摘要:
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been shown to reduce aqueous humor production and thereby reduce intraocular pressure in the eye. Accordingly, there is a need for agents that can selectively and efficiently inhibit expression of the CA2 gene such that subjects having a CA2-associated disorder, such as glaucoma, can be effectively treated. The disclosure relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2), and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to alter (e.g., inhibit) expression of carbonic anhydrase 2.
摘要:
This application relates to methods and compositions for the administration of disulfiram (DSF) and heavy metals zinc and copper for the treatment and prevention of medical conditions, such as cancer. DSF and copper as well as DSF and zinc form active complexes that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancers. However, as described herein, DSF is incompatible with either copper or zinc for simultaneous oral administration. Included herein are improved methods and oral dosage forms comprising DSF and copper and DSF and zinc in fixed dose combinations that are configured to temporally stagger release of either DSF and copper or DSF and zinc after ingestion.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are 1,4-naphthoquinone analogs, pharmaceutical compositions that include one or more of such 1,4-naphthoquinone analogs, and methods of treating and/or ameliorating diseases and/or conditions associated with a cancer, such as prostate cancer with such 1,4-naphthoquinone analogs. Also included are combination therapies wherein a 1,4-naphthoquinone analog disclosed herein, and a hormone therapy agent are provided to a subject suffering from a condition such as cancer.
摘要:
A multi-gene-based assay for analysis of the following: (a) oncogene expression; (b) DNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes; (c) non-coding RNA expression (microRNA profiling); and (d) long non-coding RNA expression in cancer samples is disclosed. The assay method and device for conducting the assay are applicable to diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of various cancers such as lung, breast, colorectal, prostate, liver, bladder; kidney, cervix, pancreatic, gastric, brain, oral, endometrium, and ovary. The assay methods allow avoidance of surgery to remove cancerous tissue.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the compound (E,Z)-ajoene of formula (1) for use in treatment of bacterial infections. Another aspect of the present invention is a composition comprising (E,Z)-ajoene of formula (1) and at least one antibiotic. Yet another aspect of the invention relates to a method for manufacturing (E,Z) ajoene of formula (1) wherein the conformation of the internal C=C- bond can be either E or Z or a mixture thereof, said method comprising reacting allicin of formula (3) with an acid in the presence of a solvent to provide (E,Z ajoene) of formula (1) as defined above. Yet another aspect of the invention is (E,Z)-ajoene of formula 1 obtainable by the method described above.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel methods and compositions for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer and myeloproliferative disorders. The invention also provides methods of identifying anti-cancer agents.
摘要:
The invention provides, in part, compositions and methods for protecting a hemopoietic cell, or for treating myelosuppression, in a subject in need thereof, by administering an effective amount of an inhibitor of a SH2-containing inositol-5'-phosphatase.
