Abstract: The invention relates generally to the field of medical treatment. More particularly, the invention relates to treating a patient in order to increase the amount of ketones metabolized by mitochondria. Exemplary patients include those with Alzheimer's disease and insulin resistance.
Abstract: The present application relates to an anti-tumor compound and a preparation method and use thereof, and in particular to a compound or a tautomer, a mesomer, a racemate, an enantiomer or a diastereoisomer thereof, or a mixture thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a preparation method and use thereof.
Abstract: Beta-hydroxybutyrate compositions include a mixture of optically pure S-beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) or non-racemic mixture of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts and acid(s) enriched with the S-enantiomer. The S-beta-hydroxybutyrate enantiomer modulates the effect of ketone bodies in the subject and controls the rate at which ketosis is achieved. 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.
Abstract: A seed germination activator for control of broomrape includes butylisobutylphthalate (hereinafter “BIP”). A biocontrol composition includes BIP and at least two nonionic surfactants for administration in irrigation water. Methods of controlling broomrape may include administering the biocontrol composition comprising BIP in the irrigation water prior to planting crops.

Abstract: Provided are methods of sensitizing LKB1/STK11 deficient cancers to immune therapy. A method for treatment for LKB1/STK11 deficient cancers is provided comprising administration of inhibitor or inhibitors of one or more of NAMPT, CD38, SHP2, CXCR1/2, HDAC4 and PARP in combination with immunotherapy.
Abstract: Many drugs useful in treating cancer are metabolized by CYP2C8 enzymes, by CYP3A4 enzymes, or both. The effects of concomitant administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel, a drug used to treat cancer that is a substrate for both CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, are disclosed herein. Relacorilant potently inhibited CYP2C8 and CYP3A4 in in vitro tests, indicating that co-administration of relacorilant and paclitaxel would increase paclitaxel plasma exposure more than 5-fold in vivo, requiring significant reductions in paclitaxel doses when co-administering paclitaxel with relacorilant. Surprisingly, paclitaxel plasma exposure increased only by about 80% instead of the expected more than 5-fold increase expected with concomitant relacorilant and paclitaxel administration. Applicant discloses safe methods of co-administering relacorilant and paclitaxel by reducing the dose of paclitaxel to about half the paclitaxel dose used when paclitaxel is administered alone.
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods, compositions and kits for treatment of ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies, e.g. Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA). In some embodiments, the invention relates to the use of novel classes of compounds, i.e. inhibitors of RSK (p90S6K); inhibitors of p70S6K; and inhibitors of rps6, to treat ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies. In some embodiments, the invention relates to the use of specific Chk2 inhibitors and to the use of specific phenothiazine derivatives to treat ribosomal disorders and ribosomopathies, e.g. DBA.
