  • Patent number: 10918651
    Abstract: The inventor has discovered that a particular dosage of Alpha Glycerylphosphoryl Choline administered to adult males results in a reduction of thyrotropin serum. Thytotropin levels are depressed with increased dopamine levels in the brain, and CDP-choline has been shown to increase dopamine and dopamine receptor density in the CNS. By suppressing the TSH levels in the brain to increase dopamine levels, this invention can assist in the treatment of depression, as well as symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as chills, depression, sluggishness, or feelings of weakness.

  • Patent number: 10881647
    Abstract: Since each of the site I sodium channel blockers have a unique activity and cannot be used to extrapolate the same effective dosage for another site I sodium channel blocker, studies were conducted to identify dosages of neosaxitoxin (“NeoSTX”) and bupivacaine, alone or in combination with epinephrine, to provide two to three days of pain relief in humans. Bupivacaine-NeoSTX combinations produce more reliable blockade and longer duration blockade compared to NeoSTX alone. The three-way combination of NeoSTX-bupivacaine-epinephrine produces more prolonged local anesthesia than the two-way combination of NeoSTX-bupivacaine. Addition of epinephrine to this NeoSTX-bupivacaine combination dramatically prolongs the duration of complete blockade to a mechanical stimulus. These results led to development of specific combination dosage formulations.
