Abstract: Products and methods for treating cancer in a human patient comprising administering to the patient therapeutically effective amount of a first pharmaceutically active agent, wherein the first pharmaceutically active agent is one of an isothiocyanatostilbene and a pharmacologically acceptable salt, solvate, ester, amide, clathrate, stereoisomer, enantiomer, prodrug or analog thereof, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method of treating cancer or a precancer condition in a mammal comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a homovanillyl sinapate analog or pharmacologically acceptable salt, solvate, ester, amide, clathrate, stereoisomer, enantiomer, prodrug or analog thereof, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method for extracting S (-)-Oleocanthal from olive oil comprising mixing a first volume of water with a second volume of olive oil to form an olive oil/water mixture; letting the olive oil/water mixture stand; removing an aqueous fraction from the olive oil/water mixture leaving a reduced S (-)-Oleocanthal containing olive oil; and filtering the aqueous fraction to create aqueous S (-)-Oleocanthal.

Abstract: A method of inhibiting excitotoxicity by indirectly activating ?4?2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) which indirectly activate synaptic AMPA and NMDA receptors is disclosed. Inhibitors of ?7 nACHRs, such as macrocyclic diterpenoids, more specifically cembranoids or methyllycaconitine (MLA), indirectly activate ?4?2 nAChRs and can be used to treat neurodegenerative diseases, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson Disease, AIDS related dementia and the delayed effects of stroke. They can also be used to treat diseases associated with neuronal impairment, including, but not limited to glaucoma caused by optical nerve damage, delayed effects of epilepsy; and multiple sclerosis.
