  • Patent number: 8124655
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for ameliorating, overcoming, or inhibiting insulin resistance in a subject, comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of LR-90 and LR-102, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof. Methods of treating type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, or preventing or slowing their development are also encompassed by the invention.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7652037
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for lowering lipid levels in mammals using compounds that inhibit advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), LR-9, LR-74 and LR-90. These compounds, which inhibit non-enzymatic protein glycation, also inhibit the formation of advanced lipoxidation endproducts (ALES) on target proteins by trapping intermediates in glycoxidation and lopoxidation and inhibiting oxidation reactions important in the formation of AGEs and ALEs.
