  • Patent number: 11773111
    Abstract: Novel dual 5-LO inhibitors of well validated electrophilic Michael acceptors and nitrogen-heterocycles are presented and designed to maintain specific structural features of currently known dual 5-LO inhibitors and to overcome their drawbacks. The Michael acceptor scaffold will act as a carrier and will provide a stable anchorage via covalent binding to cysteine/histidine residues within the catalytic cleft and/or the surface interface of the 5-LO; whereas, the nitrogen-heterocycles will ensure the access to the Fe(II) catalytic center. These combinations offer potential for more than one mode of iron chelation and 5-LO inhibition.

  • Patent number: 9333186
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of treating the coat of an animal. The method includes the steps of applying a composition to the coat of the animal, diffusing the composition by action of a carrier, storing the active ingredients of the composition by the sebaceous glands of the animal, and gradually releasing the active ingredients from the sebaceous glands. The dermo-cosmetic composition includes a diffusion solvent vehicle that enables, by a simple application to one or more points of the cutaneous surface, a diffusion over the entirety thereof and at the level of the sebaceous glands. The active ingredients, primarily including a complex of essential oils and of polyunsaturated fatty acids, stored in these sebaceous glands can be salted out progressively with the sebum product to the surface of the skin.

  • Publication number: 20140194374
    Abstract: A new method of controlling worm burden in ruminants by using two different injectable anthelmintics at or about the same time to increase the time between treatments and to rely on the animal's immune response. One of the anthelmintics is a long acting formulation capable of providing a sustained release of abamectin or other macrocyclic lactone for 2-14 days, to enable the anthelmintic to remove or kill incoming larvae for a sufficiently long period of time to allow the host to recognise the incoming larvae as foreign, and thus allow the ruminant to mount an immune response against these incoming larvae. The other is a short acting anthelmintic such as levamisole designed to substantially eliminate the initial parasite population of adults, juveniles and larvae. They can be combined into a single injectable formulation with a high percentage of levamisole (preferably over 30% of the formulation w/v) together with about 1% w/v of a macrocyclic lactone such as abamectin, dissolved in glycerol formal.

  • Publication number: 20120251629
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating a patient for a condition where blood flow to a tissue or organ is interrupted. This method involves administering to a patient with a hypoxic condition where blood flow to a tissue or organ is interrupted, or at risk thereof, a compound that reduces the rate of HIF-1? inactivation in cells affected by the condition, thereby treating the patient for the condition. Also disclosed is a method of treating a tumor in a patient. In addition, the present invention relates to methods of identifying compounds as candidate drugs for treatment of hypoxic conditions and for treating tumors in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20120245166
    Abstract: Methods for enhancing memory and/or learning and prevent neurodegeneration by administration of certain heterocyclic and aromatic compounds are described. The methods are particularly useful for treating patients suffering from a neurodegenerative disease such as (without limitation) Alzheimer's, Parkinsons's, Lou Gehrig's (ALS) disease or memory or learning impairment. A neuronal human cell-based assay that assess NF-kB gene up-regulation using a luciferase reporter is also provided that screens for compounds useful in methods for enhancing memory or learning.

  • Publication number: 20120245147
    Abstract: Methods for screening for inhibitors of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress are provided. These methods involve the addition of thapsigargin, which induces ER stress, and a test agent to mammalian cells in multi-well plates. Cell survival can be readily monitored by measuring intracellular ATP content using a bioluminescent reagent. Screening a commercially available library of 50,000 compounds led to the identification of 93 hit compounds that were subjected to secondary assays to confirm their ability to rescue cells from thapsigargin-induced cell death.

  • Patent number: 8252822
    Abstract: Novel compounds having a fused bicyclic heteroaromatic ring system substituted with a heteroaryl five-membered ring are disclosed. The compounds inhibit growth of a variety of types of cancer cells, and are thus useful for treating cancer. Efficacy of these compounds is demonstrated with a system for monitoring cell growth/migration, which shows they are potent inhibitors of growth and/or migration of cancer cells. In addition, compounds of the invention were shown to stop growth of tumors in vivo, and to reduce the size of tumors in vivo. Compositions comprising these compounds, and methods to use these compounds and compositions for treatment of cancers, are disclosed.
