  • Patent number: 11858917
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to new bifunctional compounds and methods for treating HIV infections. The bifunctional small molecules, generally referred to as ARM-HI's, function through orthogonal pathways, by inhibiting the gp120-CD4 interaction, and by recruiting anti-DNP antibodies to gp120-expressing cells, thereby preventing cell infection and spread of HIV. It has been shown that ARM-HI's bind to gp120 and gp-120 expressing cells competitively with CD4, thereby decreasing viral infectivity as shown by an MT-2 cell assay, the binding leading to formation of a ternary complex by recruiting anti-DNP antibodies to bind thereto, the antibodies present in the ternary complex promoting the complement-dependent destruction of the gp120-expressing cells. Compounds and methods are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11844774
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a formulation with the effect of effectively suppressing or inhibiting amyloid fibril formation by the dissolution, elimination (discharge), etc. of amyloid fibril formation in vivo. If an agent for suppressing or inhibiting an amyloid fibril formation comprising tranilast or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient is administered by a method such as oral administration, amyloid fibril formation can be effectively suppressed or inhibited in vivo as a result of effects such as amyloid fibril dissolution or elimination (discharge). Therefore, it is possible to prevent or treat amyloid plaques, in which amyloid fibrils formed by the aggregation of amyloid protein have been deposited, and to prevent or treat diseases arising from amyloid fibril deposition, that is, diseases arising from the deposited amyloid fibrils themselves and diseases that cause dysfunction of organs or tissues as a result of amyloid fibril deposition.
