  • Patent number: 10201552
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for reducing transmission and/or infection of HIV in a subject by increasing the bioavailability of a drug in the subject. The methods and compositions provided herein include an efflux transporter inhibitor and a drug effective for reducing the transmission and/or infection of HIV in a subject. The efflux transporter inhibitor is effective to reduce the efflux of the drug through at least one of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistant associated protein 1-9 (MRP1-9).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 12, 2019

  • Patent number: 9433608
    Abstract: A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition may include at least a benzodiazepine class material. In another form, the composition may include at least two components selected from the group consisting of an antagonist of the type 3 ryanodine receptor, an NMDA blocker (antagonist), and a benzodiazepine class material which can be administered for ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury. In one form, all three components may be used.

  • Publication number: 20160143886
    Abstract: A method and composition for the treatment of ischemic neuronal reperfusion injury are provided. The composition can include a compound which is a combination of dantrolene and a residue of FMOC-valine. This composition can be used to provide a faster and higher CNS penetration than heretofore experienced with dantrolene. In another form, dantrolene may be formulated as a pro-drug, a pro-pro-drug and the like.

  • Publication number: 20150352177
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for treating an ocular disease in a subject in need thereof by increasing the bioavailability of a drug in the subject's eye. In one aspect, the ocular disease is at least one of diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, endopthalmitis, glaucoma, cataracts, ocular herpes. The methods and compositions provided herein include an efflux transporter inhibitor and a drug effective for treating the ocular disease. The efflux transporter inhibitor is effective to reduce the efflux of the drug through at least one of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistant associated protein 1-9 (MRP1-9).

  • Publication number: 20150111833
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for treating an ocular disease in a subject in need thereof by increasing the bioavailability of a drug in the subjects eye. By one approach, the ocular disease is endophthalmitis. The methods and compositions provided herein include an efflux transporter inhibitor and a drug effective for treating the ocular disease. The efflux transporter inhibitor is effective to reduce the efflux of the drug through at least one of Pglycoprotein (Pgp), breast cancer resistant protein (BCRP), and multidrug resistant associated protein 19 (MRP19). In one aspect, cyclosporine A is the efflux transporter inhibitor.
