  • Patent number: 10130686
    Abstract: Thyroid hormone antagonists and their nanoparticle formulations (Nanotetrac™ or Nanotriac™) act at a cell surface receptor to block angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. The complex anti-angiogenic performs actions on specific cytokines and chemokines. Thyroid hormone antagonists inhibit expression in tumor cells of cytokine genes, e.g., specific interleukins, and chemokine genes, such as fractalkine (CX3CL1), and chemokine receptor genes (CX3CR1) that are targets in the development of inflammation-suppressant drugs. This application discloses a novel composition of Tetra or Tri-iodothyroacetic acid (tetrac or triac), other thyroid partial agonists or antagonists and their nanoparticle formulations conjugated to polymers and encapsulating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids, and/or polyphenols for the management of various acute and chronic inflammatory disorders ranging from neurological, vascular, and musculoskeletal disorders.

  • Patent number: 10060934
    Abstract: A method for screening a patient for angioinhibition resistance and treating said patient having a disease susceptible to treatment via an anti-angiogenic agent. The screening method includes an assay for identifying the presence of angioinhibition resistance in patients by collecting patient blood or serum and subjecting it to a Chick Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) angiogenesis assay configured for accepting a human tumor wherein the human tumor xenograft includes a vasculature system. The screening method and assay further includes steps that include using the CAM results for identifying the endogenous pro-angiogenic non-peptide hormone concentrations of the blood sample by calculating the vascular activity of the vasculature system of the human tumor xenograft in the presence of anti-angiogenic drugs and inducing in the patient, a state of subclinical hypothyroidism prior to commencing anti-angiogenic treatment.
