  • Publication number: 20130210826
    Abstract: The present invention features methods and compositions for preventing, reducing, or treating a traumatic, metabolic, or toxic peripheral nerve lesion or pain including neuropathic pain, inflammatory, and nociceptive pain by administering to a mammal a compound that reduces expression or activity of BH4. This reduction may be achieved by reducing activity of a BH4 synthetic enzyme, including GTP cyclohydrolase, sepiapterin reductase, or dihydropteridine reductase; antagonizing the cofactor function of BH4 or BH4-dependent enzymes; or blocking BH4 binding to membrane bound receptors. The invention provides methods for diagnosing pain or a peripheral nerve lesion in a mammal by measuring levels of BH4 or its metabolites in biological sample or the levels or activity of any one of the BH4 synthetic enzyme in tissue samples of a mammal.

  • Publication number: 20130184295
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of screening for a therapeutic agent useful for treating pulmonary hypertension comprising: contacting an erythrocyte with a candidate therapeutic agent; and detecting a presence or absence of erythrocyte-derived adenosine triphosphate, wherein a greater erythrocyte-derived adenosine triphosphate level indicates the candidate therapeutic agent has greater activity in treating pulmonary hypertension. Additionally, the present invention is directed to methods of treating pulmonary arterial hypertension by stimulating ATP release from erythrocytes through co-administration to a subject in need thereof an amount of a PDE5 inhibitor compound, and an amount of a prostacyclin compound.
