions by administering to a vertebrateinflicted with the condition a therapeutically effective amount of a peptide which is derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) and biologically functional equivalents thereof. Specifically,the peptides derived from alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (a-MSH) include a-MSH (1-13) which is SYSMEHFRWGKPV (SEQ. ID NO. 4), a-MSH (4-10) which is MEHFRWG (SEQ. ID NO. 2), a-MSH (6-13)which is HFRWGKPV (SEQ. ID NO. 3), a-MSH (11-13) which is KPV (SEQ. ID NO. 1), and a KPV dimer(SEQ. ID NO. 5). The ophthalmic condition can be the result of an on going insult such as "Computer Eyes"or an acute or chronic infection of the eyes. The infective organism can be caused by a microorganism,which includes a bacteria, a fungi or a virus. The vertebrate includes a bird and a mammal. The peptidehas antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties and therefore can be administered at the onset of the ophthalmic condition before the insult causing the condition is determinedas well as thereafter.

Abstract:
A composition and method for controlling host response to organ and/or tissue transplantation and grafting. Alpha-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone protects organ and tissue transplantation by controlling factors within the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted. Treatment with a-MSH and/or its derivatives can affect warm and cold ischemia times and thus promotes organ viability. Treatment of the donor, host and of the organ or tissue to be transplanted with an appropriate dosage of a-MSH and/or its derivatives limits biochemical pathways that would normally work to reject an organ and/or tissue transplantation. α-MSHaugments successful graft transplantation whether it be allograft or xenograft.
Abstract:
Novel peptides with antimicrobial activity are disclosed. The novel peptides are octomeric peptides modifiedfrom a-MSH. The modified a-MSH antimicrobial peptides disclosed herein may have enhanced activity against microbes over a-MSH due to modifications in peptide sequence and chirality of amino acids. Due an identified mechanism of action for antimicrobial activity in which cAMP accumulates in the microbial cell, it may be that microbes will not generate resistance to these modified a-MSH antimicrobial peptides.
