  • Patent number: 11714087
    Abstract: The present invention derives from the unexpected finding that necroptosis is a novel biomarker and target for therapy in patients with liver failure such as acute liver failure (ALF) and acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). RIPK1, MLKL or RIPK3 can be detected and quantified in serum or plasma, and used as a biomarker for outcome in ACLF and other diseases involving aberrant necroptosis. By antagonising RIPK1, MLKL or RIPK3 many of the unwanted consequences or symptoms of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) may be reduced. The present invention utilises these findings to identify and provide antagonists of RIPK1, MLKL and RIPK3 that may be used in the treatment or prevention of ACLF. The present invention utilises these findings to identify and provide antagonists of RIPK1, MLKL or RIPK3 that may be used in the treatment or prevention of aberrant necroptosis in the kidney, brain, liver or other organ of the body.

  • Patent number: 11649252
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing, amongst other things, amino-acid and/or hydroxycarboxylic-acid metal chelates, a solvent-free mixture of at least one metal oxide, metal hydroxide, metal carbonate or oxalate, and the solid organic acid is subjected to intensive mechanical stress. According to the invention, this is done in that the reaction partners are introduced in particle form into a fluid stream of a fluid-bed countercurrent mill operating without grinding elements, wherein mechanical activation of at least one of the reaction partners is effected by collision processes within a reaction chamber formed in a region of the fluid stream, and a solid body reaction to form the metal chelate is triggered. The novel method operates very energy-efficiently and with a high specific yield. It leads to a product having compact particles in the small, single-digit micrometer range having a comparatively narrow particle sizc distribution and a large surface. The product is homogenous and very pure.
