  • PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATION TO BE ADMINISTERED INTO RESPIRATORY ORGANS FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING INFLAMMATORY RESPIRATORY DISEASES, AND METHOD FOR TREATING OR PREVENTING SUCH DISEASES
    Publication number: 20120060834
    Abstract: The present invention application relates to a pharmaceutical preparation to be administered into respiratory organs for treating or preventing inflammatory respiratory diseases, comprising a peptide which acts on formyl peptide receptors (FPRs) or receptors analogous thereto, in an amount which is effective in suppressing respiratory inflammation. The present invention application also relates to a method for treating or preventing inflammatory respiratory diseases by using the preparation, and to a kit containing the preparation. As compared with systemic administration of the peptide by injection, direct administration of the peptide to respiratory organs remarkedly improves the effect in suppressing respiratory inflammation.

  • Methods of contacting ? amyloid protein with VEGF
    Patent number: 7795213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a VEGF polypeptide that binds to A?. The present invention also relates to a compound that sequesters A?. And conversely, the invention relates to a compound that sequesters VEGF. Thus, the present invention also relates to a method of screening for a compound that inhibits the binding of VEGF to A?, and thus relates to prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

  • INHIBITORS OF AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN PROCESSING
    Publication number: 20090176711
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of using a compound as an inhibitor for ?-secretase, wherein the compound is capable of binding to the site within the ?-secretase recognition and/or cleavage site on amyloid precursor protein to specifically inhibit the ?-secretase's activity to cleave amyloid precursor protein with maintaining its activities to other substrates. Further, the present invention relates to inhibitors of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing which bind to the site within the ?-secretase or ?-secretase cleavage and/or recognition site on amyloid precursor protein.

  • Beta-amyloid binding factors and inhibitors thereof
    Publication number: 20030171556
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a VEGF polypeptide that binds to &bgr;-amyloid. The present invention also relates to a compound that sequesters &bgr;-amyloid. And conversely, the invention relates to a compound that sequesters VEGF. Thus, the present invention also relates to a method of screening for a compound that inhibits the binding of VEGF to &bgr;-amyloid, and thus relates to diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.
