  • Method of treating Alzheimer's disease
    Patent number: 5567682
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease by the intranasal administration of a therapeutically effective amount of specific short chain peptides, in particular peptide T, to patients. Intranasal administration of the defined short chain peptides promotes neuronal survival for reducing or halting the progressive neuronal degeneration which occurs in Alzheimer's disease.

  • Treatment of non-HIV neuropathic pain syndromes
    Patent number: 5534495
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of treating diabetic and other non-HIV related neuropathic pain. The methods involve administration of an effective amount of defined linear peptides to patients. The peptides can be administered for example, as a powder or a solution obtained by dissolving a powder in a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent. Intranasal or sublingual administration of the defined peptides is the most preferred treatment.
