  • Method for the treatment of gastric ulcer
    Patent number: 4957741
    Abstract: Lipid material or ganglioside from mammalian sources e.g. bovine and porcine brain or omentum is used to treat peptic ulcers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 1988
    Date of Patent: September 18, 1990
    Assignee: Angio-Medical Corp.
    Inventors: Ahmad R. Kamarei, Nicholas Catsimpoolas, Robert McCluer, Takashi Mise, Robert S. Sinn
  • Method for provoking angiogenesis by administration of angiogenically active oligosaccharides
    Patent number: 4895838
    Abstract: A method for causing or increasing angiogenesis is described. The method involves administering to a subject, such as a human being in need of angiogenesis an angiogenically effective amount of an angiogenically effective, pharmaceutically acceptable oligosaccharide or mixture of oligosaccharides.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 9, 1988
    Date of Patent: January 23, 1990
    Assignees: Trustees of Boston University, Angio-Medical Corporation

  • Method for enhancing angiogenesis with lipid containing molecules
    Patent number: 4888324
    Abstract: Compositions which contain lipid containing molecules possessing angiogenic activity are disclosed. The lipid containing molecules have been found in mammalian tissue, particularly the omentum, of various animals. Additionally, known lipids, such as gangliosides, are unexpectedly found to possess angiogenic activity. A method for obtaining the omentum-derived lipids, and for use of these and known lipids, are disclosed as well.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 1987
    Date of Patent: December 19, 1989
    Assignees: Angio-Medical Corporation, Trustees of Boston University
    Inventors: Nicholas Catsimpoolas, Robert McCluer, Robert S. Sinn, James Evans
  • Increased vascular perfusion following administration of lipids
    Patent number: 4769362
    Abstract: Lipid containing molecules and compositions, including gangliosides and omental tissue extracts had previously been found to be effective in increasing angiogenesis. It has now been found that these same materials cause increased localized perfusion in mammals. A method for providing increased perfusion, using these compositions, is presented herein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 14, 1986
    Date of Patent: September 6, 1988
    Assignees: Trustees of Boston University, Angio-Medical Corporation
