Abstract: The invention provides anti-apoptotic compositions containing lysophosphatidic acids and methods for making and using the compositions. Such compositions may also contain LPA potentiating agents, including proteins, lipid membrane structures and polymers such as polyethylene glycols. The compositions can additionally contain other pharmaceutically effective agents such as drugs, antibiotics, wound healing agents and antioxidants.

Abstract: A method to inhibit inflammation in a mammal is disclosed. The method includes administering to the mammal a composition comprising a phospholipid, which can be lysophosphatidic acid. The administration of a phospholipid is believed to down regulate expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of vascular endothelial cells and circulating leukocytes of the mammal.

Abstract: A composition comprising a storage-stable organ preservation solution, comprising a linear polyethylene glycol having an average molecular weight of approximately 20,000 Daltons and being essentially free of decomposition products. This solution can be used for organ preservation as a perfusate in a process in which the perfusate is flowed through the circulatory system of the organ, and can also be used for transplantation or routine open heart cardioplegic applications. The composition can be contained in a system comprising a means for preventing light exposure, especially UV light, to the solution. In addition, the system is preferably impervious to gases, particularly oxygen.
