  • Patent number: 12090129
    Abstract: Ketogenic compositions include a non-racemic mixture of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) enriched with the R-enantiomer. The compositions are enriched with the R-enantiomer to elevate ketone bodies and increase the rate at which ketosis is achieved yet contains an amount of the S-enantiomer to provide alternative benefits. Beta-hydroxybutyric acid is more rapidly absorbed and utilized by the body than salts or esters, enhances taste, and reduces the need to include citric acid or other edible acids. Beta-hydroxybutyrate salts are more slowly absorbed and utilized by the body and can provide one or more electrolytes. Compositions for increasing ketone body level in a subject may contain a dietetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a non-racemic mixture of R-beta-hydroxybutyrate and S-beta-hydroxybutyrate, wherein the non-racemic mixture of R-beta-hydroxybutyrate and S-beta-hydroxybutyrate contains from about 50.5% to 99.

  • Patent number: 12053465
    Abstract: Potassium chloride cotransporter-2 (KCC2) plays a critical role in brain function, and deficiency in KCC2 has been linked to neurological diseases, psychiatric disorders, and central nervous system injuries. In particular, Rett syndrome (RTT), a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the X-linked gene Methyl CpG binding Protein 2 (MECP2), has been linked to deficits in KCC2. The disclosure reports the use of CRISPR/Cas9 genome-editing technology to generate stem cell-derived, genetically defined KCC2 reporter human neurons for large-scale compound screening. This screening platform has been utilized to identify a number of small molecule compounds that are capable of enhancing KCC2 expression in both wild-type and RTT neurons, as well as organotypical brain slices cultured from wild-type mice.
